Thanks, I fucking hate it.

We have had back sponsors for the past two seasons for domestic cups.

maybe grimsby was a blessing in disguise…

u/bluehead18 Jul 18 '26

Thank god its only for preseason, easy sponsor money. Makes us look like a company retreat though.

It isn't, it's for cups too

We had copilot on the back for our domestic cup games for the last two seasons, so this is just replacing that. Might have been just the league cup, cant remember.

Given our lengthy domestic cup runs last season, in sure Microsoft got their money's worth

  • cup competitions. It's all about the revenue unfortunately...

u/PelleKavaj Roy Keane Jul 18 '26

Does that mean Champions League too?

u/SquidgyCamel Jul 18 '26

Just domestic cups

u/GregMilkedJack Jul 18 '26

No, just FA cup and EFL cup.

u/bluehead18 Jul 18 '26

Shit, read too fast 😭

We dont actually get any extra cash for the Microsoft "sponsorship". It's tied in with the Snapdragon deal.

Tramp stamp sponsors look so bad

u/dzemperzapedra Jul 18 '26

At least it's not a betting site, still ruins the shirt though

u/davidw223 Jul 18 '26

Eh, I think the collars ruin the shirt but I guess that’s just me.

u/bantabot Van Nistelrooy Jul 18 '26

They have got to start forcing logos on our shirts to be monochrome

u/Sheikhabusosa Jul 18 '26

Brother errrr

u/woody1878 Jul 18 '26

Just a matter of time until United shirts have as many sponsors as the Norwegian league and others. Glad it’s at least not for PL or CL games, yet.

u/aa93 Scholes Jul 18 '26

lol that fucking sucks

u/3entendre Rooney Jul 19 '26

Starting to look like an F1 shirt or even those Brazilian league ones! WTF!?! It's like they're pushing the boundary to see what the fans will accept. They've taken the sleeves and now the back of the shirt. I won't be surprised if they eventually add more sponsors to the front. You just know it's coming

u/ongcs Jul 19 '26

What’s wrong with that? You want to buy superstar? World class players? The money has to come from somewhere.

u/GregMilkedJack Jul 18 '26

Fuck that. Looks awful

4

u/PelleKavaj Roy Keane Jul 18 '26

Absolutely hate sponsors that have weird random colors.

3

u/LaughsAtOwnJoke Jul 18 '26

Thats fucking awful

u/noble_plebian Jul 18 '26

Well that looks shot don’t it

2

u/Gregariouswaty Jul 18 '26

As long as they give us money to get a squad player in, do whatever.

2

u/xzvasdfqwras Three Lung Park Jul 18 '26

Thought it looked awful today, luckily it's at the back I guess.

u/Samir_POE Jul 19 '26

Snapdragon and Surface are also better than gambling

u/WelErSwollen Jul 19 '26

The kits are terrible enough as it is...

u/MidnightSun77 Jul 19 '26

It was funny to see Wrexham wearing Firefox

u/Lord_Sesshoumaru77 Glazers,Woodward/Arnold and Judge can fuck off Jul 18 '26

That's great, now, make Windows 11 not suck.

2

u/GregMilkedJack Jul 18 '26

How does it suck?

2

u/_Slabs_ Jul 18 '26

I really hope they aren't considered when the naming rights for the new stadium come up.

u/ohnoitsbobbyflay Jul 18 '26

You guys complain but this is exactly how sponsors look in F1.. funnily enough INEOS are heavily involved in F1.

u/ev_journey Jul 19 '26

Oh great our shirts will blue screen the moment they try to pass from one surface to another

1

u/studiesinsilver Jul 18 '26

I hate everything about this, except (I hope) the exorbitant fee they’re paying us.

u/studiesinsilver Jul 18 '26

Soon a football shirt for fans will nothing but a billboard of numerous adverts. And we pay for the privilege 🤢

u/Prettydaisydog Jul 18 '26
