All Blacks jersey sponsor

Snowy

I have nothing to back that up.

Ideally they should be looking for sponsors with either a small logo, or no more than 3, maybe 4 letters...

Air New Zealand is too big to go on the front of the jersey.

Some of NZs biggest companies....
Fletcher Building - too long
Fonterra - too long
The Warehouse - too long
Kmart - yeah nah

If we look bigger...
maybe a big Apple would work
Amazon - too long
Microsoft - too long
Johnson & Johnson - too long
Visa - do they still sponsor the Pumas?
Nike - oh wait, Adidas....

I'm not sure a NZ company will be willing to foot the bill? Does Vodafone sponsor any of the big players right now? Emirates? A large financial institution like HSBC? Better run it by Greta first.....

Well I am not being too serious with the above, but the logo/name size will be an issue, despite the mis-givings about AIG, the logo sat well there...but HSBC do the 7s, would they be willing to stump up more cash for the ABs...

Machpants

@taniwharugby ANd maybe they won't want the logo and we can go to a clean shirt...

YEAH RIGHT

Vodafone is the same as Vodacom, right? They sponsor Super Rugby in South Africa, don't they? Also the sponsors of the Bulls.

Vodafone (who can't spell and shouldn't be allowed to parent anybody) are the parent / majority shareholder in Vodacom.

The size of the name doesn't really matter if the sponsor is Silver Fern Farms with a logo like this:

.

I suspect we need to look at an international sponsor though; most NZ companies are probably too small.

Big companies with a short name:
AEG
AT&T
UPS
Ford
BP
3M

Just go to Amazon.

Then we can buy the best players in the world, the NPC will be the world's best 2nd tier comp, and all the good kiwi players will stay home. Amazon can steam the whole thing on their new service.

I look forward to Semi Radradra, Liam Williams, and Sinkler playing for BOP.

@Stargazer Ford already sponsor the ABs, so probabl yhave had the chance to be a jersey sponsor, but the step up in cash?

DHL seem to like rugby too, but thier red & yellow logo on Black

@mariner4life didnt NZR investigate the streaming avenue, and given they recently re-did thier contract with SKy I expect the streaming thing to make squizillions from Bezos wasnt viable :man_shrugging:

maybe they thought Bezos was a Cantab and just dismissed him on principle?

Sell them a behind the scenes hard knocks style show as well

@canefan those Tour shows Ric Salizzo used to do were god fun, but I dont expect they'd be as good with current tours and the sanitised versions NZR would require.

The report claimed the package could be offered to a major United States investor, or a Japanese advertising agency, which could then on-sell to companies wanting their names on the New Zealand teams' jerseys.

Yikes. Could this mean that the ABs will no longer have a say in what logo goes on the jersey? Will we see jerseys with ridiculously big names at the front, in horrendous colours and fonts?

Why would you jump to that conclusion?

Stargazer

@Kirwan Don't you k now the difference between questions and conclusions?

You made a judgement in order to ask the question. One not substantianted by anything in the article.

Seems ike a kneejerk reaction to me.

Stargazer

@Kirwan I don't have to substantiate anything if I ask questions. People have to substantiate answers. No kneejerk here.

Righto.

Good talk.

Might be avoidable you know. We are a LONG way from getting rugby back here IMHO. Likely not this year.

Means lots of exposure / tv right etc to NZ which will raise some cash.
