Sleeve Sponsor?

Paul E · July 18, 2017

Apologies if I've missed this but what has happened to the sleeve sponsor?

Elstone seem to make a point of including this in the recent AGM as part of a future revenue stream (from 17/18) but we've released the kit/s and there is nothing on them? I've seen Man City have theirs (as have Watford) but we don't seem to have bothered.

A few threads about this.

Something something only 2 teams have done it. Something something sportpesa may have wanted exclusivity.

Sack the board

Perhaps it will be added to the kit after the season has started and then people who have bought the kit can fume because their kit doesn't match the players?

I was expecting this to be "USM" as I thought it was linked to the training ground sponsorship, then I thought maybe USM would be sponsoring the training kit, but that's all Sportpesa as well, possibly it was Suntan Bob misleading us again?

Seems strange, from what I remember of that AGM he was quite explicit in stating that a sleeve sponsorship deal was done. Looking at our new kit, which I am no fan of, there isn't anywhere to put a logo on the sleeves without adding a background because of the Umbro diamonds so maybe they just decided to can the idea.

I think he said we were extremely confident of having one for this coming season. Seems a missed opportunity and a chance to be innovators

Will it be Carling now that we're having it in the ground?

I'm surprised its taken so long for premier league to get round to sleeve sponsorship. I'm pretty sure in some leagues they put sponsorship logos on the arse of the shorts.

I think it would already be on the shirts if this was the case?

Pretty sure Chang connections are still there and I expect it to be at the ground this coming season

No idea Mikey. I'm just confident Chang will still be around, and I'm sure I read that connections would be kept.

With saying that I thought that meant as a sleeve sponsor.

How do we know we have Carling? Cos that is a massive improvement and will mean I could actually drink a beer at half time, instead of crying into a pint of Chang

To be honest, I'm only going off what @blue_order said earlier in the thread

Abby and I are intrigued

Of all the nicknames I've had I can comfortably say, that is the worst.
