Well, there goes any hope of a good looking jersey with a big yellow box on the front of it.

given we are the greatest club in the world and current champions, anyone else underwhelmed by the lack of a household name?

IMHO I think we have really sold ourself short for many a year, we should be courting Emirates, Qatar airlines, Samsung, Vodafone, Zanussi.

These guys have marketing budgets of billions, fair enough if we have but failed, but I very much doubt it.

Hard to say unless we know the figures involved really, a sponsor we have never heard of may well be willing to pay more money than a big name. I can hardly see Samsung etc falling over themselves to throw decent money at sponsoring a Super League team. Whether the logo looks good on the shirt, or whether the fans have previously heard of the sponsor, should be irrelevant.

Not being a petrol head I have to admit to not having heard of them. But if they supply the motor industry it stands to reason the bosses at Prestone must know some high ups in the car business, a few invites to these folk to a match, maybe at the Nou Camp for example might get them interested in future sponsorship deals.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

They were part of the Honeywell "empire" until we got out of that business, and Honeywell are a massive company.

It still baffles me why Heinz won't sponsor Wigan given their standing in the community

They appear to be an American company. Does that mean we will be playing a home game in Texas sometime soon?

See my previous post, three back.
And yes I hope so.
Austin, Dallas and then onto Nashville sounds good to me.
