BEST and WORST shirt sponsors we've ever had.

Palookaville was the best IMO. I had a shirt with them as sponsors on the front - think I've lost it now, seems so long ago since we had them.

You do realise we only had "them" to promote an FBS album, so really it was just an extension of the 'skint' sponsorship?

The whole thing surrounding Skint was so cool. All shirt sponsors have made a contribution to our club, and I am not going to bite any of the hands that fed us by naming the 'worst'.

Best is current one . No doubting who we are with it

Best - Skint

Worst without a doubt Donatellos - real low point made worse by the sponsor being a two bob restuarant in Brighton really did sum as up as the small tme outfit we were back then


This absolutely

so what you and some others on here are leaning towards is the fact that 'The Amex' is a "cool" sounding name for a ground sponsor (as some have put it) but in 5 years time it could seriously go shit shaped. I seriously hope I don't come back with 'I told you so'

Not at all - I am suggesting that Skint was cool. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't make silly assumptions.
 


Although probably not the best name to put on a football shirt, NOBO, I think it stood for Notice Board or similar.
For a small company, two guys distributing the stock from some garages in Haywards Heath is a proper local success story, as Nobo products are distributed world wide by one of the biggest office products companies in the world.

Sandtex was my fave - great to have red writing on a blue and white background, it was big lettering (always a must) and it co-incided with some great shirt designs, including the 'Inter Milan' away shirt.

I know, I used to count it / them as our sponsor though, simply because we were supporting his album. See what you're getting at, though.
