THE phoenix must be one of the only professional football teams that has no company sponsorship on its shirts. Ive only just realised this, isnt it great, Ive got to save up and get one before it is grafettied in this way. I know the club is missing out on money, but isnt it great to have a shirt that is unadulterated in this way! Long may it last I say.

Yeah i guess so. Looks a bit empty tho!
 
Dont think well get the strips with sponsers on them for the public this year even if we do get a major sponser.

I agree Madhouse. I think shirt sponsorship looks sh*te. If a company wants me to promote them they should pay ME!

BTW did you know Barcelona FC has NEVER had shirt sponsors? They have UNICEF on their shirts at the moment and that space is given for free.

I had a great Hibs strip from '91 when we won the league cup and didn't have a sponsor - looked great, gave it away though :(

I noticed Quuensland and Newcastle as well don't have main shirt sponsors.

When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!

I heard a rumour that the phoenix ARE getting a sponsor, i heard that the reason there is no nix mens tops to buy just now is because they are getting new ones released late october/early november with the new sponsors on them, hence the big delay in getting new tops released.
 
You heard it here first!!

2 sources, 1 from the club shop when i was in about 3 weeks ago as i asked when they will get new tops in and someone in there blipped it out by mistake as to the reason the tops are not getting released till late october/early november, they said the away tops would be released before the new home tops, they wanted to try and do a double release as both tops will have a sponsor on them and 2.people i know in welly have told me as well.

No its not to late. Try and visit the Phoenx store at the end of thos month or Early November and there should be Home strips in.
 
Dont think those rumours are true as i was in the store the other day and asked about that exact thing and got a no...so yeah.

uncle steve i dont know whats true mate, but i think that makes sense that they are delaying them to get sponsors on them, otherwise the tops would be released well before then!! it doesnt take 2 months to re-release more tops!! it would only take a max of 2 weeks!!

i read in the paper a few weeks back that there will most likely be a main shirt sponsor soon, there is a couple of negotiations i think it was... and there was no concern for the phoenix management, they're just trying to find the sponsor that will work best with the club...

.. with terry there money isn;t really an issue

Barca actually pay UNICEF for that!!
 
"The five-year collaborative agreement with UNICEF was signed by Barcelona president Joan Laporta at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
 
Under a deal bearing the slogan "Barcelona, more than a club, a new global hope for vulnerable children," the Catalan team will annually contribute �1.5 million (US$1.9 million) to UNICEF humanitarian projects."

a company sponsor doesn't make a good shirt.
Having said that, I reckon they could have done a much better job indesigning the Nix gear for this season...

How about a sponsorship deal with Durex or Viagra? Satisfying performances & safety in numbers.
