Stolen from facebook. Newcastle have announced 3 new sponsors for next season, an oil company, a fashion outlet & an international delivery company. Their shirts will read TOTAL FCUK UPS
Old hat this joke, considering it's totally interchangeable. In any case, our current sponsor is funnier but I guess the irony of "Northern Rock" becoming the epitome of failure and instability is lost on you. You'll have the last laugh when we have this on our ****ing shirts next season... please log in to view this image
Just want to say tho - to my shame - I think the blue star motif you used to have was pretty damn cool......................
That and the Brown Ale badge. I don't think I've ever witnessed a better sponsor on a footy shirt. It felt cool to be wearing it!
Brown Ale is the only beer I actually like the taste of. I will admittedly drink owt with a gravity content tho
Am I uber old fashioned to say I prefer the times when shirts didn't have sponsors? I know its a money thing, but I wish all shirts were still pure. I remember a time when top clubs (some of them) didn't even have badges on! Us, manure, etc. Sigh.............
Yep, me too, I'd be far more inclined to wear a shirt that wasn't sponsored. I can't stand garishly branded clothing. Why people walk round with "Henleys" or "Bench" wrote all over them in massive yellow writing is beyond me. The same goes for Northern Rock or Tombola or pretty much any sponsor you care to mention. I wonder if shirt sales would increase to the point wear not having a sponsor would be justified.... Probably not like but I'd buy them more often.
