The Blades 🤝 Maneki

[Wards]

MANEKI is a Solana-based meme token

You lost me at about this point in proceedings

 

[DifferentClass]

Sponsored by Japanese pussy.

Wow. Just wow.

 

[YES Blade]

As a cat dad I kind of like it lol

However, how on earth are we getting sponsored by this?

$61m market cap, so they aren’t exactly a tiny company, I’m sure we’ve been sponsored by smaller companies in the past

 

[Sean Thornton]

Absolutely awful. I'm distraught.

To those saying they're glad of the extra money, this will bring in fucking peanuts. Could've crowd funded to keep it blank or advertise a charity.

And we have to look like clowns for the privilege of a few quid from a completely fraudulent industry. And in a season when we have 3 nice kits.

“I'm distraught”

You okay hun?

 

[GrunkyPeep]

Not going to lie, I need one of them cat thingies with a Blades shirt on now....

 

[Sithblade]

Shame it's not just for the home shirt, then we could have Dogecoin as the away kit sponsor.

But is it a company, or just a cat?

 

[TopBoy]

As always with these things - its the design that cocks it up. Appreciate they've at least matched the colours - but a box sponsor like this rarely looks good - they'd have been better having the cat the same size as the lettering and sitting at the start of "Maneki" and made it a rectangular strip - would've been much easier on the eye

This version with Napoli is much better View attachment 195214

Napoli have Armani as their shirt suppliers! Nice.

 

[Revolution]

I hope we got the money up front.

Ponzi scheme, like all other crypto.

 

[Aston max]

Well that's disappointing I thought it was about being able to buy a blades mankini !!

At least we must have done the required due diligence into their long established history:

MANEKI is a Solana-based meme token inspired by the traditional Japanese -neko, symbolizing good luck and prosperity. It was launched on April 22nd, 2024, and has gained significant attention and trading volume due to its rapid price surge, major exchange listings, and social media buzz.

Good luck and prosperity.

I can see our football gods scheduling a meeting for tomorrow…….

It is shit, but it is our shit. get behind it blades.

Seriously - it looks wank

Wasn’t the Solana Jim Bowen’s club in Blackpool on Phoenix nights

Airport innit.

 

[Sparky The Blade]

Eventually I guess it was enevitable we'd be sponsored by either a gambling company or crypto. Poor show.

It’s both in this case.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Mental how many on here cherish the style and look of the kit whilst also turning up to matches head to toe in Jacamo.

I guarantee 2% on here will actually wear a shirt.

 

[idleurchin]

I'm thoroughly enjoying this particular meltdown.

 

[Panini]

I really don't give a shiny shite tbh. It looks fine. If you don't like it then don't buy it. Worst you'll have to do is look at it once or twice a week.

We're hardly in a position to be so fussy about what a sponsors logo looks like. Suck it up I guess, too many fans acting like petulant teenagers over inconsequential things.

"Oh no my team's shirt has a cartoon cat on the front, how embarrassing"

I mean, come on

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.

 

[gooseh]

At least there's an option not to have it applied.
Which seems odd .

Bollocks though, isn't it?

I am sad about losing the sponsorless shirts though, they've looked class.

 

[Rodders]

because deep down, they know it's a bit shit

 

[The Footballing Gods]

Good luck and prosperity.

I can see our football gods scheduling a meeting for tomorrow…….

Fear not. It's in the diary first thing. Followed by meeting with those lovely fellows at PGMOL.

Deep breaths.

No one cares.

 

[sufc323]

Guarantee this tweet will jinx our unbeaten run

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

Some of you lot of funny.

I'm yet to see a shirt sponsor affect the way a team play. Until then, crack on, it makes no difference.

 

[Cappy]

Really growing on me

 

[Linz]

 

[Westran]

I don't give a shit what we wear on the pitch, but I am glad we were able to purchase shirts without the sponsor on

 

[Sithblade]

These shirts with the sponsor on will be cult classics in a few years if we achieve promotion.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Some of the reactions on here are comical

Who cares? really?

It's a sponsorship, we will have worse, we will have better.
