Sponsors above numbers can go and get ****. Especially when half of them look like they were iron pressed on 5 minutes prior.

Also, someone asked what Port were wearing, we're playing North, not St Kilda, and normally against their inverse jumper we wear home with white shorts.

I can live with the above number sponsor but the iron on patches are embarrassingly cheap. They had all off season to sort it out and both clubs in the first game have them squeezed in as a complete afterthought.

Depending on the manufacturer, the lead time is actually quite long and probably had to be organised by December or early January (earlier if they had to do it at the same time as the training gear). Also deals take awhile to push over the line.

I know it’s good money, but it doesn’t sit right having KFC sponsor a sport team

 

[Clint Bizkit]

All sponsors logos above the numbers are so cheap looking.

Seems bizarre that it took so long to finalise what ended up being just a simple sponsor swap.

I'm a little surprised the above the number sponsor took so long to be organised

Could of taken their sweet time to announce it.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

It may sound dramatic but I’m seriously considering whether or not to continue my footy jumper collection. Just the sight of that KFC logo makes me want to vomit. Huge big bash vibes.

RSEA may have had an agreement if no one takes it at a higher price by a certain date (the week of round 1) they would take it for a fixed figure increase

I hate ‘above number’ sponsors but the Pies one is actually looking okay because it’s all sublimated

More on-field advertising coming your way in 2021.

Vale ‘50’ signage. Telstra logos now appear on both sides of each arc.

On top of that, you can see Toyota’s “Footy. Oh what a feeling!” tagline below the league logo. I don’t know why, but I have this feeling this one could potentially just be for round one, so will be interesting to see if this stays permanently or not.

Bad, but at least we don’t have those terrible virtual ads in the middle of each 50 that seemed to be there for a while last season

 

[Franc de Borges]

Honestly feel as though we might as well go the full soccer route now and have the large sponsor splashed across the front with the club logo on the left breast, then name above number and another large sponsor underneath.

So disappointing to see what’s happened to all of the jumpers. Cluttered and tacky.

It's the 5G metre line

It's the 5G metre line

Will they move it out 10m when we get 6G ?

So basically what the WAFL has....

I really hope not.

No, by then Vodafone will probably be the sponsor

Are the hoops slowly rising? Red hoop up into number slightly.

Don't give those 'people' any ideas...

 

[Storm20]

I think Collingwood, Adelaide & West Coast are the only teams with sublimated top number sponsors?

Would be happy to see Carlton Zero take over from CGU next year (2021 is CGU’s year, yeah?). It’d be much better than the fat green box.

 

[acm21]

and St Kilda

Port? And freo (hopefully)

Interesting... so this will be the first time in a while that two clubs have had the same sponsor. Can't remember at the moment but I'm sure it's happened a few times before.
