This crowd would be ideal if they had the dosh. https://www.unai.com

Same ethos as well.
"Unai is a bespoke software consultancy focused on taking complex problems involving enormous datasets and creating clarity and insights"

Seems we have signed a deal with devil according to the Telegraph.

3 year deal with BK8 who Norwich ditched after 3 days after their tweets were linked with sex sites.

So yet, there has been no clarity on this sponsor.
I don't believe this BK8 is a confirmed playing jersey sponsor.
My research has led me to find they have 3 deals with Palace, Burnley and Huddersfield.
The contract  with Villa rather than sponsor our playing kit might be that they are our worldwide betting partner, which means they have a presence on the stadium's advertisements, like the deal at Crystal Palace , or they sponsor the training gear, as they do at Burnley  or the women's playing kit as they did with Huddersfield women.

My Prediction would be that BK8 will not actually be the front sponsor of the men's playing kit

I can see Chris Heck making a commercial deal for Villa front jersey sponsor with an established brand with American links if not a general worldwide brand.

I hope you're right, Footy. The logo on Smirker's mock-ups looks horrific.

Aston Villa have agreed a multi-year partnership with BK8, which sees the brand join as the new Principal and Front of Shirt Partner.

Urgh.

Yeah, I was hoping for an all-white logo but it looks like the 8 and crown will be orange which will clash terribly with the claret and blue.

No mention of what they actually do in that release. Almost like they’re embarrassed.

The club’s third kit, which will be unveiled later in the summer, will see BK8 make a contribution per adult third shirt sold, to a local charity in Birmingham. The move comes off the back of BK8’s previous work over the past two years, working with charities and programmes involving mental health awareness and this initiative is the first of what will be a number of collaborations with the Club.

"The club are delighted to announce the partnership with these shady bastards in a desperate attempt to wring every last penny before the rule changes on betting sponsorships"

Shyster Gambling Company, They should be ashamed.

I note with interest that the old badge remains ever present.
