BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 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? https://www.mancity.com/news/club-news/2017/03/17/manchester-city-and-nexen-tire-announce-first-premier-league-shirt-sleeve-partnership/1489758525960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyBlue96 990 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 LOL. This is starting to become the next hype now. Al tough PSG and Barca already had this. Billboard FC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 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.

Kezza 1,965 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 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 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/brazilian-team-shirt-numbers-supermarket-prices-a7671991.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
