I hate that gambling sponsorship stuff. It's horrible and tacky, not to mention irresponsible.

Me too.

It's everywhere at the minute. The betting industry has gone from slightly seedy to mainstream in the space of 5 years. Smart phones have made them literally Billions
 
Literally no thought has gone into it at all.

Ours has the dark collar that at least breaks the colour up a little bit and the Chang logo mixes in quite well with the shirt

This is just one shade of green with a terrible logo slapped in the middle of it with no thought given as to trying and make it a bit easier on the eye. Just awful

This is what I don't get about buying replica shirts. Why spend £50 on being nothing more than a walking advertising board?

That's the reason I don't buy Superdry.
You could say the same about any branded clothes I guess, but I'm definitely put off by anything where the logo dominates the whole thing. I look at footy shirts a bit differently, you can justify it to an extent in that you're advertising the club and your allegiance, also that the spend contributes to the club's coffers. I'm glad we don't have a betting firm splashed over our shirts, wouldn't feel comfortable with that. Quite happy to get behind a beer though (hypocrisy is the greatest luxury).

I buy polo shirts instead. Last year's British Lions jersey was a good example - I didn't want to wear anything with HSBC on it, and thankfully Adidas made what was basically the same shirt without the HSBC logo :)
 
BRG is a lovely shade of green, albeit looks great on a brut in suit Aston, not sure on Hibs shirt though.

Agree on tacky sponsership logo.
