Quote New Balance Athletics, Inc. (NB), best known as simply New Balance, is one of the world's major sports footwear and apparel manufacturers. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the multinational corporation was founded in 1906 as the New Balance Arch Support Company. Quote

Wells 11 5,487 Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 I remember when we used to celebrate getting a new sponsor. I still do. Quote

NB already have enough advertising? I still have no idea whether you are for/against NB not having additional branding somewhere else on the jumper, replacing the spot they’ve lost. Quote

pitmaster 3,591 Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 Remember when speculation about sponsors occupied multiple pages and threads here, as often we didn't have any? Remember the forlorn, forgotten club hanging out for a lifesaver until a supporter drummed up a certain Russian tech group? Remember Jimmy courting a potential, and not to be named or patronised, sponsor only to have it snatched away at the death? Be grateful those times are past. This I can live with. 1 Quote

Very hard. Often we would leave it right up until the eve of the season to secure a major jumper sponsor. Much prefer the alternative. Edited October 6, 2022 by layzie Quote

Let's be honest it's small and is not any different really to the previous prime logo sponsor NB ( New Balance). It doesn't take over the jumper and is much more subtle than the Hertz yellow background. Any one claiming it ruins the jumper or is out of line just wants to create a big hoo ha has not much else to grumble about. Our jumper looks good because of its red and blue heritage and our design and the more sponsorship we can gain far outweighs any pitiful grandstanding. Meds time… someone needs to take a chill pill or ten. It’s a topic of discussion. And if you’re gonna take someone to task, at least spell their name correctly. It’s B-I-Z-K-I-T 😜 Quote
dazzledavey36 56,278 Posted October 6, 2022 Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I don't care how the jumper looks. I just want a flag at the MCG. Is that too much to ask for instead. Edited October 6, 2022 by dazzledavey36 1 Quote

However MCW if you reckon because I replied to BiZkit why didn't you call him out with a chill pill also? Threatened like a balloon ready to burst if the "good money for Club" line was used. Didn't like 2 letters changing on our beloved prime guernsey which looks great all the time! It's Ok to introduce a thread but not to have a reply back if it is virtually making a mountain out of a molehill. After all it's all about sponsorship $$ and we are the winners in 2023 and ongoing years. You must be pleased about extra chunk of sponsorship has been secured for our future. Go Dees !! $$$ Quote

BTW, I totally agree with you about the sponsorship $$$. And about us being winners in 2023. ❤️💙 GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!! Quote
layzie 34,528 Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 I'd just like to hear Clint's take on it because I'm legitamately not following. Is it the logo? Is it selling out? Is it too many sponsors on the jumper? Is the company IG aligned with an evangelical group? What's the sticking point? 1 Quote
