United in talks with Tinder for £12m sleeve sponsorship | Tinder team up with City instead

[Robertd0803]

Anyone done a mock-up of the jersey with a sleeve sponsor to see how shit it looks?

I tend to live in United jerseys so really really do not want my normal everyday attire to have a logo on the sleeves or look like some tacky jersey from France/Spain that has a sponsor on every available inch of the jersey.

If you are going to get outraged, then try and be informed.

Nike doesn't use child labour. They definitely fell foul of this in the past - in the 1980s they had the view that since they didn't own any factories, then it was not their responsibility. The protests thankfully worked and Nike is now seen as one of the most transparent organizations with regard to fair use of labour. For years all companies kept the list of factories that they worked with secret. Nike was the first to publicly list every factory that is has contracts with.

From what I recall, the minimum age for workers in a footwear factory is 18 and it is 16 for an apparel factory.

I am aware my reference is old but the point remains the same. Switch Nike for Apple or whatever if it helps you feel better.

Also, swoosh, swoosh swoosh my balls

If you're wearing a football shirt as everyday clothing I don't think it's a sponsor that's making you look tacky.

 

[RedDevil@84]

Are people really arguing about the morality of having that logo?? I thought it was all about how cringe worthy the logo on the jersey would be..

Wonderful insight there. Im not the only one that does this so we must all look tacky then. I spend enough on the jerseys so Im going to wear them and thankfully don't need to wear a stupid uniform at work.

I agree, I don't want any bloody logo on the sleeves.

 

[Sir A1ex]

This is my worry. I won't mind a sleeve sponsor at all but I want to know that it stops there.

Such a guarantee is literally impossible

I think we're going a bit too far with these deals. Next thing you know, we'll be partnering with the Royal Family for £5 mil a year.

Just realised that City/liverpool have sleeve sponsors...why haven't we got one?

Woodward is probably working on getting a world record sleeve sponsorship.

Makes sense from a business POV to get a measure of what sponsors are willing to pay lesser teams first.

Slightly miffed that we are behind on this.

You wont be when we get a £70m annual income per letter for our sleeves

Everton have signed a sleeve sponsorship deal with 'Angry Birds' and it will debut on their shirts at Old Trafford today.

Their fans are losing it because the main angry bird is red

Tinder would be no more embarrassing that this.

You'd have thought Rooney was hoping to use football to get away from angry birds.

Drunk ones, anyway.

The wife is probably the angry bird

We havent signed on as I bet we are trying to find a better company than Tinder.

 

[Schmiznurf]

We should see if Grindr are willing to sponsor us, at least we'll be promoting what football is about anyway, men playing with balls.

Amazing.

Lakakus new chant coupled with that logo... Classy!

85 year old United season ticket holder goes to the match, sees Tinder on the sleeves so decides to use the phone his great-grandson gave him as a hand me down to investigate.

Don't be surprised to see a load of widows and widowers and Bob from down the Nags popping up on your screen sometime soon I can only imagine the rise in users who've never heard of Tinder and it's hilarious.

 

[Lj82]

It's hilarious to see Rooney in a Everton shirt with the words angry Bird on it

He must be proud having his wife as the shirt sponsor.

 

[sun_tzu]

Finally, a sponsorship that Martial can be the face of.

Bring back giggs

 

[VeevaVee]

Doesn't look the worst in that mockup. Angry Birds looks pretty bad though. Bring back Sharp la etc

 

[FromTheBench]

We are probably gonna get more than 12 million, imo.

Wonder when it gets finalized.

 

[prateik]

Still not done. Woody is a hard bastard. Who ever we get, it will be for a lot of money.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Holding out for Grindr

It's really strange that we haven't announced anybody yet. Maybe we aren't too fussed about it? Going to make a big announcement when time is right or are struggling to get what we want? Think that is most of the bases covered.

Richard Arnold (United one - not the ITV presenter) did a presentation a while ago about us taking our time with stuff like social media so we know how the competition does and how best to approach it when we do enter the market like we did with YouTube. I assume it is the case with shirt sponsor. We're seeing what deals the other teams do then can try and gazump them.

That would be sensible. Glad we haven't gone with Tinder. Would prefer someone who will pay us a lot of money, but is classy.

True, I think in the summer we'll probably announce a big deal with someone.

Would say we dodged a bullet there, because besides the morality of it, who wants to have Tinder or a Tinder logo on their shirt.
What is actually more concerning (if true) that sponsor are starting to snub Man Utd for City.

Did we get snubbed?
