Superstar Tradesman Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Can anyone slating the sponsor actually name something great that JVC did for our club that ADT didn't do or TR won't do? It's a fucking company giving their money to our club to help them stay afloat for fuck sake! Bring back JVC? When was the last time you bought anything from JVC?! Load of moaning about nothing if you ask me. Quote

mizer Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Looks better in these pics http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/1b/52/0,,10284~3691035,00.jpg[/img] http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/1f/52/0,,10284~3691039,00.jpg[/img] Team Recruitment Chairman Terry Allan explained the rationale behind the move, "We've been involved with the Club for many years as corporate clients and box holders and this was something that was always on the radar, both from an emotional and commercial perspective. Our organisation underwent a major restructure a couple of years ago and since then, we have been working with this in mind. I think the problem with having a recruitment agency come from pertemps sponsoring a few temas from tinky towns across Scotland and the UK. This company looks quite decent and is for permanent jobs not a temp agency. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I expect I will too, didn't really like the last one much. Quote
BrownyBrown Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 I don't really get to attached to my old strips. There are guys walking about in Dnipropetrovsk and Madrid with my last two Dons tops on... Quote
BigAl Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Pretty happy with it to be honest. Got to say never heard of our new sponsor, but they've obviously put their money where others haven't been prepared to do, so for that alone good on them Quote
Dandy_Don Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Team Recruitment have had a board to the left of the away dug out (as you look at it) for a long time now. Quote
Goldie03 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Fucks sake you guys are quite opinionated today aren't you I don't know how you can possibly tell how much you are going to like it judging by a photo Quote

I don't know if Bree Olsen would be a good ride or not but the vids and photos would certain suggest as much. Quote

glasgow sheep Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 It's cheap and nasty that is all Quote
El Padre™ Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 It's cheap and nasty that is all Bree Olsen? Quote
CtS Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 Is this Bree Olsen bloke the star striker we've been promised? Sounds like a useful cunt. Agree with the comment about the away strip, it would look much better with the badge and sponsor black. But even if the strip doesn't strike fear into the opposition, surely the two superstars wearing it will. Quote
10menwent2mow Posted June 11, 2008 Report Posted June 11, 2008 ach it looks ok, I've never been a fan of white away jerseys so will probably buy the home kit. This has to be one of the most bizarre debates ever "a more prominent company will make more people buy the kit" I'm sorry, but that takes the biscuit for me. I'm sure loads of people go down to Old Trafford to buy the latest AIG top that just happens to have the Man Utd crest on it for the kudos that they'll get for having an AIG top. Supporters have a loyalty to their football club, not the sponsors (unless the sponsors are going to provide incentives to buy they're product/service) Who here has invested money in Abtrust, has a JVC home stereo system on which they listen to Northsound Radio, while looking out their Living Design windows waiting for the Atlantic Telecom phone to ring (insert something to do with A-Fab here) safe in the knowledge that they are protected by an ADT alarm system??

chunk Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 "a more prominent company will make more people buy the kit" I'm sorry, but that takes the biscuit for me. I'm sure loads of people go down to Old Trafford to buy the latest AIG top that just happens to have the Man Utd crest on it for the kudos that they'll get for having an AIG top. Supporters have a loyalty to their football club, not the sponsors (unless the sponsors are going to provide incentives to buy they're product/service) When I raised that point, I was more meaning people that are not Aberdeen supporters. In the same way that you see people walking around in shirts from different countries here, this can happen the other way around (though probably on a smaller scale). A more recognised sponsor may lead to the shirt being more easily recognised and thus more demanded (if the product itself is of a suitable style/standard). It's nothing to do with kudos, more about the recognition factor that can come from being associated with a high profile brand. The Man U example is clearly a world apart from us. They will sell millions of shirts regardless of the sponsor or style, because they are Manchester United - though I do expect more fakes are sold than genuine tops, but that's a totally seperate issue. Quote
10menwent2mow Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 In our case it doesn't really matter because the kit can only be bought from official club outlets anyway (I think) it's not like it's going to be appearing in sports shops worldwide. Football supporters are still going to be attracted by the brand (the football club) as opposed the brand (the sponsor). I can only speak for myself but I could name several club football tops from around the world by looking at them with the kit and team badge and not that many by the sponsor alone. Quote
stoney Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Looks awful - apart from last years top the nike tops have pretty much sucked cock Quote
Sweetchuck Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 I think the Nike strips by and large have been great, particularly the home top from 2006-07 and the white away top (2006-08). They've certainly been a cut above the Le Coq Sportif and Puma efforts from the preceding years. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 I agree. Just take a look at that new Hibs top. Quote

They've certainly been a cut above the Le Coq Sportif and Puma efforts from the preceding years. All my nike tops have fallen to bits - would be lucky if i have a had a season where one has made it through without bits hanging off (apart from last seasons which i thought was pretty decent quality) Quote
Sweetchuck Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Mine are fine; with the exception of the one with the ADT logo, which I don't really give a fuck about anyway. Even then, it's the logo and not the shirt which has failed to stand the test of time - the quality of the shirt itself hasn't been a problem. How often do you wear it, and what do you wear it for? Y'know; going to matches (I presume not), 5s, just out and about? Quote
stoney Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 just when im exercising in general - so each top would probably get worn and washed twice a week! The best one for durabilty would probably be the gothenberg remake one - gets worn twice a week and theres not a thread out of place yet! How olds that top now about 5 years maybe? Quote
