Tom 2,492 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 The best Boro shirt in recent years was the one you could buy without a sponsor. It's the only home shirt I have bought in the last 20 years. Link to post Share on other sites

We can take small solace from the fact we're not a continental club however, some of their lax rules on sponsorship is downright ridiculous. Greek clubs, i'm looking at you.

wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I also love that shirt, yeah. Reminded me of the collared 04/05 one but with nicer material. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I don't mind sponsors on shirts, but I can't stand gambling sites on shirts. The damage that gambling has had on people in this country is huge. I think it is now in the top 3 addictions people are being treated for. Which to then have it shoved in everyones faces is disgusting. @Tom and @Denzel Zanzibar that the shirt that we had in Strachan's first full season? 10/11 season wasn't it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Greek clubs, i'm looking at you. Yeah that's the one. Little tip as well, if you didn't know. There's actually a second, round collar, so if you fold the large collar and tuck it inside, it looks like a different shirt, so you have the option. Link to post Share on other sites

Frustratingly it is so ingrained into football culture over here. Before games, during games, at halftime and at fulltime there are TV ads, billboards, ad hoardings at the stadiums they are everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites

Betting companies are heavily involved in sports, in fact it's their primary revenue stream and the whole point for them existing. Booze and fags aren't? Link to post Share on other sites

I had it in my head that it was a Mowbray season, but I have just done a bit of research and found a picture of Kris Boyd wearing it. I'd love for this Paddy Power idea to catch on.

I loved that shirt! I remember buying it, then we signed Boyd and I thought this is the shirt that we will be promoted in. How wrong I was. By October we had sacked Strachan and brought Mowbray in and Boyd was as useful as a chocolate fireguard! I also loved our 14/15 shirt but that did have the huge ramsdens sponsor across the middle!

SmogDane 4,052 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Actually it is BRILLIANT marketing by Paddy Power - You got to respect that... They put NO logo on Town's shirts and ppl all across the world talks MORE about Huddersfield and Paddy Power than other clubs with other sponsors ON the kits ? Link to post Share on other sites
