I was at the club shop today (25/7).
There is no VR branding anywhere. Not in the shop, not on any replica kit - nowhere.
I had the CL badges put on a shirt and there were no options to have VR or Betano included.

Thinking about it, there is no value in having Visit Rwanda on the fans shirts is there ? They aren’t trying to raise awareness to sell anything to the ordinary Joe.

The value for the VR lobby is having their image in full HD during televised matches.

Is there the possibility that fans shirts will always be logo free and only the players shirts and stadium advertising will reflect it ?

This thread led me to check out the H&V Facebook group. Pleasant bunch.

I always like whenever someone ends their post RANT OVER like that adds anything.

'It's just my opinion' is a favourite of mine after a rant. Yeah, no shit. 'You have yours, I have mine' - yep, that's usually what happens. 'I just say it how it is' - do you now? Well done.

“I just tell it like it is” when they’re justifying being incredibly rude and/or racist is another favourite.

Yeah, it's rarely said after something not bigoted.

To give them their credit, they know what I'm thinking before I even thinked it. It must be what I think, because they sayed or wroted it.
