They will see the season out.

You can’t change sponsors during the season unless the company folds or something.

There was one in the 90s where we changed from McEwans to Brown Ale or something after the kits launched and they were giving out iron on blue stars to people who already bought them

Didn’t Virgin Money buy them out when they hit financial problems?


Yeah so effectively was a rebrand of an existing sponsor.

 

Not sure the Saudis will like a Chinese betting on the shirt but I don’t think there is really a way around.

It was from Greenalls to the breweries Blue Star when John Hall (magpie group) took over, on the umbro barcode shirts, and aye, it was a patch with the blue star and a black band behind it to hide the 'Greenalls'.

Wonder what our next sponsor may be? Thought it would've been Aramco but given we're part of that Vision 2030 that the Saudis have implemented which is driven by diversifying their economy away from oil, might be Saudia Air or something like that.

I think they're looking to start a new national airline so it could be that.

Yeah, it came on a rectangular patch and you had to cut it out with a pair of scissors. My Mam spent ages hand stitching it on to my shirt but it looked shit so I ended up unpicking it after a couple of weeks.

My mam used wundaweb to stick it on my brother’s shirt.  Lasted about two washes :lol:

I wonder what the consortiums thoughts are on the Castore deal...

 

Happy with it or keen to fuck it off to Nike or someone as soon as they can? 

 

I can see us having a whole heap of classic, streetwear, and retro kits to come out.

I reckon the castore deal was meant to coincide with the takeover tbh.

 

They made a statement at the start about a new era which felt a bit odd, considering it was the same shit at the time.

Not the same thing but-

We changed sponsor between 99/00 and 00/01 when home kits were every two years, so we had the same kit but with different sponsor - Brown Ale to NTL.

How is the quality of Castore by the way? Same or better than Puma? Design wise, they can get better of course, hopefully with input from the new owners or even fans. So yes they can remain in place.

 

But, I'd imagine big names like adidas, Nike, and heck even Puma again might want to be associated with us. The Castore deal would be peanuts to buy out and end. 

 

Shirt sponsors will definitely be Saudi related. That Manc Prof.Chadwick said the rumoured new Saudi airline or new sports broadcasting company they were planning to start might be what the Saudis want to display on our shirts. Even Vision 2030 or something like that Neom City is possible.

 

I'm glad the owership is not 100% Saudi. If not, could have imagined some weird and awful looking sponsors. Having PCP and the Reubens 'might' help to persuade them to have less or a balanced appearance on shirts and advertisements.
