Indian gift card scammers will be happy for the free exposure.

Hope we can get some sleeve sponsors like Google Play Store too.

Hope the people that complained to death about Chevrolet are happy?
Why? Would you rather eat shit from person A or person B? Neither? Well, there's no pleasing you!

I think we will see this in all white.

The guys who hate the Gold of the Chevy logo will like that it will all be in one block colour, white or black.

The people saying it’s not as good as the Chevy deal have to remember the guy who struck that deal on their end was sacked for it due to it being so generous to us. :lol:

Not as bad as initially thought but I doubt it'll be this small.

It has a logo on the shirt in official image so I would assume it would look something like that.

Overall this feels very underwhelming. But undoubtedly there is a plan here to bring Manchester United content to TeamViewers users and the club may have opted to take less money and trade it to what is potentially absolutely wild exposure.

People who cry about the financial implications will have to wait and see what happens in the coming year. I think there surely is something to be done to make up for any lost revenue in this particular deal otherwise Glazers would more than likely look to sell.

Not sure what the issue is, a 5 year deal allowing us to get another deal in short term, with a global brand who's recent financial health was immense.
Win win.

It's an absolutely horrid logo so let's hope it's at least worth a ton on money.

Good God the shirts are gonna be so bad.

Well if we get a new automobile partner and a new training kit sponsor, that should push income back up to the numbers in the Chevy deal?

I don't know how much training kit sponsorships go for these days. Probably a fiver.

Anyone else feel like this is almost certainly with a mind towards eventually selling the rights to all our matches vs some sort of app on people's phones? Or a 'seperate' subscription service on TV to rival Netflix/Disney/Amazon/whoever?

I keep telling fellow reds that even Manchester City's money will eventually be dwarfed by ours again if (if) we ever go down some sort of route allowing us to sell all our matches via a subscription service. At last count we have about 300million 'fans' worldwide. If even half of that number paid £1 a month, we'd have £150Million quid a month of basically easy profit. Amazon getting football rights was the beginning, I think. This is stage 2.

And it's £30 a month for a sky sports subscription. We could easily undercut that. I'd happily pay £5-£10 a month for all Man Utd games. I reckon that time is fast approaching.
Eventually the Premier League will, as a group, decide selling its rights to TV stations makes no sense and pursue a global distribution deal either with a partner or with its own subscription app. Its the way the world is going with Disney+ and the like. Content producers, which Premier League clubs are business wise, are incresingly cutting out the middleman.

It's aesthetics. Also the spectrum of brands is a spectrum of least undignified to most undignified. No logo would obviously be preferable.

It looks well cheap.
It's a football Jersey mate, it's meant to be worn by kids. Not on the steps of Cannes.

Means we can now have a separate automobile sponsor too

Those deals are worth at most £3-£5m per annum. Look at the flip side, we will be restricted from getting a technology partner in the same field as team viewer and with remote working now soaring, we’d have probably made more than £3-£5m per annum from it. Whichever way the club spins it, it’s the first time we’ve had a drop in shirt sponsor value, even with the AIG to AON switch during the financial crash, there was a 42% increase in the value of the new deal.

The away kit is going to be partially blue, a spin on the iconic away kit from the early 90s.
That was heavily rumoured yesterday with pics circulating.
Our Away and Third kits next season are mainly blue.

They must have had this sponsor in mind.
Probably a trade-off with them for them not getting to put their full colour logo on our home shirt. (Least that's what I'd hope... though to be fair i'm not sure why they'd want to anyway, it would look really shit.)

Yeah it's not great. Should have tried make a 2 year deal if we where stuck.

It's not about where people wear their shirts, or what age they are, to me it's about the players wearing something befitting the club. Hence, no logo would be great, but with commercials on the shirt it can be bearable to awful. This looks shit. Could be worse.

Can't beleive we have grown men arguing about what would look good in a football Jersey liek any of them are ever remotely fashionable anyway.
There are huge numbers of people who feel exactly the opposite.

No, it's meant to be worn by footballers. And there is a huge design and fashion following with football kits just like any other type of sportswear. It doesn't matter whether you personally don't think it's worthy of comment, although ironically you're here commenting about it.

https://www.sportspromedia.com/analysis/premier-league-2020-21-guide-club-sponsor-tv-rights-deals

Liverpool got one for £20M, our deal with AON was worth £22.5M per season including training ground and that was from 2013 expiring this year. So new training kit sponsor would basically be replacing the current training kit sponsor.

The car sponsor will be where the new source of revenue is coming from, though we do have to remember the person who negotiated the Chevrolet deal left shortly after and we are in the midst of a pandemic as well as our downturn in success so was never going to get the Chevrolet kit numbers.

There is nothing wrong. Every time a kit sponsor comes in, people say it is hideous and unfitting for our club.
