tbh iv never heard anyone "dissing" their sponsors, and most of the time sponsors dont give out free stuff, just discounted stuff :)

still.... they dont get full retail...

effectively if companies did not sponsor at all... everyone would have to pay for kit :p and companies would earn more money!! lol doesnt it seem strange for them to give away/discount stuff that they could sell for a profit??

Thing is though; the companies WANT people to wear THEIR products. If no one sponsored anyone. And then a new company decided to sponsor some top teams. Then their product would be more visible and would also be associated with success if the teams performed...

Just think how many kids out there are ***zing themselves over buying JT stuff; I bet a lot of it is down to Dynasty...

have to disagree, we are sort of supported but in return we do what we can to support in return. we got a great kit deal, and now we are trying to get the supporter better known.

You talking like the team owes the sponsorer something.

Not really as the company is onyl giveing discount and probely still making a bit of money but the extra money that isnt being earned which is going toward sponsering is an advertising asset. There getting advertising for the money lost so in effect paying for advertising on players and equipment.
