Adelaide United - General Issues and Discussion

[ChillyPhilly]

My tip is Foodland or Drakes.

Adelaide officials remained tight-lipped and wouldn’t confirm the name of the company but a spokesman claimed the sponsor was a recognised and reputable brand which has had huge success across Australia.

I don't think it's Foodland or Drakes.

Hope Veolia stay involved.

IGA is my guess, although that's based on nothing.
I'd say given Joe Borelli is still part of the AU board as far as I know that would say that Veolia are still going to be part in some way.
From what I hear it's lucky Joe brought in Veolia when he did otherwise AU wouldn't have had a front of shirt sponsor then.

IGA have had corporate boxes in the past, it'd make more sense though it's "history steeped in SA" is a bit disingenuous as Foodland were bought out by IGA's parent company.

Anyway, as long as it's lucrative who cares?

I'd like to see Veolia remain if for no other reason than their logo looks a lot like the A-League trophy

Bet you the club are real happy with this one....

Can't view because I'm blocked - can you explain?

Val revealed the sponsor before the club could announce it

[EdDog]

That is a great sponsor though.

[mcjules]

Yep happy with it, as long as there's good money!

It's not the greatest looking kit. Although the HAL kits may look different. But I think they'll grow on me. But anything that gets the club closer to financial security looks good to me!

Yeah the kit looks pretty plain but so was our FFA cup winning shirt so let's hope we can have the same success in it!

[EdDog]

Kit looks horrendous.

It's just a stock kit with logos.

And IGA doesn't blend well because of the different colour reds.

But it's still great news and I look forward to the HAL kits being better.

Thats obviously not going to be our kit for the season, similar to the year we won the cup where we just used the generic template with logos. In saying that, hopefully the actual kit has a more proportionally sized logo, and gets rid of the stupid two shades of red between the logo and actual shirt

Greg Griffen at the presser:

"Over the last five years we’ve built a sound economic base, we’re one of two profitable clubs in the A-League and we’re very proud of that."
