The Blades 🤝 Maneki

[SouthStandGBlock]

My Grandad told me he drew a cock on the wall of the cricket pavilion when he was in his sixties………

And now he's doing it on football shirts.........

 

[jono_t2000]

I can only think of 2 words...

"Stress Less"

People getting worked up by a sponsor that's not even compulsory on shirt purchases... jfc!

 

[Harry's Game]

Is that one on his way to the sty? Has the Don flooded again?

[Stretch]

I quite like it

It just looks really shit and makes us look tinpot.
When hitherto, we've looked cool as fuck.

Bit of a shame.

Is it really that bad? I actually don't mind something a bit different but to be perfectly honest I have never understood why people get so wound up over kits and sponsors anyway. Some I like, some I don't but at the end of the day they have absolutely no bearing on how the team performs on the pitch, or dare I say how we are perceived.

The last time I remember a similar meltdown over a kit and sponsor, we got promoted.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Least we've got a loan signing outta the deal.

 

[SGBlade]

I’m clearly in a minority here but I think it will become a cult classic.

Didn't know who Maneki was but I'd have guessed it was some sort of trendy Japanese style designer fashion label.

Think it looks weird but in a weird Japanese style way.
Agree with some of the others.....if we're promoted this could become a classic logo.

If we go up = cult classic
If we have a crap season = hall of shame

Either way, classic memes.

Don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much from one thread.

This is just absolute gold!

This could become a cult shirt, just like the Bassett one he helped design.

This could even sell 10s of 1,000s of shirts in Asia because of the logo.

We need to get a Japanese player signed asap! All those fan girls will be in for this.

Definitely one to be filed into “so bad it was good!”

 

[Champagneblade]

Absolutely nothing I said has anything to do with the logo being a cartoon cat. I couldn't care less about that part.

'We're hardly in a position to be fussy". It's 5 months since we last had a shirt sponsor. Crowdfund it then? Or get charities on board and allow a different one on the shirt each week if they're unable to commit to a longer term sponsorship?

There are 100s of better solutions than this. But nobody should care because you don't? We should "suck it up" and gratefully accept the fraudulent few bob they've thrown our way because some fans always believe we're 10 minutes away from bankruptcy.

They could've sold naming rights for Bramall Lane and no-one would've given a shit because all the stands have been sponsored for years anyway and fans wouldn't use it anyway.

This is a pure desperation move - the club isn't desperate, the person whose job is it to secure sponsorship is.

Very rare something like this bothers me but this is a total clown move and we're being laughed at.

This is just the ice breaker.

Welcome to the Hello Kitty Stadium

 

[Champagneblade]

Gustavo can I have your shirt please?

On second thoughts, keep it

It’s added a new angle that at the end of the game the players are the ones holding up the signs saying “please can you take my shirt!”

Think it's ready to pounce in the box,

If we can keep our winning, all the ground doing a celebration that looks like the cat movement would be hilarious.

Although it might also resemble a nazi rally so perhaps not!

 

[Ron_Justice]

That's actually one of the best implementations of a sponsor l can remember us ever having. It's a weird sponsor but the execution is great IMO.

Once it gets in the box it’s likely to bury its shit. That would be fantastic to see when we’re away to the pigs…

It does have a look on its face that suggests it’s in the middle of a very satisfying dump.

Or if you’re looking at with the kind of perspective employed by Klaatu Barada Nikto then it’s having a wank.

 

[S64 Blade]

I fucking hate cats.

 

[ElephantBlade]

I kinda like it tbh. It’s a bit odd, a bit weird like but at least it’s different. In a few years time we’ll look back at it fondly I’m sure.

 

[Shawy24]

Best fucking shirt sponsor ever. FFS it's a comical cat type thing, what could be better than that? It's the absolute fucking dogs and as a non shirt buyer I'll buy ten of them beautys.

What would you miserable fuckers prefer, Chupa Chups or Mr. Tom

Actually Top Cat because he’s the most tip top top cat. Officer Dibble.

 

[BrayfordsBushyBeard]

At the end of the day they’re put money into our club . My personal opinion home , not good - better in writing like the laver colours someone mocked up . Away don’t mind at all and at least they’ve thought about it with the colour scheme . Third shirt I quite like and again same with the colour scheme . They’ve also given fans an option of yes or no on your shirt so what’s the problem? Also a very nice touch with the George Baldock tribute they posted .
All in all they seem a decent company .
As ever UTB !

 

[CarlMcBlade]

And it gets its international debut on television at Elland fucking Road!…They’re not gonna take the piss…are they?

 

[Rot]

Celebrating every goal by holding up the shirt and kissing pussy could soon catch on.

 

[Stretch]

Everyone is completely ignoring the glorious opportunity that this sponsor now give us to shithouse rival supporters when we win. One simple and classic meme will infuriate them.

 

[biggiesablade]

I want to rip the little cunts throat out

 

[Stretch]

Our sponsorship team needs putting down. Absolutely tinpot and embarrassing IMO. I get were not Man Utd size but this is utter crap.

So our sponsorship team needs putting down for securing us (what is clearly badly needed) sponsorship money?

Honestly, you'd think we were being sponsored by Islamic State with how some folk are reacting.

Who, the cat?

Always gonna get reactions from people who wanna react. Same with people who take offense.('specially the Wokie Dickheads ).

 

[AWetFlannel]

It's not necessarily more embarrassing than sponsorships we've had in the past, but it's shameful that we choose to associate with these sorts.

 

[GrunkyPeep]

Aye, nothing more important to the wokes than their relentless campaign to keep cats off football shirts

Well at least we have an answer to "Weerz Captain Blade". I'll be honest, having slept on it I don't hate it. The product can get fucked but all the tat that comes with it is kind of fun.

 

[Sparky The Blade]

Oh fuck off

Regrettably, it’s true. We are promoting a company that does nothing, it serves no purpose. All it has is a website that provides zero information, the owners are kept secret, there are videos on YouTube by third parties promising that if you buy the tokens you will make 1000% profit by selling it to someone else. Blades have kind of lied on their press release too as there are no rewards, there is no evidence anywhere to suggest that there are and it is not used for any known gaming protocol. Maneki themselves aren’t even making these claims. So if you give this company your money, all you get is a digital receipt and nothing else. The claim is that the receipt will be able to be sold on to another for huge gains, the company themselves won’t take it back and offer no refunds.

Nowt to do with wokism,whatever that is.
The point is, we’re Blades not pussies, and if you don’t get that,it’s thee that needs thi ‘ead looking at.
