thabucks Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Has it been confirmed we will be having a second sponsor or just speculation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 We're allowed one so I'd be surprised if we didn't even if it was acorns again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted May 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2016 That black and green is lovely, nice work. It's going to have those numbers and letters from the championship though, which just makes the kits look so cheap to me, terrible typeface.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Where's the talk of a second sponsor coming from? Are we finally switching sports? This lot would have to go some way to being worse cyclers than they are footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have never been sufficiently economically viable to justify a charitable sponsor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Wasn't it at the time just us and Barca with a charity sponsor? And even they have sold out to the oil sheikhs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even they have sold out to the oil sheikhs They both had slightly cynical reasons behind them. Barcelona was just a step to having a sponsor on, you can't make such a song and dance about being "more than a club" for years and scoffing at clubs who have sold the space on their shirts then immediately go to having oil money on the kit. Barca figured to have the fans get used to seeing a brand emblazoned on the shirt they would go with a brand that people couldn't really complain about and went with Unicef. Nice gesture? Sure, but I'll bet you a pound to a penny they wouldn't have done it if they didn't have Qatar Airlines lined up to follow it. Villa? I believe Acorns was just an attempt to drive the value of the space on the front of our shirts up. Cause a bit of a stir in popular media then maybe get a few million quid extra next time the space is up for sale. I doubt it paid off financially but I can see what they were trying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa went from 1874-1982* without having a sponsor which isn't bad either. *yes, I know sponsorships were not allowed for most of that time, hence the smiley.

sexbelowsound Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Whether we get a second shirt sponsor or not we should have acorns on the back. Might go some way to repairing our **** embarrassing reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I suppose they are quite thankful for the Qatar deal now, apparently their finances are pretty much maxed out trying to compete with the finances of the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
