There you go , straight from the horses mouth...however I imagine it would be company dependant regards attitude towards it , and don't go sticking logos on something said company might not like to be asscociated with ...

Like you probably wouldn't want to go sticking a Planet Logo on a Liverpool top ...or a gas chamber.

Well, there is the word from planet. However logos are a company's intellectual property and reproduction of them without consent could actually amount to copyright infringement surely?

Besides how much of a poser do you need to be to add logo's of companies that don't actually sponsor/support you to your jersey. Possibly one of the lamest things I can think of...

Yes as mentioned, the Planet Eclipse Gas Chambers will be released shortly so please refrain from doing so :)

*Please note this is a joke, before I get emails tomorrow asking for prices*
Reckon the Planet Tech Team could come up with the Eclipse Dialysis Machine? portable enough so you can play and be treated at the same time lol!!

Well that is one way of seeing it..and u do have a point..but have a think of the main reason why sponsors put their logo on sponsored team jerseys..the main point is to advertise their company and show that they are supporting the related team..by putting the logo on ur own jersey wouldnt it mean that u support the company enough to actually try to promote them as well..? I'm just thinking..by no means am I trying to debate this topic.. :D

If you're set on the idea all I can suggest is that you contact the companies in question with details of who you are and what you play and let them know.
The worst case scenario this way is that they request that you don't, best case scenario they are impressed by your loyalty to the brand and offer some form of support, even if it is just small discount on gear.

Personally I think it's a terrible idea, that'll prevent your team being taken seriously and discredit you to other potential sponsors/supporters.

To be fair though, PB is one big ego trip where people love to act the pro (not specifically aimed at you guys), pretending they're sponsored when in reality their 'deal' amounts to a small discount that most industries would probably refer to as some form of loyalty or bulk discount.

Show people you're serious about the game by training hard, progressing your skillset and winning games, by all means build a relationship/dialogue with those that you'd like to one day support your team.
Join their facebook fan pages and upload pics of your team in their gear, tell them how much you like their products and let them know how you get on.

But let them decide to support you, dont try and make that decision for them.

My opinion on the subject at least...

Mmmm..yea..thats a good point..but i think u might have misunderstood..i'm not actually doing it..its just a discussion thread..i was just wondering what do ppl think about it..whether its allowed or not..my mind wonders a fair bit especially random topics like these..haha..i'm pretty sure someone somewhere would probably have a same thought..gotta admit its a pretty interesting topic.. :D

To be honest buddy, it's irrelevant whether you're planning on actually doing it or not, even if the scenario is hypothetical I believe my comments still stand.

Also I am by no means trying to have a go, just voicing my opinion on the matter
