Kevin W. Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The new away shirt for Dave Whelan's Wigan...I really wish that FIFA would just prohibit gambling sites from appearing as shirt sponsors. It really tends to cast a cloud over the game.

It really tends to cast a cloud over the game.In Germany it actually is forbidden. Even when a team, that got a gambling shirt sponsor, plays a CL game in Germany they have to play without the sponsor on the shirt. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yep, when we played in the Premier League's Asia Trophy a few years back, we had to play in plain shirts as our sponsor at the time was a bookie and displaying such a logo was against the rules in China. Actually, I think the two other English clubs also had gambling-based sponsors so one went plain as well and the other slapped a charity logo on.

lost_limey Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Well, my beloved Oxford United are going to have two different sponsors, one at home, one away. The home sponsor is something called Animalates and has a colour scheme that doesn't work with the yellow/goldenrod shirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, a good one can make it better. I remember getting an Ansenal jersey years ago simply because I liked the o2 on the front.

lost_limey Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yeah, a sponsor logo can make or break a kit. Back when Newcastle Brown Ale sponsored Newcastle United, I seriously considered breaking my "only buy merchandise for teams I support" rule for the barcodes.

-kj Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 A Newcastle shirt with Newcastle sponsorship was a holy grail for me for a while. I got one... and then I got too big for it. So I gave it to my roommate who supports them. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Jaffa Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The versions that just sported the brewery's blue star - no other bits of the logo - were the best.Another sponsor/shirt combo that I always thought looked good was the ABN AMRO branded Ajax shirts, where the bank's logo ran down the edge of the shirt's red strip rather than across it...

Even when a team, that got a gambling shirt sponsor, plays a CL game in Germany they have to play without the sponsor on the shirt.I don't think FIFA would get involved in that kind of issue. What's clear is that as belts are tightened, football clubs in the UK are getting less and less principled abou sponsorship deals, what with the plethora of short term loan companies, gambling sites and so on advertising their wares on the front of football shirts. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'm not sure it's "less principled", unless they used to turn down those types of potential sponsors. I think it's more a function of those companies now being willing to pay huge dollars for the ads. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
