Anyone seen the sponsor on the WBA shirt?

It looks fucking hilarious!

It's a shame aswell, because it's actually quite a nice kit.

Whatever happened to the days when you first saw the new shirt in the back of the Mail being worn by a couple of players.


Yep, no fanfare, no build up, just a picture of Peter Withe, hands on hips, smiling from underneath his skintight Le-Coq-Sportif shirt.

everything is commoditised nowadays.

Or I'm just getting old

Seriously now

I remember when Albion were sponsored by Swan

Any West Brom player who scored a goal in under 90 seconds from kick off would win a Swan kettle?!?!? ( because Swan kettles only took 90 seconds to boil).

What a marketing team at the Hawthorns.

And they were sponsored by BSR for a time as well. Our mom used to work for BSR, making injection-moulded, smoked-glass, plastic record player lids. I'm told that, at the time, nearly half of the world's record player lids were made at the BSR

as you were........

I also remember the days when there wasn't speculation and you didn't know who we'd signed until you saw them on the back of the mail or the sports Argos
