Ifor Williams deal...? - RedPassion.co.uk

Just seen the positive news, but some comments on twitter seem to have a problem with the size and colour of the IW logo. Any idea why?

Well it's quite large as shirt sponsors go and blue against the red doesn't look great. I personally don't care that much, I'm just happy we have a decent sponsor.

It would be nice if they re-designed their logo, it's pretty horrific, especially on the front of the kit.

Maybe we should redesign our kit and play in a different colour. Just sayin’.

You're right....But let's just put it behind us....

Blue on red gives good contrast, so decent placement for them. I can understand the size thing, though that's an unfortunate thing that the text in their logo isn't in a great proportion to the surrounding shapes - but given their brand is world renowned, it would be unfair to ask them to change it to accommodate their sponsorship of us.

Big brands do tend to have a mono colour logo for use on black or white backgrounds, but their logo usually appears on an metal surface so might make it pointless to have got a mono version created.....maybe we should start playing in grey tones?!

That's just being silly isn't it Alan?

Who cares - good sponsor so will do for me .......

Let's ask a company who's logo has 60 years worth of heritage to change it because some are bothered by how it looks on a football shirt.

Anyhow, well done all for getting this key sponsorship wrapped up so soon, one that's seems to be beneficial to both parties with Ifor Williams Trailers experiencing some very good growth since this deal was first done.

Out of interest they can't be far off being our longest running shirt sponsor now?
