BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I agree. I don’t like sponsors on shirts, just as I don’t like logos on clothes either. Why should people walk around advertising someone’s product for free, especially having had to have paid for the garment? I hope clubs will also stop renewing kits every year, the environmental impact is massive and totally unnecessary. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Our Hummel kit is made with H2Zero technology, which apparently cuts down on waste by 50% which is pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, the eco-system reason is that shirt sponsors pay money into a club to have their company advertised across an entire fan-base and on the pitch every match. What Paddy Power are doing now is great but don't see it picking up when literally the only reason a shirt sponsorship exists is to have the sponsor displayed on a shirt. And clubs certainly won't turn down an extra revenue stream. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You don't really need to see it on players shirts every game to be aware of it. Link to post Share on other sites

That is good, but the majority of kits aren’t made like that and they aren’t biodegradable. Link to post Share on other sites

You don't really need to see it on players shirts every game to be aware of it. We have those as well and surely they're part of a sponsorship deal, you don't just agree to be a sponsor, you want to know where you're being advertised. I imagine most shirt sponsors are advertised a lot of other places across the club but shirt sponsors is a unique opportunity where your replica merchandise has to incorporate it and you have to take it with you wherever you go. You won't see our shirt sponsors in someone else's stadium unless they're sponsoring those as well (which, to be fair, 32Red appear to be sponsoring everyone at the moment haha). I'm sure they'll pay so much for being on the advertising hoardings at the Riverside and then more because they're on the shirts, not one lump sum regardless of where and how often they're being shown.

I'm pretty sure that will be a requirement of handing over the money for the sponsorship deal. So yes, they do have to be. Not saying I disagree about whether it looks nice or whether it's right that fans have to advertise the sponsor to buy the shirt. But then if that bothers the individual so much, they won't buy the shirt. I don't see that having a massive effect on our shirt sales though. Link to post Share on other sites
