    Sponsors

    With the news that Cinch are ending their sponsorship of the SPFL early, it got me thinking about sponsorship in general.

    Just for the giggles, who be the funniest/most ironic/least appropriate sponsors of which Scottish teams (and why)? Best answers get 10 imaginary points.

    Personally, I'd love the announcement of 7Up being Hibs sponsor. You'd smell the seethe from across the city....

    Not Scottish but still cracks me up that Napoli have Armani as their kit supplier/sponsor yet have eBay on the shirt as one of their shirt sponsors 🤣.

    Rangers decided to sponsor Queen's Park.
    Pritt sponsor St Mirren (one for us older folks)
    If Asda's fashion brand sponsor Hamilton.
    If the International Gorilla Conservation Programme sponsor Clyde.
    And if the Hawaiian tourist board sponsor Alloa.

    It's mental that none of the middle East riches has made their way to Dundee Utd - So I'd like to see Emirates sponsor The Arabs

    The Castore brand association with one of the most murderous Nazi groups ever must be an outright winner for the people running that business and looking for new customers.

    Maybe they will be okay with the huns tying them to this sort of publicity and imagery, especially if they are only interested in the blue, sectarian pound.

    A Waffen SS banner

    The skull image was also used by the 3rd Panzer Division of the Waffen-SS.

    In 1940, they killed 97 captured British soldiers in the infamous Le Paradis massacre.
