Only thing I don't understand is why chose the quarters wirh the white Cross rather than the 4 quarters version. I recall at the time very few liked the cross element, including me but I still bought one. However it is a Broncos shirt & not a revamp Fulham shirt so that has to be good.

I've asked club for an ETA on shirts with sponsors so let's see what they say. Speaking of sponsors, Seeen PLC burnt £8 million last year on an income of £2 million and with just 8 employees. That's some loss for an AI company.....literally sticking clickable ads into a YouTube video is hardly rocket science. The 8illion loss represents and increase from a 3 million loss the year before. You Boy Films is a one man band out of Stevenage......nice spiel but not a lot of substance. Their "we work with" brag sheet doesn't transfer to their balance sheet. I'd be stunned if either of these firms are spending a penny with us.... Dragon Soop. Hmmm....logo can be seen below SEEEN logo on the sleeve of the away shirt in the video? Either we have a huge deal to announce or we've not got one at all like last year and will end up with a transfer hastily added at the last minute... Hate to be wrong, but I see very little revenue if any from sponsors this year and personally I'd rather have a local garage on a 3 year deal to cover us in the 2nd tier than a blank shirt with a transfer option come July in ebbsfleet

So no major sponsor, every game live on tv.Not sure if the sky contract has anything in it, but why not contact TNT sports or discovery sports and see if they want to sponsor. the front of the shirt.A 80 minute advert every week on the oppositions network would I am sure bring in something like £100k easily, even 50k is better than nothing.

It’s crackers and it’s worse than that: we have no local sponsors either. Local shopping mall appears to have bailed as well. Really bizarre and concerning. We weren’t knee deep in sponsors when we were last in the SL but even so. Something ain’t right.

One bit of positive news, I sent pics of the away (but really home) shirt to all the former members of the DC Posse & all loved it as for most was their first Broncos shirt. Having said that, they would only buy it without sponsor logos.

Email from seriosaboutrugbyleague.com today had a bit about the new shirt. Article ends

Begging for sponsors this late in the game is not a good look. I'm not sure of the legal ramifications, but it could be argued that IMG have directly impacted our ability to generate revenue by effectively relegating us back in October.

IIRC for the first three or four seasons as Harlequins RL the club did not have a front of shirt sponsor. There was the Sports Cafe top right, but nothing in the middle.

I remember one season we had a company called 'WIN' as a front of shirt sponsor, can't recall any others though.
