It certainly wasn’t on the shirts during league matches as I can find no video/still images of us wearing it out with those cup games.

The McClair programme cover image is an important clue as it was clearly worn during a Rangers away match prior to 83. A bit of a puzzle.

Expand A few more clues from historicalkits.co.uk Quote In 1977 Hibernian became the first top-level UK club to wear shirts carrying sponsorship (by Bukta, the kit manufacturer). Derby County landed the first English deal with Saab in 1978 but the sponsored shirts were never worn after the pre-season photo shoot. It fell to Liverpool a year later to wear the first shirts to carry a sponsor’s name in the Football League in 1979. The Eighties – The Market Rules (1980-1989) Once Hibs and Liverpool broke the mould clubs began to exploit the potential revenue from selling shirt sponsorship. The BBC and ITV companies refused to broadcast matches featuring sponsored shirts, forcing clubs to remove sponsors’ logos when the cameras were present. Coventry City thought they were on a winner when they introduced a kit that incorporated the logo of the Talbot car manufacturing company into their design but the TV companies boycotted them until they introduced an alternate strip for televised games. In 1983 the broadcasters finally gave way and allowed sponsored shirts to be shown: immediately the value of a sponsorship deal with a club that would feature regularly on Match of the Day or the equivalent ITV programmes went through the roof. At the time, Football League regulations restricted the size of logos to a maximum of 81 square centimeters (32 square inches) but for televised games they had to be half this size.

Unless of course it really *is* a money for nothing deal I suppose there's the possibility that we haven't actually secured a shirt sponsor yet...

Busta Nut Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Back to our sponsor for this season. What's the deal? Surely we start looking at these things in about Feb when we know the deal is up soon? Surely the delay means that we lose out on revenue cos the strips can't be sold over the summer.

weeyin Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I'd be surprised if there was any significant loss of overall sales due to a delay of a few weeks. It's not like someone will go out and buy an Accies top instead. (Why people feel the need to wear them when they go away for the Fair fortnight is a thread all on its own). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This image of Brian McClair which featured on a March 83 cover and was clearly taken during a game v Rangers at Ibrox. The game against them was in November 82 and it asks the question whether Scottish Brewers ever featured on our top prior to that game.

Expand According to this page this page they say the shirt sponsorship started in Feb 1984. Given we switched to Skelly in the 84/85 season, looks like it could have been as short as 4 months. So we would have been allowed to wear on televised matches (as that rule was relaxed in 1983), but any of those we did play in between August 1983 and January 1984 would have been without the logo.
