Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 That truly appalling betting sponsorship is no more than God. The shirts yesterday carried a logo which is obviously some sort of interim measure and it was a statement rather than anything to offer financial benefit. Is there anything in the pipeline? Fwiw if its an outside business there is no way we will carry a betting sponsorship again. LazloW and whiteroseram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably guess it will be another betting company, as they tend to offer the most money and due to our business plan, we’re in no position to leave money on the table.

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) I'll be honest (last season the exception as I bought a blank one), the only shirts I've got from the sponsorship era are ones where I've 'liked' the main shirt sponsor. British Midland, Bass, Auto Windscreens, Puma, EDS, Pedigree, The Derbyshire, Bombardier and Avon Tyres... and I'll be bidding for one of the ones used yesterday when they come up for auction too!

Mucker1884 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I'll be happy if: A/ I like the shirt enough to fork out for one. B/ We retain the option to purchase without the sponsor logo. I've limited myself to various training shirts over the past decade or so, in place of actual replicas, as one or both of the above haven't applied. I think in general, rather than having a dislike of a specific sponsor, most sponsor logo's are just too "in yer face" for my liking... and yes of course I understand why they make them so "stand out"! I'm not one for general tee shirts with logos/motifs/designs etc, tbf. Kathcairns, ColonelBlimp, RadioactiveWaste and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I dont really care too much about the sponsorship, its not a deciding factor if i like/buy a kit or not. Whichever sponsor gives the club the most money will do me. A betting company doesnt make me bet more, a food company doesnt make me eat more & a bank doesnt make me want to move banks LazloW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I fully understand why people dont like it, but at the same time imo if someone is going to do something they will do it rather than be too influenced by a shirt sponsor. The way it influences me for example is if it brings any offers, for example if its Just Eat i would be more likely use that app over Deliveroo if I was getting a bigger discount...either way I would have been ordering a takeaway though Edited July 10, 2022 by DCFC1388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Ipswich are sponsored by Ed Sheeran, so clearly anything goes. Now what was that about your love for Derby County, Mr Clooney? ...we'll probably end up with Martin Clunes.

Im not saying in general in makes no difference, it makes people more aware of them as a brand. So for 32red for example, if someone was going to have a bet they would maybe go to 32red to do it, but they were going to put a bet on anyway. With justeat, if you was getting a takeaway it might just mean you go to them instead of UberEats, either way you was getting a takeaway. For the record, this is my opinion only & i fully understand why people think differently. Edited July 10, 2022 by DCFC1388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
