Sweetchuck Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Redweb says record breaking deal. Lowest sponsorship amount ever? Most unimpressive sponsor ever? Highest 'who the fuck' rating ever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunk Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 You're right. JIMMY MUST GO SACK THE BOARD IM NEVER GOING BACK No, no, no. Just; THAT'S A SHIT STRIP AND A RUBBISH SPONSOR. Ah fuck it, it's red I suppose, and as long as that was the best offer of money going then I suppose it'll have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstar Tradesman Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 ".....the letters should be this, the colours should be that, the horizontal stripes make you look fat......" It's like an afternoon watching Lose Women on here. Bunch of miserable bastards! I think it looks the dogs bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DandiesOnTour Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Do people actually care what the strip looks like and who the sponsor is?? Baffling. As long as it's red and white who really gives a fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgowdon Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 That is honking. Why did they not fill in the stars on the home strip? I'll need to see if I warm to it before I buy it. I probably will anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, I care because the better it looks, the more they sell, and therefore the more money the club gets. Also, a higher profile sponsor can mean more media and market exposure - and also potentially more sales, and therefore the more money the club gets. Still baffled?

Penfold Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 I wonder if the players who are modeling this kit will go the same way as last years' http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/ad/fa/0,,10284~3275437,00.jpg[/img] We can hope.

Microsoft, Pepsi or Porsche could sponsor us but we'll still only get 5 minutes at the end of Sportscene(?) every Monday around midnight. Not sure how their world wide exposure would get us any more cash down Pittodrie St. Surely companies bid to become the team sponsor and the highest bidder wins? A huge company wouldn't necessarily put in double what the next highest bidder put in, they'd just need to put in more. TR obviously offered the most and it's a "record deal". Yet folk are still not happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest swaddon Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'm happy with it. Like I said before, they could play in red coal sacks and I wouldn't mind, it's what they do on the field that matters, not what they're wearing. It's the SPL, not What Not To Wear.

Ok the company itself may not do more to promote the club, but it may stick in the head more of people who see the top, and subsequently more attention may be brought upon the club. It may be bollocks, but that's my theory. I still think the point about the better it looks being directly associated to the number we sell being valid though.

It may be bollocks, but that's my theory. Like I said before and someone else mentioned, nobody ever gives a supporter stick over their sponsors nor I can't even remember what any sponsors were for last season. I very much doubt anyone ever sold many shirts off the back of a company branding being plastered on the front of it. I still think the point about the better it looks being directly associated to the number we sell being valid though. I'll agree with you there but I'd say by the time the start of the season rolls around, most will have warmed to it or bought it regardless. Most people will buy the top to stick money in the coffers of the team and so they can wear their colours on matchday or at 5s. Nobody will be buying it as a fashion accessory a la Glasgow.

Guest Robo Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 At the end of the day, it's a football strip...........no point crying over it. Some of you are pretty ridiculous and sound like women (no offence to any ladies on the site) as that's what they do regarding clothes, have a right good moan about it. It's a football strip, why are you caring about the strip..........ITS THE PERFORMANCES ON THE PARK THAT SHOULD MATTER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Connors Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think the kit looks shit, but most of them usually do. If they'd made a bit more effort to make it look better, they might have got £40 from more people, so I think that's the bottom line that folk are getting at. As long as the kids like it I guess that's the most important thing in terms of the target market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minijc Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Is it just me or does most things the club wants to do lack imagination? Two shirts the exact same apart from the colours, we should try add in a different edge to one or the other, it is boring. Also the away shirt looks like a shirt and looks affa silly with the red sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
