max_saints Posted 29 December, 2017 Share Posted 29 December, 2017 Coincided with the Puel/Pellegrino era. Forget sacking the manager/board/players/tea lady! BRING BACK VEHO! (tongue firmly in cheek, just a random thought when I noticed our best highlights of recent years always had players in the veho kit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

once_bitterne Posted 10 May, 2019 Share Posted 10 May, 2019 With the surprising timing for this announcement, i wonder if we'll be playing in next seasons strip on Sunday... With the timing of that announcement then, no. Not a chance. It might have been possible if we were to have the same shirt sponsor but given we haven't then we aren't going to have a new shirt with Virgin Media on the front for one game and Virgin Media have paid to be our shirt sponsor for all games this season so wouldn't allow a shirt with new sponsor to be worn for last game.

trousers Posted 10 May, 2019 Share Posted 10 May, 2019 (edited) Chinese sports company on shirts. One of these....? http://www.chinawhisper.com/top-10-china-sports-brands/ 1. Li Ning 李宁 2. Anta 安踏 3. 361° 4. PEAK 匹克 5. ERKE 鸿星尔克 6. Qiaodan 乔丹 7. Xtep 特步 8. Kbird 贵人鸟 9. Kinglike 金莱克 10. Deerway 德尔惠 EDIT #1: from a quick scan of the above companies, PEAK seem to be the one most into sport sponsorship, football (soccer) in particular.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_Sport_Products EDIT #2: Xtep have previous involvement in premier league sponsorship with Birmingham City.... didn't seem to end too well.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xtep On 18 January 2010, Xtep released a press statement confirming they had secured a five-year kit sponsorship deal worth around £7m with English Premier League club Birmingham City. Birmingham's vice chairman Peter Pannu hailed the deal as "the biggest sponsorship the club has acquired" and stated that "Xtep are big players in the sportswear market in China and this partnership will expand the Birmingham City FC brand in the Far East." On 22 July 2011, Xtep announced a five-year cooperation agreement with Spanish La Liga club Villarreal CF for a kit sponsorship deal. The Birmingham City deal was scrapped in June 2012, however, after disputes over supply problems and unauthorised use of the club's intellectual property by Xtep.

VectisSaint Posted 11 May, 2019 Share Posted 11 May, 2019 I must be missing something, where does it say on those Sfc tweets that Virgin will only be sleeve sponsor's?, The deal, which runs until the end of the 2021/22 season, will see Virgin Media remain as the sleeve sponsor of the first-team shirt. Its logo will also appear on the sleeve of Southampton’s Under-18 and Under-23 men’s sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that you can probably find something 'wrong' with all kinds of sponsors, but the reason I'm not keen any betting companies is because it's becoming increasingly the norm to link football with betting, and it seems to be overlooked that people have serious problems with it in the same way as people do with other banned advertising like alcohol. I mean, just look at Heisenberg, he can't tear himself away from his account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
