cider hoss rules Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 With the topic of Rovers new kit (which i think is quite smart), have any developments happened with our kit for 2005/06 or with sponsorship deals ?There seem to be many who are directly in touch with the club or staff in some way, does anyone know for sure ?CHR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openEnd Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Not forgetting the new crap badge, when our fantastic commercial suicide department were allowed to push through unchallenged, whilst the wonderful FCC chose to do nothing.I'm still upset about this badge issue, it aint gone away as far as I'm concerned.Branding? stick it Mr Lansdown.

openEnd Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Someone's tired...... ←I am tired as it happens. but don't confuse tiredness, with an opinion on something I care passionately about.Mr Lansdown and co have missed the point big time on this. The early vociferous anti-badge feelings that were expressed by many posters, although they have probably not changed, have been undoubtedly less audible lately. The board must be laughing at us for our apparent attitude of collective acceptance.And moving away from the badge (slightly)I've read before that TFG make shirts for some other recognised labels? Who?Now I'm no business studies expert but can someone answer me how a robin badge on an admiral/lotto/puma/umbro/NOT TFG shirt (retailing at the same price) can create less revenue for the club in the long run, purely on the increase in sales? We would shift hundreds more!It would re-establish our instantly recognised identity with the feathered one and who knows it might also create a feeling of relative value for money for the fans, compared to the shoddy merchandise and sky high prices we currently experience.We just accept any old crap they chuck at us, time and time again. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
