Kappa new Principal Partner

[Brazilian Villain]

And at least it's not some random Far East dodgy betting concern.

I hope you're not insinuating that Far East betting concerns might be dodgy.

I imagine Cazoo have paid a bit more in exchange for their logo being on more of the clothing range. Wonder if they've paid more to have exclusivity on the shirts too, seeing as how there's no 'official sleeve partner' this season.

Hope so, no official sleeve partner is a good thing, the less clutter on a shirt the better.

I'm pleased it's nothing to do with gambling too. Oh, hold on, it's a used car website!

I don't think second hand car addiction is quite such a blight on society!

More that buying one is such a gamble, no?

This. I’ve always thought we’d end up like France with sponsors literally everywhere!

If it means a decent amount of money into the club then I couldn't care less if we have a sleeve sponsor tbh.

I for one welcome our new car dealer shirt sponsorship overlords!  They say that all cars have a 150 point check, are serviced and have an MOT where appropriate, and all come with a 90 day warranty and break down cover.

Good enough for me!

A bit annoying that all the training gear now has a sponsor logo on it. Over the years i have tended to buy the training gear t-shirts as they aren't ruined by sponsors logos, and IMO don't age as quickly.

Have a nice selection of Nike, UA, and Luke training gear with just a Villa badge, i think they look better as training gear, i.e wearing them to the gym, running, cycling etc', than a football shirt.

Indeed re the gamble. And agree with being happy with them. Especially as its something new and a bit different. Let's hope we don't curse them.

Good to see such opprobrium for betting industry sponsors.

It is consistent with the Lerner years, when there was such outrage on here at taking hundreds of millions of pounds from a family which made its fortune from ruthlessly marketed and targeted predatory lending.

I've no issue with gambling, I do it myself. However, the grip it has taken over the game is of concern.
