New Sponsors announced: Intuit QuickBooks

[Quiet Lion]

I hope not, FX Pro was better than that.

[aev]

FX World - are they the ones that have got involved with Eddie Hearne / Kell Brook?

If so, they are erm, underwhelming.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Let's not be too quick to judge, perhaps they do special effects for films and television...

[OCD]

How long do we have Macron making the kit for? I've hated this season's kits.

[PeterWithe]

As soon as I read FX World I thought of Juarassic Park, that would be a brilliant sponsor, and safer than Alton Towers.

Still, look on the bright side.

Someone whose family made their fortune by the extreme marketing of debt and credit cards (and anyone with an MBNA card will know all about this) owns a club which is sponsored by a company which encourages currency speculation, the name of which will be on shirts made by 12 year olds in sweat shops, in a league the main sponsor of which was a notable contributor to the recent financial meltdown, covered on television by a company largely owned by someone whose newspapers are into hacking the phones of dead teenagers, playing in a sport governed by a body which currently is being revealed to have a moral legitimacy as laughable as that of ISIS, which is organising its showcase tournament to play in a rampantly homophobic totalitarian state in 2018, and one which, incredibly, is even less desirable in 2022, on account of them having paid most money for it, and is building the stadiums using slave labour who have an annoying habit of dying, but are easily deprived of the most basic human rights, the whole tournament to be sponsored by a collection of brewers, Russian oil companies whose owners stole their wealth from the Russian people,  and credit card companies who have somehow managed to look the other way not only whilst all this shit goes on, but over the last several decades whilst FIFA were busy engaging in financial racketeering.

Given that, misgivings over the shirt sponsor are just the tip of the iceberg.

Love this quote thank you for summarising everything that is modern football.

To the barricades comrades!

That's a bloody good read.
Thanks paulie.

Quite brilliant.

Ooh you tease, the link doesn't work.

OK it does now.

That is clearly done by that graphic designer chap who pops up every year with shirt mock ups at about this time.

See the drop shadow, for example.

[pauliewalnuts]

Incidentally, I think that'd be the best Macron shirt if it looked like that, but they'd put loads of fussy shit around the neck and make the shoulder logos too big and ruin it.

[The Left Side]

It looks like the collar from the first Nike kit we had.
