Sponsors on sleeves

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I heard about this just now.

City is first team in PL with new sponsor on sleeves, after FA changed the rules to allow it.

Personaly i think its awfull, kits will look much uglier now. 

But it will bring extra cash...

Any idea who we might have? Carabao?

Must be some kind of money in the tire business eh!

I never heard about this. It could make designs look ok or a pigs arse.

Is it so you get 2 sponsers or 2 places to advertise if wanted?

If you left the advertising off the front you could use one sleeve to make some rally nice design on it. But most logos are quite difficult to do much artwork with so it will prob be just the loge and name around the bottom under it eh.

Manchester United are reportedly closing in on a shirt-sleeve sponsorship deal worth £20m a season - four times more than rivals City's new sleeve deal.(Manchester Evening News via Mirror)

LOL. This is starting to become the next hype now. Al tough PSG and Barca already had this.  

 

Billboard FC's.

Sleeve sponsors look so ugly on football shirts, this isn't basketball. Gone are the days where every top-team had a classic, beautiful shirt like in 2006.

No.

If it brings in more money Im all for it.

If it brings money, so be it, but it looks very tacky!

We have no choice but to go along with it if other big clubs will or we will lag behind financially. Not sure how I feel about this, depending on how it will be implemented it might look okay. The one on City's looks okay, not too intrusive.

Prior to this season we had a big Barclays sign on the sleeves for 15 years, don't see why we can't implement another sponsor that will make us money.

At least we were like the club that uses their number to advertise price discounts for a super market

For the money side of things, great, for the look it's terrible! Especially the Carabao logo!
