Logos on shirts

[ThaiPie]

I like the new kits this season, and want to buy the third kit. However, I've just read an announcement that "Swan Homes" are a platinum member and will feature on this shirt.
I know the club needs every penny it can get, but is there any chance of getting logo free shirts?

Unfortunately I think not. I loved the sponsor-less shirts we had in 2017/18 - so much nicer than anything we've had since.

In a word No

Sponsoring shirts is a significant expense and as part of our agreement all home shirts could only be sold with our logo on it. I am sure all current shirt sponsors will have a similar agreement.

I wonder how much of a disparity there is between shirt sponsorship deals in L2. Obviously the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool etc. gain a huge advantage on the likes of Bournemouth and Fulham in the PL, but is it worth it in the competitive sense in L2? Could all clubs agree to go sponsor-less, probably sell more shirts as a result and certainly look a lot smarter.

It's not so much the sponsor, but the awful colour of the Logo, especially this seasons shirt

The logo is the same colour as last season ie red!

At least the Forward Pest Control logo was a nice shade of green, unlike the John Pye monstrosity.

Apart from personal pride if you have a local business, I’m not convinced about the sponsorship idea anyways.
Yes, I suppose you could argue subliminal advertising, but in real terms, it’s not “selling” any of their product.
I think it’s worth investigating as a club the amount of profit made on sponsorless shirts Vs amount paid by sponsor for front of shirts.

The sponsorship was not the best financial arrangement I ever entered into, it was made with the heart not the head. I would be surprised if any local businesses made back their outlay.

You would need to sell many, many 1000s of shirts to match the money made from sponsors.
