Youth replica jersys didnt have Bet Regal sponsors on them for obvios reasons - out of interest do people think adults should be able to purchase replicas without a sponsor for personal reasons? Say Bohs were sponsored by Maxol, a vegan supporter of CCFC wanting a jersey but advetises clonakilty sausages a few years ago (ladies now) maybe they're muslim. Avant Money and debt, they push the limit a tad imo with their various 0% credit card schemes that jump to 18% at various different times. Pepper Finance as club sponsors during recovery from debt crises with the vulture fund stuff cashing in the most indebted, distressed mortgage holders, refusing fixed rates inerest and different loans on different variable rates etc. Sponsors wouldnt be very happy and it would make things difficult for clubs in that regard but should a fan either be excluded from wearing a jersey or have to wear one that they which is ethically questionably (to the individual or group).
Both a question on opinions, maybe this isnt many, and on where could it end up trying accomodating all sorts of groups. There may be other contentious sponsorship and in this era of sportwashing do people really care if its the difference between a title challenge or not (if the quiet thought is no then it holds to the point that a lot more needs to be thought through to have any impact), is it just saying the right stuff but not really feeling it, motivated by potential publicity maybe, I dont intend to belittle the serious issue behind this thread but if fans dont have a say on what is on the players jerseys maybe small increments like choice on replicas is a place to work from.
