Phoenix sponsorship

There's also a Coffee Club in NOrth City Shopping Centre in Porirua!

Just for future references.
A-League Sponsors-
Hyundai
Quantas
Solo
Gatorade
Westfield
Ballentines Whisky
Zuruch
Foxtel
Fox Sports
'Yes' Optus.

If any of these A-League sponsors clash with any of your suggestions, it probably wont happen.

Outside of manufacturing factory jobs, isn't the IT and the electronic jobs are also in the firing line during a recession? So Microsoft and Apple are not looking to sponsor anything new. what soccer teams do they sponsored anyway?

ACC

42 below it is then.

Wonder if that Wellington based vodka distillery knew that when they decided to name their product 42 Below? My guess is coincidence. Anyway, my vote goes to Hell for what it's worth, broader appeal, would look kick-ass on shirts, they're trying to broaden into Aus from memory, would not clash with any existing league sponsors...

Hell Pizza FTW!

So you think they just picked a random number and word to name their company?

I'm confused, where does the sarcasm end and the seriousness start??? Oh well. Can we have 42 Below? Ballentines might not like that

Yeah. I just realized I told everyone to forget about alcohol companies.
But...
You never know.
Solo and Powerade are drinks sponsors (And Principal Sponsors) and from memory they are owned by two different companies.
So why cant 42 below and Ballentines get along?
One is a Principal sponsor and the other is a team sponsor.

Now that Johnno has retired maybe it's safe to have an alcohol brand sponsoring us...

I saw that coming from a mile away.
I didnt give in to the temptation.

Because Ballentines don't want to have rivals in the same market Also, how much of a presence does 42 Below have in Aus? And can we (legally) have booze companies on our shirts?

Maybe. As long as it has the drink responsibly logo too?
And if people say that it would encourage drinking problems,
you can argue that Centrebet is causing people to develop gambling problems.

Some may also argue, how much presence does Ballentines have in nz?
And anyway, its not all about the presence of a company in a certain country. Its all about what audience the sponsor wants to be seen by.. And that could be an international or national audience.
Rob did argue that companies wouldn't give up the chance to advertise in Aus AND NZ. But that would vary from company to company. We could have Telecom as the sponsor (God help us)

Anyway.
My prediction is this.
42 below?
Not happening.
Its audience is very limited (18+) and Kids wouldn't be able to wear phoenix shirts at school.
I agree, it would look good and the name fits very well (Coincidence?)
And in theory, it could be done.
But its just not a logical thing to do.Stefan2009-03-13 23:52:46

Viagara - It's bound to raise more than our profile!!

That's why Newcastle weren't allowed to have Centrebet on their shirts when they came here, and we can't have the TAB, we are at a slight disadvantage that our sponosr has to conform to Aus and Kiwi lawsOska2009-03-14 11:14:34

No, Newcastle couldn't use CentreBet because they compete with the TAB.  Not for any philanthropic reasons.

Oops

No they couldn't use it because of NZ laws.

When does the contract with Sony actually finish? I see the nix site is still advertising Sony everywhere.

End of this month

And I'm pretty sure I'm right on that because I went to the store and asked

Bartercard? On that business show this morning they are expecting to grow during the reccesion, and are present in both countries (They sponsor the Breakers I think)

they are expecting to grow during the recession?

That sounds promising...

I still think NZ tourism (govt) should get on board with their "100% NZ"  logo. invest in some local wellington infrastructure like our favorite football franchise

Quite a boring logo.
And try to explain how the thing works to the general public.
I cant see how it would benefit the supporters too... As in, what can they offer us? they cannot offer "bartercard money" because it is not a bank and thats not how it works.

Its a lot easier to wait and find out who the actual sponsor is.
We can suggest things all we want but the fact is the Companies and Businesses have to offer to sponsor the Phoenix.
We cant just send Tony P down to New World Metro and ask if they want to sponsor a local football club.

They do netball

Snap.
Topical!

Because we'd never want to set ourselves up for pie gags ....

Never ever.

Think big (as in waistline) picture.
