K3Scotty Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Having read Craig Cook's twitter response, As I see it, the reason he didnt sign a contract(with the previous promotion) was because of the issue with sponsorship logo's...But he seems to contradict himself saying that he had not originally signed a contract because of this, and then saying that he had discussions with the previous promotion and understood that he would be exempt from this....But the "contract" wasn't changed to reflect this......What contract?........He said he never signed one!.....So am I right in thinking that the sponsorship logo issue was implemented BEFORE Buster Chapman took over the club? If so, I think he has tried it on and Buster was having none of it? If the logo rule was put in place by the previous promotion, Surely he can't have a case to argue? Or have I read it wrong?? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Regarding Tv advertising how many times during the season will Cook feature in a Tv fixture,more likely to be about points money or up front payments IMO.Every rider has his Sponsership on their suits ,the colour contrast surely has to be suitable to highlight the Sponsership does it really matter if it’s company colours as long as you can read the Logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really matter if it's sponsors colours? You bet it does 100%. Think of an airlines that's orange - EasyJet Think of a chocolate that's purple - Cadburys Why do you think companies copyright? Of course it matters. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on the most positive optimistic supporter I know and they have managed even to piss him off. When I spoke to Ged the other week he seemed close to tears over what was happening, now we know why 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bringbackHalifax Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Anyone else notice 3 different suppliers of the race suit. Different shade of red on Hans, different black at top of arms. Still looks professional and could have enhanced peoples view of speedway and therefore any sponsors logo. Still believe Buster is trying to create a surplus of riders to drive down costs for promotors. Still believe Cookie on a mountain of cash from Glasgow and GHT. Way more than in the premiership. He will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 What I find interesting it’s the same promotors trying to implement this rule on sponsor logos that refused to put Sky Sports logo on team suits and bike covers unless extra money was given yet were quite happy to already take the league sponsorship money and tv rights money. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree,personally i think for instance with Peterborough being predominantly red if i was to sponsor them i would want my name in white.Easily seen on a red background.You only have to look at the sponsorships on football shirts and many of the writing on the shirts aren't actually the colour of the sponsors writing.Again for instance Etihad airways sponsor Man City writing on the shirt is black,Etihad airways is gold,Standard chartered(Liverpool)on shirts white but they are actually blue and green,Fly emirates are on Arsenal shirts in white but they are actually red.So you can see many big companies are happy to get there names out there in which ever way it can be seen the best.So many use white writing because this can be seen best on many backgrounds. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other riders race suits look good. I can't see why that's not good enough for Cookie. He seems like he is sticking up/backing his sponsors in his statement, but then says he will ride if they put his money up. If they had agreed, is it not sod the sponsors then ?

IainB Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 4 hours ago, Rob B said: All the sponsors are in white including team sponsors. The only team sponsors are on the torso which is usual place.Looking at the riders they have all their usual sponsors in the usual prominent places like arms and legs etc. They are also wearing their own caps so what Craig is saying is incorrect. Looks like somebody is colour blind or has turned up at completely the wrong p&p day! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a sponsor for over 10 years I would not be happy with my branding and company logo being in colours other than the ones I always use and endorse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
