City & Sports Brands

[Citizen Green]

Question, do you find yourself becoming more ‘loyal’ to sports brands affiliated with City, for example buying more non-City Puma gear as a result of our partnership?

Conversely, do you find yourself avoiding other brands because of their links to our rivals?

Me for example, always liked Puma’s casual clothing but wasn’t big on their football offerings, since they backed City publicly in 2020 when we were banned by UEFA, I have found myself liking their offerings even in football.

I didn’t by anything Sharp for decades.

But when work were offering a 25% discount off Vodafone, I didn’t think twice about signing up.

Guess I must have mellowed/ grown up at some point in between.

I liked the fact that City had their kit made by the locally based Umbro for decades.
But when they fucked us off for united, led by Kenyon who got a job at the shithole as a result, they were dead to me
We’ve never had Adidas have we?

Only in a negative sense for me. Never had sharp in the house. When Vodafone signed with the rags talked my cfo ‍ into switching the government agency multimillion deal to ee

Don't think Ive ever bought something based on their links to City (apart from kits). Or refrained because of links to other clubs.


Tend to buy brands on experience, necessity or reviews.

Not so much brands but the only time I've had red on any clothing is when I've been sparked out. Not sure if it's the same now but like someone said, no blue would buy sharp at the time. My older brother did pass me down a Sharp video once. Got a porn vid entangled in it. Was too ashamed to take it to get repaired because it was full of sharp shit(true story). Platt lane, Loyde st, somewhere round there. Can't remember. Might have been Rusholme. When I think about it, none of my mates, bar one, you guessed it, been once for an England match yet his wardrobe is full of the snide red shit, wear any kind of red unless it's a small part of the clothing. Even my veins look blue, just a pity the shit that's in it. Self harming gag there but won't go down that road, same with shitting blood. Can't remember what the fuck thread was about. Champions.

Yes. I started buying Puma stuff for the gym when City signed up with them having never previously worn Puma.

I sacked off Bet365 and signed up with MarathonBet (but now they’ve gone) when they came to City.

Also, I don’t tend to buy owt related to United or Liverpool. And I don’t wear red and neither should City!

 

[Stuuuuuu]

I definitely avoid Vodafone and Sharp (do they still exist?).

I would be happy to buy Puma but I remember reading about them being supporters of Israel's state terrorism unfortunately, so I won't be buying any City shirts (not that I would for £100 anyway).
