AFL says yes to extra sponsorship spot on guernseys

[A Banderas]

Will this become a league wide thing ?

no this is not a joke. The afl have allowed st kilda to sell the manufacturers logo spot on their guernsey to add another sponsorship

the guernseys are made by isc but the spot where their logo would have been is now sold to Dare Ice coffee

another great decision by gill and the boyz

Looks terrible

Not at all tasteful. Walking billboards, NRL-esque.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

They should fold instead

 

[00Stinger]

seriously who gives a *?

 

[A Banderas]

seriously who gives a fu**?

personally I would like for the guernseys to stay the way they are instead of the players becoming walking billboards like the nrl players. but thats just me

 

[peternorth]

i remember the outrage when challenge banks logo and then mcdonalds were placed on the sherrin.

Tradition!!!!
Sacrosanct!!!!

Well here we are

 

[jwikked]

That's the spot where I spill my Dare when I miss my mouth

Where?

 

[And_ROOS]

Its going to end up a hot mess like the SANFL club jumpers...

 

[Gavin Excell]

That's supercoach favourite Billings on the left

Who's the other chap?

 

[FISTO]

Next thing you know players will be changing their names to popular pet food brands...

 

[parano1a]

It's not actually an additional sponsor ad when you think about it. Essentially Dare Iced Coffee has moved into guernsey manufacturing.

 

[basashi]

All we are waiting for now is the AFL to come out with rules that allow only some clubs to do this.

While Eddie refuses to have an away jumper because the Collingwood jumper hasnt changed in 150 years...

The sponsor's name on the Bays' yellow sash is just wrong.

They will be running out looking like Nascar drivers soon enough.

 

[Hoops]

I don't like it, this is counter to AFLs equalisation policy. The less money going directly to clubs, the less discrepancy in revenue generated between clubs.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

More money coming into the sport is bad?

 

[Xtreme]

Another meaningless decision for the AFL.

Mess with the rules, altering break times.................

They should concentrate more on getting involved in Australian politics, the "YES" scenario won them a lot of praise (and condemnation!).

I did a bit of googling on this and Holy s**t I could not believe how much the big football clubs in Europe get for Guernsey advertising..... I had to triple check it but yes that is what Manchester United get for a single year from their Guernsey sponsors.



By the numbers: This season, Manchester United will receive $91.9 million from Adidas (kit supplier), $80 million from Chevrolet (main sponsor) and $27.5 million from Kohler (sleeve sponsor). Total: $199.4 million.

• Nike is paying $1 billion over eight years to be the official apparel provider for all 30 NBA teams, while Adidas is paying $919 million over 10 years to be the official supplier for Manchester United, alone.

Would you support Hawthorn changing their name to the Tasmania Hawks to bring in extra money? There are lines.

Like South Melbourne changed their name when they went to Sydney?

If Hawthorn did move (heaven forbid), then yeah, I'd imagine the name would be changed.

Anyways, the jumpers are already covered with advertising logos, so I don't see why there should be such a fuss over what the Saints are doing (or any other club for that matter). All they've done is cover one logo with another one.

Didn't think Brisbane fans existed after 2005?

It would be the same as if Man utd covered the adidas logo on the chest of their shirt with another sponsor

cheapens the shirt, cheapens the club

do you want Jif cream replacing the adidas logo on the Hawthorn jumper. They would then have the afl logo, the jif logo and tasmania, just lol

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

They’ve spelt it wrong, I remember seeing it as ‘drae’ on their jumper last season.
