The eyesore sponsor

[Kivo Blade]

Black text for the advertising would look good IMO

 

[Eric Cartman]

Yeah it’s a complete mystery why they chose to not use white text on a white background

True say, but why did they choose green? And why did the bleeding club let them get away with it? What’s wrong with black

It's not the sponsors corporate colour, that's it.

I don't know the agreement or anything but maybe they chucked a bit more in for us making it green, who knows. Could be a weeks wage for a couple of players, could be half of the total deal, could be the enough to buy the pies for the South Stand concession for a couple of games, every little helps I suppose.

That would be my theory on why it’s green, the club also probably thought the fans wouldn’t really be that arsed between green and black.

I would say most fans don’t really care that much, it’s just a few moaners online.

Can't believe how distraught some of you are
Look on the bright side it will distract attention away from your generic beards and side partings

Honestly, I'd be happy with Dignitas on the back and Immodium on the front in a shit brown box if they ponied up enough money haha

Makes you wonder why they chose green text when it’s WHITE on their own bastard shop.

I don't think a white logo would work on a red and white background!

Already done this Tynemouth my point moreso is why do they need to choose green text when the front of their shop isn’t even green text?

I’m not totally convinced that green text in a box will be the final offering based on what Jim Phipps Tweeted. Let’s hope so anyway.

Jim Phipps hasn't tweeted anything since December???

It was a Twitter/FB message to a fan. Not sure what involvement Jim still has at SUFC corporate level

Yeah I know mate, I’ve just checked it myself, I was sure the Tweet quoted him, maybe it just Twitter throwing up one of those who to follow Ads. I did wonder at the time what the feck Jim was doing getting involved but thought maybe he’d heard something.
