23/24 kit; is a new sponsor needed?

[alex l]

Annual thread awaiting details and leaks on the shirts. Can anyone confirm if we need a new sponsor for next season? Looking back to when TW was announced, can't find any details over the length of the agreement. Perhaps something which can be asked at the Fans Forum?

[Upside Down]

Yes. Having nothing is better than what is on there now.

[Andy]

I don't like the TW logo, looks cheap and tacky, but I do still prefer it to no logo.

No logo looks crap - and also reminds me of the Leon Best / Danny Murphy days.

It's 1 year deal according to the fans forum minutes in October 2022

Crown paints still in the market….They’re close enough. 
We could get ‘Euro Garages’ 😂

Anything better than actively promoting the next public health crisis.

[Exiled_Rover]

I hope they get the halves (quarters) right this year.

[Gordon Gekko]

Is Macron a 5 year deal?

[Upside Down]

They should just get BRFCS to do the design. 

Ours were the best Rovers shirts since 1997.

I think so (with 3 years left on it)

[Tom]

Eurogarages seems a no brainer but you’d have to think we’ve tried (in our own way) there 

Next season will be Empire Theatre with Ewood Florists on the back!

Couldn't disagree more. The last time I bought a Rovers shirt is when we had no logo as it had a real retro feel to it without a tacky sponsor. 

One of my favorite shirts. 

[Upside Down]

No sponsor always looks the best.

The ones in the 90's were great because they would peel off after enough washes.

I don’t understand why you think it looks crap other than reminding you of those two plodders. 
I could equally say it looks great because it reminds me of the Bryan Douglas/ Andy McEvoy days.

Before my time but I do agree with Andy also they wouldn't look right IMO

Not sure that would fly mate.  I may be out of turn but them guys are from a Pakistani descent and our owners are Indian....not sure they'd want to do business together 

[JHRover]

Perfect opportunity to join forces with a lucrative big name sponsor who will be able to pay a hefty sum for shirt sponsorship particularly after our frequent live broadcasts increasing exposure. Should help with FFP issues.

Then I woke up.

[Mattyblue]

The Issas are of Indian descent.

[AspRover]

I thought the story was that they just didn't like football or something? If so you'd think that would be a positive, something they have in common with the owners.

[Upside Down]

Well I'm really hoping that we'll have proper halved shirts with no sponsor next season. 

Hopefully its one more thing the club can't be arsed doing and they just get @Herbie6590to do it for them.

Be interesting to see if and when we've approached them.  Would be a good logo for the front of the top actually.

Along with this would you accept our reduced budget and therefore likely weaker squad?

[Mattyblue]

Did TW even pay enough to cover Swag’s wages this season never mind that of players?

Don't worry about that, the booming season ticket sales will more than make up for it....
