It’s ADIDAS (again!) and KAIYUN SPORTS not MACRON, not BOXT, or UNHCR

I think it’s quite a strong stance really.

We won’t sell our shirt for less than we think we’re worth.

It’s not that nobody wants to, we already know we’ve turned down “multi-million pounds offers”

EM will take it last min if needed and pay £10m

But why are we worth more than other PL sides? Maybe some companies are nervous about being associated with a team/club that may well be relegated. The club has got to be realistic about these things because they are shooting themselves in the foot with this as it stands.

I have to agree, we risk starting to look a bit tinpot with no sponsor. And surely the money goes towards FFP calculations, so I'm not sure we can afford not to have one (that pays).

Personally, no. Would rather it not be a gambling or crypto company. Forest should be able to get a sponsor commensurate with the stature of the club. Frankly I think the BOXT logo looked decent last season. My stance is purely aesthetic (ignoring the obvious financial aspects that are really non of my concern). My position is in modern football a shirt sponsor is simply part of the kit by design and this kit appears incomplete.

It comes down to what you're used to. If you've grown up watching football and the only thing you've known is shirt sponsorship then it will look wrong to you without it. I first started following Forest in the mid-'70s where there was no such thing as shirt sponsorship and when sponsorship came in it looked wrong to me. In fact, when sponsorship first came in it wasn't allowed to be shown on Al Beeb because all advertising and company and product logos were verboten. I like the shirt without a sponsor, it stands out amongst the herd. However, some sponsors look better than others, some are reasonably tasteful and IMO some are are downright chavvy. I'll let you, dear readers, decide for yourselves which is which.

Funny sort of reasons given for having a sponsor, disregarding the obvious financial aspect, which for me is the only reason.

I have always said that I won't have anybody else's name on my shirt except my own. I accept that I already have Forest on my shirt, but I'm quite proud of that. People walk about like mobile advertising hoardings these days with all sorts of gunk on their shirts.

Highly, highly unlikely I know, but if we do have a logo on our shirt, I'd love it if as a football club we were in a position to take a moral/ethical high ground by advertising a global charity such as UNICEF or Save The Children, or given the ever increasing link with football, The Alzheimers Society. Alternatively, a vital local organisation like Framework.

If we were purposely foregoing a shirt sponsor for some reason then I'll be all for it, but we aren't, and the lack of one just makes us look a bit silly

To be fair though if our lack of shirt sponsor is due to an insistence that it not be some betting company / crypto nonsense then I think that's a noble stance to take

Maybe the lack of a shirt sponsor on Saturday was advertising that our shirts are available for sponsorship…..

Let's just get Speedo on there and roll out the Christmas calendar with all the lads in their best swimming briefs.

Ryan Yates will have all the lonely housewives licking their lips and spending double for match tickets.

Our lack of a sponsor is that we value the space at £10m but no brand shares this valuation.

In all seriousness, this is a fantastic idea.

I'm certainty not one to walk around looking like a human human billboard as some like to do. However anyone can see it's in the financial interests of the club to get a sponsor on there. Potential sponsors have already missed riding the initial bump in exposure and interest of us being back in the league. As the weeks go by this is likely to diminish further and thus we become a less interesting proposition.
