HoylandOwl Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I know there's loads of clubs do this, and we've done it before in having a back of shirt sponsor... Doesn't sit well with me us having a betting company on there. But, not my decision of course. https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2024/august/09/owls-announce-back-of-shirt-sponsor/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer it if betting and online companies weren't the sponsor but I ain't going to get on my moral high horse about it either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it was almost inevitable at some point that it would happen, it doesn't mean that we can't voice our disapproval if people are disapproving of it. The club do so much good in the community, have made some great moves over the years, just don't like this one, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway Chuppa Chupps could lead to obesity and rot yer teeth.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I know of..I'd guess the club has got wind of the amount of people on twitter and a certain other fansite giving it the big one about "sticking it to chansiri" by buying cheap knockoff shit from china. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De rigeur for that site. Official statement is entirely reasonable barring perhaps the bit about wearers at home matches potentially being asked to leave. Official merchandiser issuing warning against fake copies. Fair enough BTW I saw the odd snide away shirt last Saturday. Odd rusty orange - not a great look IMO especially when seen against the superb genuine ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s loads of em who have put out things about it in the past, Liverpool, Rangers, even Motherwell and our neighbours. Most of them are like this from Stoke, under the banner of ‘brand protection’ https://www.stokecityfc.com/club/club-information/brand-protection/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowl Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 So Wednesday only doing what many other clubs do Its the fact there are threads pointing where to buy knock off products - that would piss me off if I owned IP I mean the fact folk have the nerve to go to the Club shop to request the name and number added, but they question the morals of the Club My request is the term WAWAW is not permitted anymore - because lets be honest a good chunk of our fan base are right ***** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
