The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 They are already prominent brand name, there is no incentive for them to sponsor.That's true, but Samsung themselves are also pretty prominent. We're a prominent club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polo7 3,496 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Tesco should be our new sponsor. Every little helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripamaru 8 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I would be saddened to lose Samsung for some ugly looking sponsor shirt. Right now ours is good looking. The past couple years Man U had that terrible shirt and this year the Chevy logo looks great. As a side note, you have to be a prominent brand to sponsor one of the major clubs. Now maybe for a Burnley it can be a smaller company trying to get noticed but to get on the front of one of the big boys you have to have a very deep advertising budget. We Americans are not at all used to the idea of sponsors on jerseys. Only the poor minor sports resort to that here like Arena Football. All of our major sports have never used this and I don't see that changing any time soon. As trivial as it may seem I believe that this doesn't help endear American fans to club football. We are barely used to stadium sponsors and most dislike that greatly and in a lot of cases refuse to call the stadium by the sponsors name.

Ripamaru 8 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 People all have different views on what a good shirt looks like. I have heated discussions with Kentucky basketball fans over this regularly. Nobody can agree on anything. I personally think the Chevy logo looks sharp. Even the dark blue they wore yesterday looked very good to me. Can someone answer a question for me? As an American fan I am used to teams using consistent colours on their uniforms. They might change a bit in shade or get an update every few years to some degree. But what is with the club football tradition of massive changes in road/3rd kits on a seemingly annual basis? In all American sport the teams road jerseys may be white or coloured depending on the sport (Basketball uses white at home for some stupid reason). But even at that they always incorporate the main colours in there. Like the 49ers use a red/gold at home and a white with red/gold accent on the road. You would never see a blue/white home set and a bright yellow road set. The only non team colour ever used is white here....Just looks odd to me and when I play FIFA it makes me want to use the home kit every game.

Ripamaru 8 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think Audi as a sponsor on our shirts would look greatI can agree with that....Mercedes has always been my favourite logo but I am not sure how that would do on a shirt. Have to see it photoshopped on first. Probably would look better spelled out with a smaller logo than just the giant one.I have a real interest in seeing Samsung stick around as long as possible. They are wiping Apple off the map. I only use Samsung smartphones (Note series) and they are the best in the world IMO. I would hate to see us associated with Apple as they represent all that is evil and wrong to me. They have this level of arrogance that is offputting, they have up til now refused to allow users to do any customizing, they heavily restrict apps available to users. You cant watch virtually any streaming content on their devices, they have stuck to the tiny cookie cutter model and are just now starting to wake up after having their market share wiped in half by Samsung. I am happy we are associated with the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,891 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 They are already prominent brand name, there is no incentive for them to sponsor.Apple are like no other brand.. ever; the only thing they really sponsor is a music festival. There is nothing special about Samsung, however.. Apple is like a cult; sponsorship would be a double edged sword for them. Both are 'prominent bands' as you said, but not for the same reasons.

Fernando 6,586 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I would like to have Google as sponsored. Just letters like Samsung so it won't be that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
