The motto is hideous.  I really hope it's a fake & we have more class.


I'm sure there are people on here who are more qualified to talk about this then me, but am I right in thinking that you can't have tag lines on Premier League shirts.

Obviously, there's a difference between sponsorship and advertising. Am I right in thinking that having the tagline therefore makes it an advert?

A quick trip down memory lane can't reveal any other team using a tagline...

I think it depends if its part of the logo and hence a trademark.

I can recall Crystal Palace having 'Fly Virgin to LA', which looked a million times better than this shoddy effort.  It's fake.

It might be fake but I think what is being photographed is real rather than manipulated.

The logo and the slogan will be two different marks.

Incidentally, I've never been able to find our current badge on the register, so I assume its not a TM.

The logo is straight but the badge is wonky

Confirmed on OS now.

FxPro - could it be a subtle hint to MON from Lerner to start thinking about buying players from European and South American markets?!

Great that we seem to have secured a good deal, but even better, we have continued our links with ACORNS as our official charity. Indeed the OS talks about ACORNS and FXPro already working with each other

Bye Bye Acrorns.

Was nice what we did but we couldn't keep it going forever.

Don't blame the club, it's business time for Randy.

I'm delighted the link with Acorns will continue but I think this logo will kill shirt sales.  One of the reasons for buying the shirt with Acorns on it was pride in displaying it, as it was to a smaller extent perhaps with Rover but certainly not with DWS.  I feel FxPro will become just as much a joke.

I thought the reason most people brought the shirt was because it had AVFC written on it?

Exactly.

Aslong as the shirt sponsor isn't something really shit then theres no worries.

My friend didn't buy the 32RED shirt as he was a Muslim.

There you go.

I can't help thinking "Forex" sounds like its a contraceptive.

Am I the only one?

While that's true, I did buy the home shirt 2 years because it had Acorns on despite it otherwise being almost identical to the previous few years. I don't think I'm going to bother buying this years (unless there is some drastic change done to the home shirt which judging by the last few years doesn't seem likely)
