I have a question about kit (specifically shirts). So Standard Chartered gives us a shitload of money to put their names on the front of our game shirts. That makes sense. They say "We'll provide your game-day gear if you put our name on it so we can advertise our bank". That makes sense. If we didn't have a sponsor, then the club would have to pay for the shirts themselves.
But why if I want to buy a shirt (either the Nike high end game day shirt or the lesser expensive Nike replica) do I have to have Standard Chartered's logo on the front? They aren't paying me to advertise for them. In fact, I'm paying Nike for the shirt so why does Standard Chartered get free advertising? They aren't paying Nike?
Just one of those things that doesn't make sense to me. I'd actually be inclined to buy a top year in and year out if they would take the sponsor off of them. Just give me the top with the Liverbird (and Nike can leave their swoosh on there as well).
