Goodness me.
Just been sent an email from Hibs that our new main front of strip sponsor is......Bevvy.com
Eh, is this for real?
All fine and well championing it as our highest earning deal but if true, a new low as our front of strip main sponsor.

I don’t see any problem with it. A record breaking deal with a Hibs supporting, Scottish company, and an all-white logo for our home shirt to boot.
The Hibs are oot for a bevy.

I'd rather we steered clear of alcohol, gambling etc. but what is done, is done.
Tbh I reckon it could be a big seller. A strip with 'Bevvy' on the front will have an appeal beyond Hibs with collectors and the like.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

More so than Marathon Bet - who front our cup winning shirt? Or Carlsberg? Or Whyte & Mackie? Or Crabbies? Originally Posted by Hibees1973

I don’t have a problem with them sponsoring us but I’m surprised that what seems like a small company is able to give us our biggest ever deal.

The low was the first season with Marathon Bet, basically a horrible sticker

They’ve got backing from international VC firms including one in LA, they’ll be operating on seed money I suppose. Being a tech startup with Californian VC backing probably suggests some big bucks! Originally Posted by Green Man

Have to admit I'm disappointed we've again chosen alcohol as our shirt sponsor. Along with gambling it's something we should be trying to phase out.
Also, my Dad tried the Bevvy app and it was *****.

Curious as to how they make any revenue though!

I wondered if that was the case, some of these VC firms throw silly money at startups. Originally Posted by Vault Boy

Aye, they’ve got the capital to be able to throw **** at the wall until it sticks. I’d imagine the reason behind the ‘at least two years’ wording in the press release is because that’s all the runway Bevvy can guarantee. Originally Posted by Green Man

If they’re successful in future funding rounds then it may well get renewed.

Doesn't exactly evoke Hibs Class. A dirge on our society. I thought we (football as a whole) was moving on from this nonsense.

As far as I see they aren't an alcohol company but a valuation Co, is that correct. We had Edin Mill on our strip recently without much issue

Seems we are in the minority. Stand by for a few personal criticisms on this thread. Originally Posted by Diclonius

When you see any team jersey on national TV they are immediately associated and branded with their main shirt sponsor. Yes, loads of clubs have alcohol and betting shirt sponsors. But to now have a slang word for alcohol at the front of the jersey is very poor, short sighted, lacks class and is shocking marketing for the club.
Which makes it clear to understand why there is a separate main sponsor shirt for kids.

Has anyone actually looked at the website? Or just making assumptions based on the name? They don’t sell alcohol.

It seems a bit of a niche website to be chucking huge amounts of cash at a football club.
How does it make money? It doesn't seem to sell anything or am I looking in the wrong place?

For what their app does, arguably it's a daft choice of name. Grabs the attention I suppose.

A premier Scottish sports club with “Bevvy” emblazoned across their shirts just isn’t a great look for me.

So many people not even looking into the company before moaning. Its a great app for getting values, and logging whiskey collections; not encouraging people to buy a 6 pack and sit on the curb necking it.
Very good sponsor IMO.

Scottish club with Scottish slang word, generating interest for the paying sponsor.
Sounds like job done to me.

Even as a startup company I’m wondering how they intend to make their dosh? Paid-for subscription access to their whisky database? Very niche! But if they’re paying the big bucks…
