Terrible logo on the kit, IMO - as bad as Qatar on our kit

Nope, it's even worse than Qatar. Chevrolet is a shit company incapable of running their own business withhout continuos government bail outs. I predict this will be a very short term sponsorship, perhaps similar to Vodafone when they pulled out early.
 
It's not that bad. I can see myself buying the home kit. It is the away kit that is absolutely shit. Giant gold logo on a cheap looking white shirt.
 
Let's be honest. It's fecking hideous. The massive chrome/gold cross in the middle is a fecking aberration. Can''t remember the last time a United strip had such an ugly bit of graphics on the shirt, never mind something so large and centrally placed. The least they could have done would be to do it in white, the chrome and gold colouring is vile.

Mind you, I couldn't care less. Will never buy or wear one and so long as I can tell the teams apart, then I'm ok with pretty much any strip.
I can only guess you didn't see any of the leaks? I felt exactly the same when I saw the first few leaks but as time has gone on and I've gotten more used to it, I find the logo far less visually offensive and actually quite like the shirt now.
My girlfriend made a good point about the advert, where Rooney says that kit will always be for us (can't remember the actual quote)

But it was quite funny that it was a scouser saying it
I thought the exact same thing. Should have let Welbeck say it in his Manc accent (I'm aware he isn't as marketable as Rooney but it'd been nice for sentimental reasons!)
 
Apparently LvG's head was photoshopped onto Moyes's body for the kit poster :nervous:

Really? The least they could do, after paying a record amount of money, is use something other than their official logo?

I really don't understand why anyone would expect anything different. That's their logo. They paid to have it on our shirt.
 
To be fair, unless you are familiar with Chevrolet's logo/branding (which a lot of our supporters weren't) you wouldn't know who the sponsor is. That looks like an ambulance rather than a racecar. Or something Swiss related.
The word "CHEVROLET" under a plain white outline version of the bow tie might have been a hint, though.
 
I'm surprised the shirt still doesn't look the proper athletic fit even when the players are wearing it. It looks largely fluffy on the body and Welbeck is the only guy it looks better on. I expected it to look a lot better on players like van Persie and Kagawa who are naturally lean.
Up there with the gayest posts I've read on here yet.

Their official logo is fecking rank, then. They need a re-brand.

Anyway, all big companies have a range of different versions of the logo to use in different contexts. Someone already posted a less garish version, used on a race car they sponsor (see below). Would have looked far better than that chrome and gold eyesore. It's in the interest of the club and the sponsor to have a shirt that actually looks nice, surely?

The Chevrolet guys have messed up with the logo . It should be lower down , given the "who ate all the pies" shape of the average male the logo will disappear between the beer belly and man boobs when you sit down.

The gold cross isn't a great logo but I guess I will not notice it if the guy wearing it is holding the premier league trophy aloft.

:lol: I think GM have bigger problems than the Chevy logo right now.

Is that not some kind of motorsport division or something?

The official logo as per their company branding, website, every car they sell etc etc, is the gold bowtie.

Besides it's all subjective anyway. I quite like it.

Well yeah, obviously. And by all means, I agree that would look the best. But, that wasn't the case for the examples presented in the post I replied to. It was sans-logotype, symbol only, which doesn't ram the message of 'Chevrolet' home enough to the eastern markets that we are targeting right now.

This is north korea level of bad Photoshoping..how can a club of our size not get an image of Van Gaal against a green screen and get in the image... I mean Moyes's body, wtf.

Yeah, but the guy you quoted wasn't suggesting just the white outline bowtie, it would have been that in place of the gold and the writing still included.

Who cares? 99/100 people are not going to know the difference. I doubt you would have known either unless you were told.

Aha. Now we get to the real issue here. Your abominable taste in clobber :p

I wasn't told, it just looks bloody dumb and there is no need for a club of our size to do it. 1 green screen and a photo and its done

Half the heads in the whole picture probably dont belong to the body attached
 
Up there with the most homophobic posts I've read on here yet. Good of you to assume someone who cares how clothes fit is immediately gay.

My thoughts exactly. "Someone commented how clothes fit, he must be gay". What a tool.
 
The "SHARP" thing is just a skewed nostalgic preference. It looks just as good with just the word CHEVROLET. It's the big yellow cross thing that's the problem.

Tbf, I actually really like it in the Welbeck pictures.

Yeah, although I didn't actually say that, and it was only a joke.

What a tool.

Would you guys have been this bothered if I'd just quoted the post in the Gayest Posts Of The Week thread, that used to be a bit of a light hearted laugh? When did the Caf lose it's sense of humour? It seems to have been infested by a group of whiney little bitches who can't take a joke these days. I'm homophobic because of a light hearted post. feck me.

And no, that's not an offer.
