    Most kits now look crap, with no Sponsors
    WBA, Leicester Cardiff etc

    Couldn't they find any Sponsors or didn't they want any?

    You think kits look crap with no sponsors?!

    We'd sell far more shirts if we didn't have a sponsor's name on the front.

    but to answer your question, I guess clubs whose sponsorship deals ran out have been having trouble obtaining new sponsors given the state of the economy, companies can't really justify it. I guess that's why we are also seeing clubs "donating" their shirt sponsorship to charities.....e.g. Wendies, Huddersfield

    Looks bare, rather go to shop and bu a plain (whatever colour club it is) shirt and just get someone to sew a badge on.

    Oh well

    seems like the corporations have finally won when people would rather walk around with a big advertisement on their chest and pay for the privilege!
    Then again, I guess it's no different to people who would rather pay £80 for a designer shirt to go out in that has the designer/manufacturer embazloned on the pocket than £20 for one without!

    i think it depends on the sponsor

    ours is okay cos it matches cos it isn't a logo plastered onto the front, it's ust writing. whereas when the wendies had chuppa chups, or the blunts had big chinese letters on, then i'd rather have a kit withut a sponsor.

    They look far better without sponsors

    International kits look much better than team kits for that very reason
