Saints Fan Dan Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Well we do want to be flying up the table don't we?
Barry Sanchez Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Source? No its a drinks contract........................
RedAndWhite91 Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 FC Red Bull Salzburg "The Red Bull company bought the club on 6 April 2005 and rebranded it. After the takeover, Red Bull changed the club's name, management, and staff, declaring "this is a new club with no history." Red Bull initially claimed on the club website that the club was founded in 2005, but was ordered to remove this claim by the Austrian F.A. The new authority removed all trace of violet from the club logo and the team now play in the colours of red and white, to the consternation of much of the club's traditional support"
Highfield Saint Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 At least they'd give the stadium new wings... and the team...
Delboy Dave Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Monster logo looks crap due to spotty chavs and knobhead biker types thinking theyre gangster by sticking it all over their crappy 1.2litre Corsas and 125cc 2 stroke bag-of-nails motocross bikes. Its probably the same kind of morons than ruined Burberry a few years ago that have made Monster such trash I would not buy a shirt with a Monster logo on it no matter how nice it was.
The9 Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 To be honest, if there's one sponsor that would give me cause for concern, it's Red Bull. Pretty much every other sponsorship you can accept will be just having the name on the shirts, and maybe some tie-ins to give benefits for fans. Only one company (since Talbot in the 1980s, anyway) has tried to completely take over the identity of numerous clubs to further its branding. Unless anyone can think of any other examples ?

When was a fizzy drink specifically designed for chavvy tramps ever a brand with the same reputation as Burberry?

They weren't main sponsors but kit providers, but Pony effectively did that with us and West Ham by incorporating their "tick" into the design of home and away shirts.

The Kraken Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Pony If ever there was a name that summed up their product, that was it.
alpine_saint Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Looking forward to the friendly in Salzburg over the summer if thats the case.
Sour Mash Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Looking forward to the friendly in Salzburg over the summer if thats the case. There is a strong rumour that we'll be playing in Austria pre-season, so that would actually tally quite well.

Red Bull just sponsor people in other sports though, there are Red Bull teams and teams sponsored by Red Bull. Like Citroen and Volkswagen in WRC if I recall correctly. Seem to remember a WRC Mini Cooper with dolly girls giving out Red Bull in Brest High St not long back. Edited 28 May, 2013 by Window Cleaner
Golden Balls Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 This drinks industry sponsor rumour....did nobody notice that Bacardi/Grey Goose (Bacardi own Grey Goose) sponsored the player awards dinner? I hate to say I'm ITK but I work for Bacardi....so yeah.....watch this space.

Golden Balls Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 I may or may not know someone who was sat on their table for said dinner Rickie Lambert was on our table.
angelman Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Probably reading far too much into things now, but, clubs that Red Bull sponsor: RB Leipzig: Adidas kit NY Red Bulls: Adidas Kit Red Bull Salzburg: Adidas Kit Red Bull Brasil: Adidas Kit Red Bull Ghana: Adidas Kit And all play with white shirt with red adidas detailing with red shorts and white socks. The rumours are we are to be sponsored by an F1 team/drinks company and will be using a predominantly one colour shirt supplied by Adidas next year of a design that will not please everyone..... One rather small detail with all these. Red Bull may sponsor them all, but they also own them all as well. Do Red BUll sponsor teams that they don't own?
The Kraken Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Rickie Lambert was on our table.Indeed, and Kelvin also I believe.
trousers Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 One rather small detail with all these. Red Bull may sponsor them all, but they also own them all as well. Do Red BUll sponsor teams that they don't own? Hmmmm..... conspiracy theory alert.... maybe that is what Cortese had in mind when he threatened to bail out the other week.... maybe he had Red Bull lined up to buy out the Liebherrs if they didn't back him.... there again, maybe not....
Colinjb Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 One rather small detail with all these. Red Bull may sponsor them all, but they also own them all as well. Do Red BUll sponsor teams that they don't own? Not sure. I believe their involvement in football tends to be all or nothing. Maybe why they have essentially left the english game alone due to costs, although as RB Leipzig show they are not afraid to take over someone small with the intention of growing it.
JoeShmoe Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Indeed, and Kelvin also I believe. Was Milton there? If it is Red Bull maybe Adrian Newey can design us the perfect centre back, wouldn't put it past him!

