Sleeve sponsorship deal done - JD Sports.

[T soprano]

Not looked at any posts on this thread but I bet it's full of loads of people moaning about us having a little JD sports logo on our sleeve...it is isn't it... I knew it

The Amex shirt sponsorship is estimated to be worth £1.5 million a year, not sure when it expires though, it was originally announced as a 'multi-year' arrangement. Probably a bit low given the current market conditions (a small club such as Palace, with new sponsors, is supposedly on £6.5 million, for example).

Sleeve deals are going for about 20-25% of the main deal, so that would give £300-400k, but I would expect the club to squeeze out a bit more than that.

Thanks. Roughly equivalent to the ticket income generated from 4 away end sell-outs then.

Lulz on the spelling and content.

If anyone is going to be buying garish, ill-fitting, sponsor-festooned acrylic tops, it should be Albion fans. Chance would be a fine thing.

I guess they know their market.

Did JD Sports have/had a similar agreement with AFC Bournemouth?

OMG, He walked straight in, saw what he wanted and put them in his bag.
Someone scream for a policeman, he's a shoplifter.

Am I the only person left alive that thinks any sponsorship logo anywhere on a kit is is wrong and looks shit?

I can't believe we have WHORED ourselves out like this. This is just the beginning of companies treading all over the pure roots of our club.

I tell you what, I am not going to be happy this Saturday at the American Express Community Stadium. I will probably hold a protest during the added time sponsored by Watch Religion.

Not the most attractive logo but I really don't care. It won't make the slightest difference to the way we play.

It's great for those who love to criticise our shirt designs, though! It wouldn't matter what the logo looked like or who the sponsor was, they'd have their post written before the shirt was launched.

Nope. Except Milk. I'd like Milk.

Quite right! Let's dispense with sponsors and make TONY pay for everything!

Would have been better if their logo badge was the same size as the PL badge on the other arm.

When I fell in love with the game, Brighton were on their 77th successive year without shirt sponsorship, we seemed to be doing ok at the time.

(I appreciate I'm pissing in the wind with my outlook, but hey, I'll say it anyway)

Means JD sports will have our shirts in their stores then shirley?

Have they got a Croydon branch?
