Old badge, shit gambling sponsor, 50% of the graphic emblazoned with the colour of our bitterest enemy. Back to Dr Xia levels of poor. Don't worry, he's already out the door.

I'm not wearing anything with that shite plastered across the front of it. I’m really excited for the new badge but no shirt for me. Maybe a cap or something with the new badge on and no sponsor (assuming they make something like that). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't put BK8 on your grandma's courtains, nor have they released anything associated with the shirt yet. It's a minor announcement.

Hank Scorpio Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 We have had lots of gambling sponsors why the outcry over this one more than others, the adverts with women in bikinis? Sadly we are not high.profile to attract a massive brand so it will be a sponsor like like this for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree with you on alot of things, but our commercial, social media, marketing and kit coordination/launches often seem an afterthought. I don't get it. Hopefully Chris Heck can sort it all out.

Most likely right, just felt like they could have done the sponsor marketing about 3 weeks ago, leaving time this morning (they have amended the shop opening hours effectively giving notice of a launch) for a reveal. In prime Villa style, the reveal will now be as the shop opens... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only gripe is the absolute state of the logo Then again I don't buy the kits anyway so I won't care after initially seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it looks like that's where the money is. You long for July 2026. Quote English soccer's top-flight clubs will no longer be allowed to have gambling brands on the front of their shirts from the 2026/27 season. But has the ban gone far enough and what happens next? The Premier League’s 20 clubs have voted to voluntarily remove gambling sponsors from their matchday playing shirts, a move that English soccer’s top flight claims makes it the first UK sports competition to do so. That might be true, but similar measures are already in place for LaLiga and Serie A clubs, although those were imposed by the Spanish and Italian governments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
