Sponsor Boycott?

[DeKuip]

I just don't want to walk around with a large company logo on me. Apart from the fact they pretty much all make the clothing look ugly, why be an unpaid walking billboard?
I wouldn't dream of wearing, driving or painting anything royal blue either. Not because of which football team wears it but because it's such an awful eye-sickening colour.

I also hate seeing people in football shirts when I'm on holiday. Nobody gives a shit who you are, where you're from or who you support, we're just trying to relax and get away from it all for a week or two.

Philthebar: have you got a radio, and if so, is your house full of Stechford Tiles?

That's going to be stuck in my head for at least four hours now.

Genuinely don't know what you are on about.  Assume some kind of radio advert in Birmingham.  I live in Colchester.

[Percy McCarthy]

Fair enough.

I will avoid a company or product if they are responsible for annoying me such as that Go compare bullshit or those morons at Direct Line etc etc.Genuinely cannot believe these adverts played over and over encourage people to purchase anything from the companies?

All my furniture is from Cousins. I find they're so much more than just a furniture store.

Brand recognition is the name of their game.

I see it worked.

It only worked if their plan was for myself never to purchase anything from them.

The point is that it gets brand awarness and you have heard of them, and now if anyone reading this was not aware them before they are now thanks to you and the advert that didnt work!

Annoying yes, succesful and what the objective was... most certainly

Until reading this thread, I couldn't have told you for definite what business "Genting" was involved it.

I kind of assumed that it was to do with gambling but I'd never bothered to find out for sure.

The word 'Casinos' on the shirt didn't give you even a teensy hint?!

Never noticed that the word "Casinos" was on the shirt.

Didn't Chris Harte boycott all products advertised during the breaks on SkySportsNews (the time when Eastie posts on here)?

Still do. Fuck Gillette, Ford and the like.

Avoiding a company because you don't like the company ethos or their products is one thing, because they sponsor a team you don't like, petty.

If there is little difference between a couple of products then surely it's a duty to avoid the one that benefits a rival team.

Is it only me, or are people really that petty

Yes. Once upon a time while looking for somewhere to live, and to the annoyance of the missus, I refused to even view a house because it was on St. Andrews Road (or Street, or Close, or similar).

And I can be just as stubborn about sponsors.
