That's fair enough. What about the pre-season jerseys - they were sponsor-less, weren't they? Didn't seem to be that much of a fuss back then. I'm glad it's got no sponsors on it. The jerseys look awful with hundreds of logos slapped all over it. Folk are making a massive deal out of nothing here. The sponsorship is for every league game, which this is one...it doesn't matter if your glad or not, will you still be glad if the sponsors all pull their backing for the club currently running at about 150,000 because of this. Do you honestly think it's better for the club to stop having sponsors so there jersey I'd prettier in your eyes. Look at every other club in the league who appreciate the money it brings in. At what point did I say that we shouldn't have sponsors on it? I said I'm glad it doesn't from an aesthetic point of view so stop making **** up and take a chill pill. I run a sports club so probably understand the importance of sponsorships more than you think.

The jerseys look awful with hundreds of logos slapped all over it. Folk are making a massive deal out of nothing here. Lets say you are one of the flyers main sponsors, your not on this top or involved at all in the pride weekend, one of your employees who happens to be from the LGTBQ community asks you why you are not sponsoring the flyers during this weekend/game. Not a great thing to hear or have to answer is it, considering you didnt get the choice. Imagine its customers of your business asking these questions. Or worse not asking you but asking others if you or your business has issues with being involved with this event. Kinda starts to look a little worse than just "Nothing" doesn't it. Now throw in the club and their efforts around such a high profile league wide event, Different top from rest of the league, no players involved in media day to promote it no coaches no owners. We have a person connected and part of the staff on gamenight saying it was because the team had training. Really thats it your captain cant attend due to a training session on Tuesday afternoon. so move training or let him miss it. think about that either the owner or our head coach has stopped our captain or another player from going to this event. Bundle all this together and it's not "Nothing" it's all something that puts a spotlight on how we do media and PR stuff so badly yet again. How easy is it to make the replica top for this weekend like the rest of the league and then send our club captain to a media day event to something that for large parts of the community here in fife will be a massive thing. Its was easy to get this right but yet again we have simply gone about this all wrong. How/why our media manager didn't flag this up as an issue is beyond me? And on top of all that, publicly announce that you are raffling off the tops after the game - with no benefit at all to the cause you are supposed to be celebrating! The club have GOT to come out with a statement reversing this or donating some of the monies generated to Pride related causes. Otherwise we should all boycott a cynical piece of profiteering by our club management.

Probably to do with the pub talk answer earlier in this post! But Instead if sitting in the pub, it's probably decisions made in the front office over a diet coke and sugary treats! For example, who thinks we should do a jersey launch in the ice rink where we slap everyone in a freezing cold rink (means they leave quicker) and away from the players (means they don't get pics with their favourites) and we hand Ali and the DJ mikes (means they get to feel important and listen to their own drivel again)...or we could use stix or the place down Kdy high street which we used a few years ago (both being sponsors), put some money across the bar, nice warm environment, players mingle for pics with the fans etc etc... Na that involves effort, go with the first one - zero effort! Picture evolving - *cough* front office involvement again!

There was a tweet or a Facebook post to say that was the reason Carlos top wasn't in the auction

As this bring most money in. Keeping one (Finucci) for the poor folk to try their luck in the SOTB raffle.

PS I'm also a liker of strips without a gazillion sponsors logo's on them. I love the NHL strips as they are clean and kept free from any sponsors. Trouble is our team(s) don’t have that luxury and need sponsors to fill the coffers to exist. Not including them is a massive own goal. If it was my money I would be having a word with them about this. Flyers have went with the cheap option!
