Just want a sponsor that just has white writing like Sharpe and Aon. Chevrolet would have been decent if they didn’t put that ugly gold badge on it.

Watch Ed do all nighters trying to tie up a sponsorship deal. He'll probably spend the entire transfer window on it and we'll end up buying no players :lol:

I was going to suggest Epic, with bruno and rashford making appearances in Fortnite. Turns out they've just announced neymar is about to appear for a short time...

I don’t like this modern development.

They’re our kit manufacturer, not our sponsors. The sponsor is Sharp/Vodafone/AIG/Aon/Chevrolet/etc.

Boo I say!
Our kit manufacturers have changed our club crest in the past, and adidas even put a pair of Adidas football boots onto it for a number of seasons. Imagine how that would go down these days.

I'm going to have to get my old United tops out...but I'm sure they were just any old football boots and not specifically adidas boots. The newish adidas originals have the boots with the stripes, though (on the crest...).

Why's everyone speculating on Chinese companies starting with H? I thought the rumour mill is an American software company? :confused:

I don't know the Chevy logo with the gold looked great, really set the kits off over the last 6-7 years. I think most will miss it when it's gone. The new sponsor is rumoured to be a company starting with H. Not sure what colour their logo is but with any luck it might be something similar to this.

Umm no, I'd wager that most wouldn't miss the Chevvy logo. And I would stay far away from that huge gold H logo as well. :houllier::lol: We just want something simple and minimalistic.

To be honest, Glazers would accept ISIS as a shirt sponsor if they paid enough money.

That's the thing though, they won't know they miss it until it's gone. :lol:

Did you know - the symbols on the ISIS flag are sacred to all Muslims?

The words across the top are a declaration of faith and probably the first thing any Muslim learns about thier religion.

The second symbol is the seal of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Traditionally it has only ever been used by the Caliphs.

Dickhead isis have unfortunately associated these symbols with themselves and unfortunately I don't think enough has been said to clarify that they belong to Islam not to isis.

Also I quite like the zebra shirt (in its current form, not your edit).

Its a shame that an honourable religion gets hijacked by a bunch of idiots.

Don't even think Hubspot can afford what it'd cost tbh. Their revenues in 2020 were $883 million. Would they spend nearly 10% of that on a shirt logo sponsorship?

To put in perspective here's some revenues of other companies:
  • Salesforce - $17.1 B
  • Chevrolet - $122.49 B
  • Amazon - $386.1 B
Is that salesforce the CRM software?!

I have never been bothered by the sponsor/how the logo looks when buying shirts.
Keane was my first ever football shirt. Bought Ronaldo in 2007 (wanted to buy Rooney but knew Ronaldo won’t stick around that long so better buy his first), bought Rooney CL Kit in 2008. Was shocked when I had to pay on top for the numbers and then again on top for the names. Bought Chicarito 19 when we won No 19! Decided not to buy a shirt again as I had already spent so much money on them. But still bought RvP 20!
I now feel too old to buy kits but if I did Rashford would be next. Never considered buying or not buying them because of the logo.

I never understood why many fans disliked the Chevy logo. The white, silver and gold elements always complimented our badge.

They'll be wanting this sponsor back when a company wants to display their big and ugly, green or orange logo.

Nope. It's horrific. It's not just the gold colour, although that's gaudy and clashing enough. It's the fact it's rendered as a sort of 3D object with the metallic effect. Doesn't work at all on football shirts which are simple, block-colour, limited-palette designs.

No other big PL clubs have something so obviously unsuited to their shirt design. Most have a simple word or logo in the accent colour of the shirt. Spurs have AIA in a contrasting red but even that isn't so bad.

As many have been saying ever since we first saw it, there's nothing wrong with the Chevy logo in and of itself, but to look respectable it needed to be rendered as a flat simple shape in the shirt's accent colour.

Its going to be a Chinese brand with global aspirations but not perceived as a threat - Haier fits the bill.
