Is this that optimism I've heard so much about?

The mock up of the sponsorship looks much better than that first publicity picture. I'll be interested to see how they actually look on Saturday.

Yep, they look much better. I think the club said at start of season fan's forum they would put sponsor logo on replicas when we got one.

Yep, they did. They also said they would sort out the delivery issues to NZ.........that hasn't happened yet either......good job I didn't hold my breath eh, Gus


Have to say, if the team can squeeze a couple of wins out of what's left of this season and Gus can beg, borrow or steal some column inches and PHOTOS of that shirt into the press, then we could be looking at a paying shirt sponsor for 2013 and beyond.....positive news and a pretty big organisation as well.....I repeat
well done everyone involved

Great news indeed.........the choice of sponsor should please the hardcore fans.

Did we get as many awful puns when we had that completely inappropriate WIN sponsorship?

It wasn`t that bad.........it`s just that Selco gives us a lot of material to work with......boom, boom, tish

laying a firm foundation..........

We announce this afternoon that we are also supporting for the rest of the season the Charity "Joining Jack" and the logo will be added to the shirts from this weekend.

"Joining Jack" was formed after Jack, the son of former Broncos player Andy Johnson, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy; a devastating disease for which currently there is no known cure.

Joining Jack raises money for research into DMD in the hope of one day eradicating the terminal disease"

A great Charity to support and all one Idiot! could say on facebook is he would rather have heard about new players! the negativeness of some is just beyond me at times.

The world is full of idiots! But the club are doing good things this week, ignore the idiots and praise where praise is due!

This deal is humiliating. A few weeks left of the season and we are celebrating like this is the second coming of Christ.

WHY has it taken months to get a shirt sponsor? WHY has it happened now? WHAT benefits are we getting from this?

Utterly pointless.

Listers back from the pub.

A few quid I guess.

Some money better than no money

I wish. Tonight however



I bet Selco have got this deal for an absolute pittance. I have never known any other sports team get a sponsor for a few weeks of the season only. If this ran into next season, I would be pleased. But short term deals like this are pointless, we will be back at square one in only a couple of months.

Now Now Listy...


Selco are probably getting this for a song, but it's easier to sell 2013 sponsorship when you can show the prospects pictures of the 2012 sponsor. As for why it's happened now, they have just opened a new branch locally and are also looking to expand up norf......for about 10k they will get an idea of the impact a SL shirt has......make no mistake, we will be the cheapest SL shirt to buy into by a fair stretch.....the real value is in the away games.

...I still say that the club should have sold their name like the Warriors over here...they are constantly referred to as the Vodafone Warriors. It should have been sold when the name change was being discussed......another lost opportunity IMO.

As it is, if the club move, as most expect they will, every company in the region they move to should be contacted with a view to sponsorship and/or corporate hospitality.......that's once the club replace the marketing and commercial people let go this year



Gus can't be expected to do it all on his own

We have pretty much done every other topic to death so lets talk shirts for next year.

Hopefully we will be able to retain Selco as a sponsor on an extended deal. GF is perfectly right that we need to get shirts sorted for next year nice and early, and in the shop/available on line for Xmas.

IMO the shirts this year have been dreadful and I hope we drop MKK as our supplier. I don`t have a problem with the colour scheme, but the quality, fit, material and that appauling neck line have been terrible. I made the mistake of buying early (will never do that again) 3 lots of home and away shirts for self and family (6 shirts in total) and never put one on my back......ended up buying suitable polo shirts instead.

The MKK shirts must be the worst shirt in SL in terms of value for money. If we leave it to the club to come up with ideas for next season, we all know it will be yet another unmitigated disaster. Some on here are pretty good with doing mock-up designs (I don`t know how to) so lets get some ideas on the go, or we will only go into next year with a load of old tat again from MKK.

I think we have to stick with Black and Sky Blue long term. Would like a black shirt with sky blue V.

Same colours, different sport, but these look pretty smart. Same sponsor would probably help too. www.castelli-cycling.net/2011-te ... ersey.html

Front view is ok..........but back is a bit odd what with pockets etc......mind you perhaps we could tuck the ball in thereicon_smile.gif

They speak [size=150=#0080FFSUCCESS[/size as well. Something we could do with a bit of.

Cycling shirts are a completely different garment & product! I don't think you can really compare! of course Adidas will always strive to achieve the best, but for me the whole jersey business be it football or rugby has gone stupid some of the designs current are just constant rehashes of former products, it seems they are out of fresh new ideas.

One thing is clear when you try on one of say the Great Britain Under 24 jerseys from the 90's which I have from the player, they weigh a ton, though look good still.

Think we should stick with the colours, I bet we are tied into the current manufacturer for more than just this season.

heard our sponsors advert on Talk Sport today

Of course, they are "a completely different garment & product!". You surely didn't think I was proposing that we wear cycling shirts? !
