Do you really want to be associated with that company. Popular companies for Man Utd. for example; We'd end up with either of these or worse still CHANSIRI emblazoned across.

Stick an ADIDAS or NIKE motif on this seasons current shirt and people would be going mad for it. My mum used to say stuff like that when she told me my Nicks trainers were as good as Nikes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowl Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Yeah but won't be that sponsor, or manufacturer, or badge and if we go down we'll probably play in lilac. But yeah sure totally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damianb1 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Love the shirt, personally would keep the Chansiri name on the shirt but preceded by 2 words, the 2nd of which is off. Now that would fly off the shelves! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 What I would say is this Imagine we brought out an Adidas kit Now let's say that excites fans in a more positive way than an Elev8 product by let's say just 5% That's 5% more positive Now - let's say we revised our ticket pricing, we did some amazing promotions to bring friends, re-invite lapsed fans, we got rid of the word 'megastore' on our shop and threw away all the tat it sells and replaced with absolute quality stuff and Adidas tops and merchandise and sorted out the online shop so it looked, felt and operated in a really cool innovative exciting way, we sorted out the matchday catering by building some new facilities on the Kop at the very least, and we brought in local brands and companies like Bere's, Twisted Burger Company etc Let's say we did that and each one added even just a 5% uplift from the fans in terms of perception, positivity, buy in, credibility and professionalism All over the club you'd be having loads of little wins like that It would all add up to one big big improvement in 'perception' of our club Perception is how you build trust in a brand, how you get buy-in, how you build PRIDE Build pride and trust and you don't just sell more Adidas shirts, you also sell more burgers, beers, memberships and tickets If you do none of that and just bring out an Elev8 shirt then.... 4 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely better without names emblazoned across the front, though I suppose we will need a sponsor(s). Would prefer a sponsor that has a little bit more money than this one though Edited March 7, 2021 by bobness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
