I wish we could pay more for shirts without sponsors. I’ll be continuing not to buy anything with FBS on it. I won’t be a human billboard for a petrochem company either. Nor will my child.

I share no such morals. My son is walking around with Bia Saigon on his arm… it’s kind of a double **** you to the club as it’s clearly a fake kit 😂

Totally agree. The players are paid to wear the sponsor - we aren’t. We pay to buy the shirt, so it should be ad free, or cheaper if you want to accept advertising on it.


better regulation on shirt sponsors would help with this too. I don’t think many would begrudge a charity/nfp/good cause on their shirt. Why not have a separate sponsor for the fan shirts?

Completely wrong 

 

 

The players aren't paid to wear the sponsor, they are paid to wear a uniform, the sponsor pays to have their logo on the uniform and all the replica uniforms sold. 

 

If anything, if you wanted a a shirt with no sponsor then you'd be expected to pay more as you'd need to cover the shortfall if any sponsor would agree to a deal in which we could sell them without their logo on the front, which I imagine would involve a fee far less than any sponsor of any team pays now

Will not buy a shirt with gambling/alcohol or petrochemical companies on it 

 

Will not let my children wear it either 

 

I want my club to have the highest standards possible 

 

And this sponsor is a massive massive betrayal of the moral fibre of the fan group

So you think these prices are subsidised

Football and morals don’t exist. If you want to compete or in some cases survive, you have to dance with the devil. There’s not a lot in the modern world that is 100% clean.

Clubs that chose betting/merky companies/monopolies as the sponsor should at least offer the kids and baby kits with a sponsor free kits.

They shouldn't have a choice on the betting companies, government should step in and create legalisation against it.

I thought it was already the norm. Or is that just with alcohol?

Didn't say that did I? It was in response to players being paid to wear the sponsor, not entirely true is it? The sponsor pays to have their logo splashed over the middle of the shirt, if we want shirts with no sponsor available to fans then sponsors will pay less as part of the deal, so it's not impossible if that were to ever be the case, then you'd pay even more for a replica shirt because sponsors aren't paying as much into the club

Alcohol advertising is not allowed on shirt fronts anymore (so I believe). Betting companies tend not to be on kids shirts (West Ham have sponsorless kids shirts). FBS is an investment platform and not a betting firm.

If you don't advertise to them how can they learn to drink responsibly?

The players wages come at least in part from the sponsorships, as a core element of the clubs turnover, do they not? It’s ridiculous to think the paltry number of fan shirts a club like Leicester city shifts is worth much compared to the millions of eyeballs from the players wearing it on TV. 
 

But fine, the kit _might_ need to be more expensive (assuming we still want to be creating multi millionaires out of blokes who kick a ball around, while 3 million kids in this country live in poverty). Even so, I was actually agreeing with an earlier poster who said we should have access to ad free kits *even if they were more expensive*! :rolleyes:
 

As for why a piece of polyester should cost what it does, I can only speculate… :whistle:

Can we stop arguing about the morals of football and get back to mocking up kits that we’ve got no chance of having please.

 

Dear photoshop enthusiasts please mock me up an away kit that includes Rudkin as Christ the redeemer on the shirt and Topps Tiles as the main sponsor please.

Exactly this. Need a separate thread for Gary from SK2 to get on his soapbox about ethics of big business.

Is a new sponsor confirmed? Did I miss something?

It's a gambling platform 

 

Just betting on shares

Co Pilot wouldn't let me create this part but did mess around with this creation. Obviously I asked for blue purple and gold
