wellup83 Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I prefer the home this time around having bought the last two aways. I prefer wearing a darker colour on match days. The sponsors logo will determine whether I buy this season or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted July 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Back of shirt sponsor confirmed. Any news on the all important front of shirt sponsor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWilson (Anchorman) Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Loving the kits, especially the away one, and especially without a sponsor plastered across it. Unfortunately, it would be extremely unusual for a top flight club to start a season without one, and therefore a bit surprising that one hasn't yet been announced. Personally think it would be great to see Suicide Awareness move from back to front of shirt, sadly seems to affect a lot of us in the area. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, we probably all know individuals who are struggling with life for one reason or another and i’ve certainly had the experience of knowing someone who took their own life at a young age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Hearts ‘Save the Children’ involvement it would be great if we could promote a force for good by showcasing Suicide Awareness on the front of the shirt and try and stay clear of the more controversial sponsorship partners. Betting and payday loan companies have been shown to have a negative impact on some peoples lives and as a community club that is something that has never sat well with me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, along with alcohol which clubs don’t seem to have a problem plastered on front of their shirts. Mental health issues are huge in the west of Scotland with suicide rates among men at high levels, not sure if that’s partly down to how men feel they should be perceived ( strong/tough). While I understand sponsorship is huge it would be nice to see the club think about who sits on the front of those shirts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 To be fair, the club (and the Trust) already does a fair amount of promotion of mens' mental health and suicide prevention. It would be nice to be in a position where we could turn down a chunk of money for sponsorship, but we aren't a Hearts (or a Barcelona) and don't have that luxury. (I also have doubts about the effectiveness of shirt sponsorship, but that's a different debate - I can safely say, however, I have never used any of the products or services of any of our shirt sponsors ever). There's certainly a discussion to be had about beer or gambling sponsors, but that is a wider social issue. I'm a believer that education and awareness is always much more effective than banning things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Education awareness of how debt/alcohol/gambling can effect the community at large is very important, however, if a club are helping to promote one thing, but doing the opposite this maybe construed as double standards. The front of shirt sponsor at any club has always been the holy grail and far too many sell it to the highest bidder. Although I do understand that for cash strapped clubs the lure of easy money is hard to resist. The current sponsor trend leans very heavily towards the gambling industry, however, in times gone by it would have been alcohol or payday loan companies that ruled the roost. Industries that I’m sure that we can agree that can cause wider community health and debt issues. I see Hibernian have also given up their front of shirt to the Hibernian Community Foundation which has to be applauded, as I’m sure there would have been a gambling company waiting in the wings with a blank cheque.

weeyin Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 If we had a new owner that wrote us a blank cheque to pay off our debt and invest in the club, and we had as many paying fans as Hibs, we might be able to afford that too. I suspect, however, it's a sop thrown to the fans who were led down the community ownership path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect, however, it's a sop thrown to the fans who were led down the community ownership path. It’s not only debt free clubs like Hibernian who do it. Stenhousemuir did it last season when they wore ‘Warriors in the Community’ on their shirts. The Stenhousemuir Supporters' Trust now hold the largest shareholding but profits are not paid to shareholders and directors receive no salaries. So it’s not always down to affordability, it’s about promoting what’s right for the club and the community at large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxx Cash Converters BetPark Alcohol (Scottish Brewers our first shirt sponsor), Gambling industry (Jaxx, BetPark) and Pawnbroking (Cash Converters), are probably our four most contentious backers since it was introduced in Scotland. That’s not to say that their money wasn’t welcome, as without it we would have definitely been much worse off. For obvious reasons, Ian Skelly will always be our most iconic. All sponsorship is open to scrutiny by the fans as the sponsors are effectively being endorsed by the club we finance and support. However, I’m sure if you dig deep enough all our previous sponsors will have a few unwelcome skeletons in their closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
