Joking aside. I imagine the Chevron logo would look ugly on our shirts. Especially if using the real Chevron colours. The red would not match and there would have to be a white border around the whole logo to make it visible which would aesthetically ruin the look.
As far as I can recall they've always been just one single colour on our kit. Not sure how they can make the Chevron logo single colour. Unless they leave the logo completely off and just put the name. Update:. I'm wrong. Google has plenty of examples of monochrome Chevron logos. If Chevron is OK with going monochrome like SC did, it could work
Is Chevrolet even a presence in the UK at the moment? Why not Vauxhall or Opel? Seems weird United being sponsored by a brand that doesn't even exist in UK anymore... A bit like they're saying none of the fans are really British...
Tbf, I guess most sponsors of big English teams know they’ll be seen more in China and Asia than in England. So if Chevrolet is big over there, or hoping to be, then more sense to sponsor United then to sponsor a Chinese team.
I was joking. Obviously Standard Chartered, whereas an English company is far bigger in Asia/Africa. And Chevron, despite being a global company with European headquarters in Britain is far bigger in America than UK. Do you have Chevron stations there? I don't remember there being any.
Over here they're mostly know for their petrol stations. Not as big as BP or some of the others but still well known and most cities will have one. Usually a cheaper tier of petrol station than BP or Shell. They also do lubricants like engine oil and such. They own Texaco, which you might have heard of too, and is probably bigger in the engine oil/lubricant arena than the Chevron brand.
That's what I mean. They abandoned their traditional logo: please log in to view this image on our kits in order to better suit our colours.
I must be missing something. Sky are going bananas over this Ronaldo free kick v Norwich. The commentator was going crazy. As far as I can see he hit it at the middle of the goal with power and the keeper just pushes it in? They’ve even got a which was better comparison to a free kick he hit in old united days against city where he hits it down the middle of the goal and given takes 2 steps the wrong way then palms it in? Only comparison i can see is awful goalkeeping and neither free kick were actually very good?
Stolen from elsewhere.... Richard Keys is an out of touch, dinosaur of a presenter, that was once, the new best thing when SkySports was launched and in it's prime for his straight talking opinions. Then him and Andy Gray embarrassed themselves into being sacked, and Keys has spent all that time since being sacked, saying some of the ****ing dumbest and ****ing ludicrous things trying to stay relevant. I can't believe it myself, but I am gonna post something he has said, since we knocked City out of the FA cup, which is something I would have expected him to say in his heyday at Sky, something that he has actually nailed, got spot on, and something that as a red fan, has shocked me enough, to post.... 'Mirror mirror….who is the greatest coach of all?' 'It was the wicked witch in Snow White that first asked the question - and she never got the answer she was looking for. I got to wondering this weekend what that same mirror would say to Guardiola were he to ask. I don’t think he’d get the answer he - or his cheerleaders - would expect either. I’ve got a feeling the mirror would say ‘right now - Jurgen Klopp’. 'The more you think about it the more obvious it becomes. Klopp is at the peak of his powers. His team are 11 games from immortality. He’s built a club back from hopeful - into powerful. 'How good were they at Wembley? For 45 mins sensational. For the second half - competent and capable. Only for a couple of minutes at the end did they get anxious. They have the look of a team that believes anything is possible. ‘Anything’ might yet be an incredible quad. I still don’t believe it’s possible, but if City blink they’ll be all over them in the league. Thats the one that’s out of Liverpool’s hands of course. 'Liverpool’s CL s/f draw is perfect. If City make it to the final as well I know which of the two teams will be more wary of the other. Liverpool’s ‘power’ is more impressive than City’s ‘passing’. It’s the final we all want. Bring it on. 'Klopp oozes class in his interviews. I really don’t know how he does it - one after the other - very often with the most banal line of questioning from reporters. But he gives the same time and courtesy to all. The same can’t be said of Guardiola - who still looks at inquisitors like they’ve got dog **** on their shoe if they have the temerity to ask a ‘football’ question. You can see his mind working ‘me - talk to you about football? Don’t be silly’. 'Klopp is the opposite. You get the impression he’d talk all day if he had to. He reminds me so much of the man who built Liverpool - Shanks. You couldn’t stop Bill talking football. Looking back it’s sad that we guys at Radio City (Liverpool) used to try to avoid driving him to games when he did our co-comms because he’d make our ears bleed. So sad. What a disgrace really. 'I’ve said this before - Klopp has made a far bigger impact on Liverpool than Guardiola has on City. Far bigger. Guardiola is still only winning what Mancini and Pellegrini delivered. Klopp has made Liverpool attractive enough to be able to sign the very best in the world. But he doesn’t. He keeps buying bargain gems and turning them into the best. And I thought that was supposed to be Guardiola’s strength? 'Foden is one that Guardiola has managed beautifully and he’s carefully matured him. But where are the others? City have got one of the best academy set ups in the world. They’ve got their pick of the best talent - so where are they? There’s nothing behind Foden. 'Surely there’s a proper centre-forward at the club somewhere? There’s got to be. If there isn’t somebody should get fired. Why isn’t he - and City fans will know better than me who it is - banging Guardiola’s door down and demanding a chance? 'An U23 c/f has got to be a better option than Grealish? Or Sterling. Or Foden. Or any of them. I repeat - the decision to buy Grealish - made no sense at all. He’s not a ‘City’ player. He slows things down too much. And I’ve seen no improvement in him during the time he’s been working with Guardiola. They needed a centre-forward. They still need a centre-forward. As Andy said Saturday, as we watched Jesus miss that glorious chance second half, ‘Kane would’ve scored that’. Those are the small margins that make all the difference - maybe only once or twice a season - but they make the difference. 'Of course Guardiola is a top coach. His record says that - but he must be desperate to win the CL at City. It was the only job he had to do when he was appointed. So it was in Munich. I guarantee he’d take it and put the league down if that was the choice. 'Klopp is the one nurturing talent as all He’s brought one bright young thing after another into his side - Jones, Williams, Kelleher, Elliott - and they reckon there’s at least another six on the cusp. 'Right now Klopp is the master of all he surveys. He’s the best. Of course, there’s a few twists and turns left in the season yet - and it might all go horribly wrong for Liverpool - but I’ve got a feeling they’re edging towards something very special.
