topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 That new hibs shirt made me think... What brands have made you cringe when they’ve associated themselves with your club and which have been welcome? I used to think that the UNICEF logo n the Barca shirt was cool so I liked it when we got “Save the Children” almost as much as I hated “Wonga” on the jersey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder McDiarmid Park averaged 7500 in those days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Absolutely despised Taylor Wimpey the moment that monstrosity what put on a Saints top. They redeemed themselves by taking away the "egg" the next season, but it was too late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Pub League Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 You can trace the exact moment of Aberdeens decline, not to the departure of Fergie, to when they agreed to be sponsored by Northsound. Local fucking radio, just slightly above putting your own "charitable" foundation on the shirts in the minter stakes. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're doing the same thing now with "naming rights" to the Nou Camp. Seems it's never had an "official" name so they're gonna let a charity take the name for a year. Will be the Camp Bin Khalifa by 2023 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be the Camp Bin Khalifa by 2023I was going to point out that Catalans calling it “Camp Nou” (the new ground) six decades after its construction is a bit silly but then I remembered that I’m writing this not far from Edinburgh’s Georgian “New Town” so I’m in no position to judge 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 East Stirlingshire 1996/97, kindly sponsored by "The Angus Williamson Therapy Clinic" (free consultations following a 0-6 home defeat not included) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Scarborough FC, sponsored by Black Death vodka, 1990/91. Shirt banned by the FA before the start of the season on grounds of tastelessness / being inimical to sporting values (in the charming innocent days before mass shirt sponsorship by Chinese betting synidcates and money launderers) 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Rochdale AFC, sponsored in the late eighties by the All in One Garden Centre. Rochdale, poor as church mice, had to swallow their pride and be pimped out by Percy Thrower for a wee bit of extra cash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Depending on your taste in music: Best: Forth Wanderers were sponsored by Gun Worst: Clydebank and Wet Wet Wet, although they did shift a few strips to daft teenage lassies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent about 20 years thinking I was the only person who remembered it afore Google came along and helped me out by confirming he was indeed shot.

DA Baracus Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Think we've been lucky in our shirt sponsors. Can't think of any that were bad in the design. Couple were downright iconic, especially Landmark. Current one is good and nicely understated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
