Classic Football Shirts
Classic Football Shirts
They've confirmed on social media that they won't be next season's shirt sponsor. Really hope we don't go down the usual bookies route, but needs must I suppose. Although, I wouldn't be surprised to see TikTok or someone like that (genuinely have no idea if they could compete with the bookies, but you'd imagine so).

Shame....we were a winning Combination.

Re: Classic Football Shirts
Trouble is, until gambling firms are gone altogether they will always be the best payers.
Think we had the lowest revenue in the Prem
In our final season by some distance. If we want to compete we have to take the best deals available.
BK8 would t shock me.

Surprised they can't afford it considering how much they charge for some shirts.

Re: Classic Football Shirts
That's a shame.
Best shirt, best sponsors ever..... well, apart from the seventies shirt with the BFC script and no sponsor.

Best shirt sponsor ever must have been Rochdale. All in One Garden Centre with a watering can on the front of the shirt. Brilliant

Re: Classic Football Shirts
Initials for Potteries Motor Traction on Port Vale’s shirts in 83/84 were a tad unfortunate…..
Re: Classic Football Shirts
I’d have B&H on the front, Porn Hub on a sleeve and Ladbrokes on the back if it meant that we could help to fund the transfers that Kompany wants.
It’s a sorry state of affairs but until the blanket ban on bookies advertising on shirts comes in, it’s a bed that we have to lay in unless by some miracle Pace can find a better option.
Personally, I’d sooner see a ban on the TV, Radio and LED hoarding adverts for gambling companies, than I would on shirts.
Whoever we get, I just hope it’s not some sprawling, ugly logo that stands out like a sore thumb.

Re: Classic Football Shirts
Classic Football Shirts have definitely had excellent value for money this season and must be extremely happy with the unbelievable exposure and the way the season went. It's a shame it's not continuing because it was brilliant to buck the gambling trend.

When that happens, all clubs will have to take lower sponsorship so relatively we wouldn’t be disadvantaged.

Maybe JJ Watt will be using his contacts/influence in the States to help bring in sponsors?

Re: Classic Football Shirts
I suggested social media helping to improve the teams image would help to bring in different/international sponsors and that got mocked by some on here, they couldn't grasp the importance of social media and potential sponsors noticing what's going on.Jakubs Tash wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 10:51 pmMaybe JJ Watt will be using his contacts/influence in the States to help bring in sponsors?

Getting them to buy into the global BFC brand is a waste of time. It’s a local club for local people!
Re: Classic Football Shirts
I’m not quite an old boy yet but getting there, however it’s a little patronising to say old boys don’t understand tik tok.

Re: Classic Football Shirts
If we are looking for a top tier global brand (as we should be) then they will look at the overall reach and exposure they will get with their shirt sponsorship.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Tue May 16, 2023 10:55 pmI suggested social media helping to improve the teams image would help to bring in different/international sponsors and that got mocked by some on here, they couldn't grasp the importance of social media and potential sponsors noticing what's going on.

The global tv reach of the Premier League is the main attraction for those kind of brands. You get on Sky Sports, you get on USA and NBC, you get on popular sports television networks around the world.
Having a big social media reach can also help. But we don't have that so it will make very little impact on those kind of companies.
And while JJ Watt also adds to the positive vibe around the club and its brand - ultimately he isn't going to have a massive sway on those kind of companies.

I wish them all the best for next season. They'll do another northern team I suspect - (hopefully not Bastards)
Re: Classic Football Shirts
It's generally only the lower level teams in the premier league that have gambling sponsors. The big teams are out of their budget.

Re: Classic Football Shirts
But surely there are more than half a dozen big brands out there?
Airlines.. BA, American Airlines, United Airlines, Singapore, Cathay Pacific, Qatar & Qantas. All fly into and out of the U.K.
There are big companies in lots of sectors. Or is it just to easy to click your fingers at the gambling industry, and another unheard of crawls out of the woodwork waving a cheque.

I’m surprised nobody else has mentioned this but doesn’t Alan Pace dislike having a betting firm as our sponsor? I seem to remember him saying he’d review that when he first came to the club.

Re: Classic Football Shirts
Looking for a blue chip sponsor is difficult, football clubs can be divisive so they would want reach as well as reputational security.
I have been surprised our owners have not been able to bring in a sponsor from the USA, there are a number of internationally renowned companies who HQ in Salt Lake for example.
Unfortunately we have to follow the money so it will probably be a gambling firm.

If it is a betting firm that offers the best sponsorship deal hopefully the club takes it.

Re: Classic Football Shirts
Yes, it does surprise me really that with so much interest around the world in the PL that we can’t attract bigger sponsors/brands. Even if you assume that mass worldwide audiences only take an interest in the top 6, we play them 12 times so that’s great exposure to their brand for 90 minutes a go.RammyClaret61 wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 7:18 amBut surely there are more than half a dozen big brands out there?

I’d love to see us partner with a big brand over a multi-year contract but only the really big boys seem to get those deals for whatever reason. I’m no expert but imagine it’s probably to do with companies reducing above the line marketing spend in favour of below the line.
If an airline sponsors us for £5m say (£2.5m less than LoveBet) there’s no guarantees they’ll sell £6m more tickets, or any at all in fact, so the benefit is immeasurable.
Different for a start-up betting brand where you have to build a brand presence.
Re: Classic Football Shirts
Are these betting companies legit. From what I've seen, they don't seem right. You never seem to see them advertised on tv in the UK or have the capacity to use these companies in the UK.
Is it a case of them sponsoring Premier league clubs purely for advertising for non UK customers?

Re: Classic Football Shirts
Shame because it was a great sponsor, as far as sponsors go.
My all-time favourite shirt is the 2000/01 shirt without a sponsor. If I'm ever a multi-millionaire i might well sponsor us to have nothing on our shirts for a year.

Re: Classic Football Shirts
I suggested a while ago we would move back to a betting company when we go up. Some on here were very confident that Pace wouldnt allow that to happen, given his faiths objections to gambling.
I suppose the paid trip to Vegas probably put that to bed

I was looking to buy one at half price! It seems the new owners upgrade of our exposure, has put an end to that. It will just form part of the shirt offering, at full price.

Hasn't Pace already committed to betting firm sponsorship since becoming chairman? I'm sure he has.

Re: Classic Football Shirts
he did - also said it the spread:EX deal was similar in value to the LoveBet £7.5m deal that collapsed during covid - though the sponsor stayed with us in a smaller deal in the Championship
The 2022 accounts suggest is wasn't unless all the deals incorporated a significant bonus for retaining Premier League status - I say this because we know that the adverts on all those LED screens were not given away for free - I cannot be the only one disappointed by the poor performance of the commercial income side in the last accounts - hopefully things will be much more positive on that front going forward
