Phoenix sponsorship

But you get more Zeds from Wellington Beds - and some damn good beds

Is is just for a season, or 2?

'

Yeap

Wow, stunned. Sony back again, good to see they came to their senses and re-signed :)

Wellington Beds, the colour is a bit awful for a main logo (especially on yellow/black stripes). But good to see them in a more prominent place this year too _b

haha after all the angst about losing Sony as a sponsor....

That's fantastic news !, congrats to Tony P!

Stunning work by the Phoenix management team, from having to watch Sony walk away, pop up again on the Bling shirts (different company, through the retailer blah blah, still the same logo) and then to bring them back into the fold.

I'm still mighty pleased to have a shirt without the sponsor (as a personal preference) but an interesting choice for those without one yet, the Sony will look pretty good. The alternative shirt is really going to come into its own.

Makes plans to practice kicking football into empty goal blindfolded for half time competition. I could do with one of the new Bravia 46" HD LCD TV's. Lonegunmen2009-08-07 15:45:06

Well done Tony P and the 'Nix sponsorship team wilso2009-08-07 15:45:54

that's great news - SONY would look good as a sponsor logo on any shirt, and makes the old (and hopefully the new) shirt look better in my opinion! It will certainly look the goods on the away shirt- almost tempted to buy one of those as well now!

Also they won't have to change the training strip now - they've still been wearing the Sony ones!

It's all coming together at the end just in time - only receiving the blooming season tickets now outstanding for some of us!   

So did we offer them less or did they accept more than they were originally willing too? Gangsta!2009-08-07 15:49:30

Err, does anyone know a good repairman for all that Sony stuff I smashed and dumped in the basement...

Lol! I did not see that coming!

I was wondering why the players still wore the Sony sponsored gear for training.
And I got thinking last night about this economic climate and money excuse we go t when an ad came on for a huge a league competitio. Sponsored by sony.

Sony-tastic news.

wow, funny that none of us even thought that the would renew there sponsorship.

whats now gonna happen when we play sydney? sony is on there away strip right?? bing lee is at home for them?

Sony only on the front on the shirt (as aposed to front and back)

2 teams can have the same sponsor..

Sony vs Sony - It'll be like Spy vs Spy, total destruction.

Good effort I reackon. Any money in these money tight conditions is good money!!!!!
Kudos to the nix bargining team. The last of many coup's of the pre-season

A bit awful??

It looks horrible, give some of the increase pot you gave the Nix to a decent graphic designer to find something nicer and something that would look good on a shirt, green and yellow doesnt...

Nice work Nix, getting Sony back is a terrific outcome.

Looks pretty good, I like how low-key the sony logo is in comparison to many others

Well then, that's our strip for the next 1,000 years settled then. 

Since when; Rangers and Celtic have had the same sponsors for about 12 years now: :ntl, Carling

great news for the nix. And it looks awesom on the shirt. Can see the away shirt looking better too.

No more angst and speculation

Sterling effort,Tony P and Nix Marketing...great to see sponsorships in place for first game of the season.
Certainly caught a few of us by surprise ...  Episode 3: Return of the Sony !

I admit to having been pretty disappointed when they announced they were leaving.
I always thought........

*** (shuffles off to check past posts on sponsor threads, making sure he said nothing too rude, crude and uncalled for in the past about illustrious returning sponsors Sony) ***

...they were a superb company! Top shelf.One of the best.Marvellous.

good news indeed, I can put them back on my list of good people

Best strip in the league now. End of.

From the 442 article. Officials wouldn't reveal the exact worth of the deal, but said it was "very, very beneficial". Sounds like a good deal, congratulations to the nix management.

Didn't see that one coming

Great work Tony P and ors!

I'd like to say how fortunate we have been to have a CEO like Tony P from day 1. Always in touch with the fans.

Hoping for guest/ marquee player in the future to propel us to the play offs and beyond!

Must of got better price

Good to see them back in
