Really suprised cadburys hasnt been on a midlands teams shirt tbh

I do wonder if they try not to get involved because of the fear of being boycotted by other fans ?

They should have thought of that before plastering Chelsea badges on their bars a few years back!

to be fair it would take alot to stop me eating any chocolate

I stopped at Christmas. 2st lost, lower blood pressure and less headaches have softened the blow I have to say.

That is really impressive well done !!  what did you replace it with ?

Ah I see, no worries. FWIW I wouldn't touch that stuff with a bargepole, it's poison.

Didn't have you down as a Pepsi man, Risso. I guess all that money they paid Messi was worth it after all.

As an aside, it's quite funny how many urban legends were created about Coca Cola, almost none of them true. McDonald's and Monsanto also attract more than their fair share. They've all been seen as the big bad at some point.

Basically, any large corporation probably not going to be whiter than white. We could have Jamie Oliver as our sponsor but I don't everything is squeaky clean there either.

As for tech companies, not sure Musk's X or whatever would be an improvement on Coke...

I don't normally care about sponsors/manufacturers, but I'd love, in our 150th year, for us to walk out on the opening day of next season in a Slazenger shirt, with Anusol as the sponsor. If we can't get Anusol I'd settle for Canesten, Lambert & Butler (the post-Villa, post-Suede collaboration that just might have worked), Bwise, Wickes, White Lightning or FineFare.

No sponsor at all would be preferable.

On the shirt, but obviously one in the background giving us billions in sponsorship.

Wouldn't that be great, and a proper nod to the anniversary.

That, or Ansells.

Are there any corporations that started around the same time, from Brum preferably, but I know that’s pushing it.

Banks's Brewery (1875) is about as close as I can get. A.G. Barr (also 1875) if you go further afield with our Scottish connections.

Blues. We could get them to sponsor us.

New sponsor rumoured i.e. Greek online sports betting platform Betano, paying £20 million annually for two years.

Disappointed it is another betting company but £40 mil is not to be sniffed at. Twitter also mention Adidas as the new maker as well.

Betting company or not, that is an absolutely incredible deal for us.