I hate to say I'm ITK but I work for Bacardi....so yeah.....watch this space. Interesting, I was going to check the Prem rules for alcohol shirt sponsorship, but Everton having had Chang Beer (and Liverpool's previous with Carlsberg) indicates it's allowable. Premier League memo to parliamentary select committee here from 2009 about it : http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.com/pa/cm200910/cmselect/cmhealth/151/151we46.htm

The9 Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 According to the OS, the Player Awards were (primarily) sponsored by Eterna ? http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/official-player-awards-dinner-777751.aspx

The9 Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Though admittedly there are a fair few Grey Goose bottles as "awards" in various photos... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/gallery-2012-13-official-player-awards-823116.aspx
The9 Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Grey Goose sponsored the goal of the season award. Explains why Puncheon's got a bottle in pic 54 then.
Sour Mash Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Grey Goose sponsored the goal of the season award. And from the pics I saw, stuff like place names, tables etc had 'Grey Goose' on.
EBS1980 Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Bacardi, not exactly the classiest of sponsors. Would have thought NC would have wanted a highbrow company to go with the image he is building for saints.
The Kraken Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Bacardi, not exactly the classiest of sponsors. Would have thought NC would have wanted a highbrow company to go with the image he is building for saints. Can't be much of a step down from some tinpot B2B IT company, to be fair.
Sour Mash Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Bacardi, not exactly the classiest of sponsors. Would have thought NC would have wanted a highbrow company to go with the image he is building for saints. I don't know much about Vodka, but think Grey Goose is a bit of a premium brand?
Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 So basically our new sponsor will either be Bacardi or Grey Goose? Aren't they one in the same? i.e two different brands by the same company?
Turkish Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Can't be much of a step down from some tinpot B2B IT company, to be fair. FFS Krackers, dont you know we turned down a whole host of international brands that were literally queuing up to sponsor us to show our commitment to the local business community? Massive tsk
Crab Lungs Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Maybe, just maybe we're going to go all Spurs about it and have different sponsor on each shirt.
VectisSaint Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 I don't know much about Vodka, but think Grey Goose is a bit of a premium brand? Go to their web site where you will be invited to "support the project". I think that confirms it.
EBS1980 Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 I don't know much about Vodka, but think Grey Goose is a bit of a premium brand? Grey Goose is alright just saying bicardi wasnt
Midfield_General Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Yes, Grey Goose is premium. It would fit the mould of aspirational brands that NC is going after - Sunseeker, Eterna, etc.
Sour Mash Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Aren't they one in the same? i.e two different brands by the same company? Think Barcadi own Grey Goose don't they? Just meant it'll be one or the other names on the shirt, same company though.
krissyboy31 Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Too Austrian for a Swiss owned club IMO. More likely to be Nescafe or something similar.
krissyboy31 Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Explains why Puncheon's got a bottle in pic 54 then. If he had anything to do with it, it would be Andrex!
Saints foreva Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Meh, looks a little bit better than the stuck on aap3 I guess.
Saint Scott Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Meh, looks a little bit better than the stuck on aap3 I guess. Both sponsors would look okay in my opinion. However, like others have said Red Bull would want full control etc etc.....That kit on the other hand is disgusting. God help us if we end up with that.

I hate to say I'm ITK but I work for Bacardi....so yeah.....watch this space. Alcohol companies cannot sponsor sports clubs that attract young people, it's the law!
Charlie Wayman Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Too Austrian for a Swiss owned club IMO. More likely to be Nescafe or something similar. Nestle are the obvious Swiss conglomerate so any of their subsidiary activities with the exception of confectionary would be OK legally but no F1 link that we know of.
Sour Mash Posted 28 May, 2013 Posted 28 May, 2013 Alcohol companies cannot sponsor sports clubs that attract young people, it's the law! What about Everton then?
