SavageTheBeast Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Could we be changing ground name again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Was wondering that myself....I though it was a 5 year deal with SD.com to include kit supply and Shirt sponsorship. Front of shirt sponsorship is a term I've never heard used before. If true it means more income for the club.....bring it on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most, if not all, of the companies in the drop-down list are part of the SD group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all makes sense now. Certainly a number of those are SD products such as Lonsdale and Karrimor at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Pedant Indeed I am but that wasn't my point on this occasion. Have to admire for what Ashley has achieved but it is very much through the use if what were once high quality trusted brands and somehow producing low quality products using them but retaining a small amount of prestige. An example would be Dunlop which when I took up golf about 40 years ago was arguably one of the premier brands in that sport; certainly its Dunop 65 golf ball had an iconic status. But it was a brand that fell on hard times, I imagine through a lack of investment as it was a small part of a multi-national conglomerate which had bigger fish to fry. Golf equipment produced now using that bnrand is low grade stuff and no semi-serious golfer would tee up one of their balls now - it would be like a professional football club kicking off with a Frido (for those that remember those). I am sure that the same applies to many other brands that are part of the SD world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
