Adbo9 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Villa will not drop Acorns in my opinion! on the contrary, Villas topdogs were courting Chartered Standard to sponsor them, as they are desperate for a sponsor - theyll drop Acorns like a stone........

PilkyMakinMusik Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I don't think we're in a position to refuse commercial shirt sponsorship an more. It would be nice to still support and promote acorns in some way which I'm sure we will, but we already lag quite far behind the likes of spurs and city in terms of revenue never mind the big 4. Our shirt space must be of much more value now than when we last had a sponsor, Arsenal and Chelsea have long term deals in excess of £10m a year, if we could get half of that we'd be laughing. As others have said it's less than great to follow a children's charity but with a bit of clever spin the whole thing could be turned around, maybe even a cut for acorns or a pledge from the company itself, even a few hundred thousand, would probably stick more money in the coffers than the increased exposure of promoting them on our shirts has achieved.

parisvilla Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Messing around again with Sponsors on kits- The home with ACORNS as the full sponsor An away kit (based on Nike's PSG kit. The tiny dot pattern is made up of alternate claret & blue dots) A third Kit (based on the USA world cup Nike kit. The blue looks darker on the original adobe Illustrator file, and in photoshop than here) these are quality! i'd have to get all three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know this? one of my good friends works for Chartered Standard and is the man making the decisions and dealing with the sponsorship deals for them..... theyve signed with Liverpool, and Villa were massively courting him when they put out they were looking to sponsor a Premier League club. Villa (amongst other sides) gave him the red card treatment and basically begged him to sponsor villa, but in his words following on from a charity would be a "PR Disaster" and that Villa will struggle bigtime to find a sponsor willing to take that risk........ Villa are desperate to drop Acorns, but are struggling to find anyone to take over - and that is the top & bottom of it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted March 31, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2010 following on from a charity would be a "PR Disaster" and that Villa will struggle bigtime to find a sponsor willing to take that risk........ I don't understand why this should be so? Anyone in PR able to explain? I'm not in PR but I'd imagine it's as simple as this - the perception is that your company has booted out a charity. It may not be true but thats the impression given, and that is an impression that isn't good for image which in turn isn't good for business. The image problem is one that'll be worse for Villa itself than the company coming in, because we'll have the blame placed at our feet. Regardless of us still having a partnership with Acorns, or whatever, we'll no longer have them on our shirts and a lot of the good that did us image wise (and it was never an altruistic measure to give Acorns the sponsorship) will be sent back when we no longer have them.
