The words Door Deals on the sign on their own premises on Saxon Road is black and white can’t they just do it like that on the shirts?

Wouldn’t be the first time a sponsor has amended a logo due to it looking a bit poor either. VisitMalta did it (ditching the red of ‘malta’ and moving to all black on white background) and then we had the unlegible Westfield Health scrawl that was given a better look (and they also mercifully resisted the urge to originally go with the blue text with multicoloured logo that they had then too). Then of course there was John Holland...

how can a football club have a tie in with a smoking company?

It doesn’t, it has a tie-in with an e-cigarette company. It wouldn’t be legally able to have a tie-in with a smoking product – sporting partnerships of that kind stopped quite a while ago.

I know, hence why I don’t understand this. E-cigs are a smoking product. Shouldn’t be allowed.

Vaping and smoking are two very different things, both in terms of the product inhaled and particularly the relative harms associated with that product. I’m personally a fan of neither, but categorising an e-cigarette as “a smoking product” isn’t accurate. They’re not recognised as a smoking product by the medical profession, regulators, or indeed by users themselves.

So football teams should be promoting “vaping” should they? It’s a health risk and it’s smoking lite. I really don’t see why a football club would be allowed to promote it. That said there are dozens of alcohol brands on football shorts and that is wrong in my view as well.

Sponsorship is sponsorship and a commitment to the club. That in itself is a positive step. Regarding the logo, like it or not is simply corporate branding and doing its job in getting noticed.

The thing is though if people don’t like the logo they might not buy the shirt, hence everyone concerned more than likely losing out.

It’s a big thing for some people so it needs to be right for most concerned otherwise although the sponsorship money is helpful it will end up a pointless scenario for all parties.

It’s “smoking lite” if you mean that e-cigarettes carry a fraction of the risk of cigarettes (when used as directed vs those used that are poorly-made stuff that explode in your face).

I personally wouldn’t be happy if alcohol, any nicotine-containing product, or a payday loans company appeared on our kit. In fact I’d say a giant version of the DoorDeals logo would be preferable to that.

Unlike a lot of folk on here, I'm sure he's got more important things to worry about.

Great bloke actually, as I'm sure Foxy would agree.

What if he doesn't have anything more important to worry about and he's in his house now rocking back and forth singing tip-toe through the tulips with me whilst stroking an imaginary cat?
