Glasgow Rangers

[Chester Drawers]

In a semi drunken stupour last night I watched the highlights of the Chumpions League ... can anybody shed any light on why Glasgow Rangers shirts has their sponsors (Carlsberg) blacked out?

 

[Djmiles]

My guess would be advertising alcohol at sporting events is not allowed? Or maybe even advertising alcohol full stop?

Anyway, what self respecting person would even THINK about buying Carling anyway?

You are not allowed to use an alcohol company as a sponsor in France.

True but Liverpool are sponsored by the same company.... I dont think Ive ever seen their shirts blacked out ....

I know that there is a regulation afoot banning "booze" slogans on childrens replica shirts which will affect 5 football teams (Liverpool.Everton, Rangers, Celtic and Hibs) along with a number of Cricket/Rugby teams but cant see that this has any bearing....

I thank you ... I can sleep easy at work now .....

So we should see the same thing when Liverpool play Marseille sp? later on in the Chumpions League

I'm suprised Carlsberg haven't come up with an alcohol free beer which they can put on the front of shirts in France

 

[Djmiles]

Could have sworn it's Carling

Could have sworn it's Carling

Liverpool is Carlsberg
Rangers and Celtic both Carling

 

[CHAPPERS]

Liverpool had theirs blanked out a couple of years ago.

Buxted are sponsored by 'Top Deck' and they had to black the logo out when they played against High Hurstwood, due to local laws against the advertising of ultra strong stingo.

Will The Albion have to black out 'Skint', if the club becomes RICH??

No worries there then

great 'loophole' idea

plenty of 0% sold over here. Holsten and Moussy are the best. Barbican and Bud are OK. EFES is rank

Sorry I did say "In a semi drunken stupour last night" perhaps I should point out that Im still in it ....

I didnt know Rangers were sponsored by Carlsberg but I do know and whats more Im off to the pub at lunchtime to get myself a pint .....a genious piece of marketing

 

[Tooting Gull]

I'd like to believe it is the 'France ban' reason, at least that would be understandable.

But I see the hand of Heineken, who have poured tens of millions of official sponsorship money, being quite happy not to support Rangers on this.
