Shirt sponsor

[Vinjay]

Wouldn't be a good idea for Ewood officials to use marketing tags like "Blackburn Red Devils" or "Red Devil Rovers". Old Scumford's lawyers would be calling in a heartbeat. Look at their issues with Football Manager and to a lesser known extent Panini Cheapskates.

Can’t imagine there’s anything less likely to happen.

On the subject of the sponsor, did people notice that, on Monday, Rover the Dog only had a navy Rovers T-shirt on rather than the home shirt?

My daughter knows the guy  & he refused to wear the shirt with the new sponsor on it due to his main involvement being with the kids, getting his pic took & high fiving etc etc & asked for a sponsorless one. Apparently they've all got Recoverite on & have to have the block sponsor to cover it, removing the old one leaves a sticky glue residue, so they couldn't give him one. Hence the plain t-shirt. Fair play to him I say!

As a matter of interest how many local companies were contacted regarding shirt sponsorship and how much is it worth to Rovers. Does anybody on here know?

From what I’ve gathered since speaking to people I know about the new shirt sponsor, the ones that are complaining about us promoting vaping have never expressed a problem with vaping before (and having the sponsor on the training gear or stadium). When I’ve called them out on falling victim to their own cognitive dissonance, when in reality they think the sponsor looks hideous and the sponsor name sound ridiculous, they have been stumped.

In short they don’t like the look or the name and they don’t see it as a good enough reason to be outraged so they decide to be offended about vaping companies when they couldn’t care less.

I find it as good enough reason 

It is the brand name. It’s cheap and it’s a Red Devil. Doesn’t suit us and it comes across as a cheap brand because of the products it sells. A perfect combination of crap.

It's a terrible looking logo with a stupid name. I prefer it to gambling sites though, and the local connection just about saves it.

How many other professional sports clubs are sponsored by a company that produces a nicotine based product?

It's 2022.

Some folk in power at Ewood should be in the next series of Life On Mars.

Vaping saves lives. Fact. There’s a lot of propaganda online, which comes mainly from America whose government are shitting themselves over lost taxes and revenue from tobacco.  There’s also a lot of confusion between vaping nicotine and black market THC vaping ‘oils’.

I did say not vaping was better than vaping.

Maybe we could have a health warning on our shirts instead of a sponsor? “Supporting Rovers can be bad for your health” 😂
