Just seen a pic of Swansea shirt with a tasteful looking Mod style bullseye target next to the betting sponsors name, would have much preferred that on ours.

Did they get paid the same amount?

It's Bet UK
Airforce R-W & Blue Classic "Target".

I thought the same...
Better than our spon's logo.
Regardless of cash it looks better and if we have to have a betting company... (

which I'd rather we did not) ...

Just googled Swansea’s kit. Their sponsor’s logo is hideous. Far worse than ours.

Which particular bit is hideous?

The blue, white and red target bears no relation to the club’s colours, it would look even worse on a claret shirt. The black background to the logo looks extremely cheap and tacky. Again, it would look shocking on a claret shirt.

Our sponsor’s logo isn’t the best but at least it’s been adapted to suit the club’s colours. It’s subjective but I struggle to see how anyone thinks that logo would look even half decent on our shirt.

It’s black on their orange away kit too so I presume so. It’s horrible, can’t believe anyone thinks that would look good on our shirt.

It's black because the Swans wanted it black maybe?
The Bet UK logo is not so. Never has been.

Navy blue would be equally poor. That logo would look terrible on a claret and blue shirt.

You are not grasping this are you?

- the logo design can get designed to fit the shirt / team / club - while retaining the core comp logo etc etc etc.

eg this Celtic

Jeeze it's not hard...

I get it perfectly well, I just disagree with you. I think sponsors which have a solid background with text above look shocking - as they do on the Swansea shirts. It looks cheap and tacky. I’m fully aware that the colours can be modified somewhat to suit the club’s colours but how would that work on our shirt? The black background could be substituted for our light blue but then the white text wouldn’t be readable.

Then there’s the issue of the red, white and blue target which sticks out like a sore thumb and clearly isn’t adaptable to the club’s colour scheme. Like I say, it’s a hideous sponsor and I’m surprised anyone would like to see that on our shirts.

totally agree.

It could look a bit UKIP on a BFC shirt, (you do know I'm joking - I hate betting being advertised / normalised)
