Shirt Sponsor / IQONIQ

Post by MrAlex »

Just spoken to somebody at the club and IQONIQ are no longer the shirt sponsor (why is why there's no sponsor option in the store). No IQONIQ shirts have been made, but no announcement yet about if the whole sponsorship has been cancelled.

There are talks with a couple of companies to take over the shirt sponsorship.

Given no-one seems sure of what it was they where trying to sell its not a huge surprise if the deal is cancelled

It’s barmy that sponsorship.
They have sponsored loads of different sports teams including F1 but don’t have the app they are selling set up.
It made no sense at all.

I noticed a few weeks ago the iqonic shirts were taken from the Wigan shop and wondered if this was the case.

Complete and utter shambles but no doubt Lenners will be defended by his faithful followers, I believe that's two companies that have gone tits up while being our sponsors, Time for the club to start trying to bring in big name sponsors instead of obscure ones

Not a lot of posts from them on social media over the last 6 months which is not good for a tech company.

Looks like they are in financial trouble or they are having issues with developing the app.

To be fair to IL and KR, plenty bigger sporting clubs than us have been caught out by this. Hope we have got money up front for any merchandise that we have produced with their logo. or we could be in for a double hit with no sponsorship money and merchandise with a discredited sponsors name plastered all over it.

On a brighter note, the 150th year shirt looks better with no logo and Barcelona didn't have a sponsor for years after every other club had one as they thought the shirt was too iconic to have a brand name plastered over it.

One thing we can’t argue is that our top will look iconic…

I believe that a Japanese car manufacturing company showed interest.

If that is true then that is the calibre of sponsors that are needed in SL and If true and Lenners pulls it off then I shall apologise for calling him out

Latest....once a shirt sponsor has been agreed fans will be able to have any new sponsors logo applied to their shirt.

Mecca Bingo all over again. What is wrong with these people!,
