@Hooroo said in NZR and AIG to part ways:
remember the screams of pain when AIG was going to be on the AB shirt.
I think we will miss that small emblem.....
Professional game. Given millenials are playing netball where you can run with the ball, perhaps they won't need the millions...
-
signalling the end of one of international rugby’s most successful partnerships.
Woulda thought AB/Adidas would have been considered a bit more successful, 20 years last year...
Have to assume they (NZR) have someone else lined up to take over, wonder what thier Logo will look like on Black!

i, for one, would like to thank AIG for using their American Government bailout money to ensure we won the 2015 world cup. thanks champs!!

Good riddance
(although the money was no doubt handy)

Ideally they should be looking for sponsors with either a small logo, or no more than 3, maybe 4 letters...
Air New Zealand is too big to go on the front of the jersey.
Some of NZs biggest companies....
Fletcher Building - too long
Fonterra - too long
The Warehouse - too long
Kmart - yeah nahIf we look bigger...
maybe a big Apple would work
Amazon - too long
Microsoft - too long
Johnson & Johnson - too long
Visa - do they still sponsor the Pumas?
Nike - oh wait, Adidas.... -

Well I am not being too serious with the above, but the logo/name size will be an issue, despite the mis-givings about AIG, the logo sat well there...but HSBC do the 7s, would they be willing to stump up more cash for the ABs...
-
@taniwharugby ANd maybe they won't want the logo and we can go to a clean shirt...
YEAH RIGHT

Vodafone is the same as Vodacom, right? They sponsor Super Rugby in South Africa, don't they? Also the sponsors of the Bulls.

Vodafone (who can't spell and shouldn't be allowed to parent anybody) are the parent / majority shareholder in Vodacom.

The size of the name doesn't really matter if the sponsor is Silver Fern Farms with a logo like this:
.
I suspect we need to look at an international sponsor though; most NZ companies are probably too small.
Big companies with a short name:
AEG
AT&T
UPS
Ford
BP

Just go to Amazon.
Then we can buy the best players in the world, the NPC will be the world's best 2nd tier comp, and all the good kiwi players will stay home. Amazon can steam the whole thing on their new service.
I look forward to Semi Radradra, Liam Williams, and Sinkler playing for BOP.

@Stargazer Ford already sponsor the ABs, so probabl yhave had the chance to be a jersey sponsor, but the step up in cash?
DHL seem to like rugby too, but thier red & yellow logo on Black
@mariner4life didnt NZR investigate the streaming avenue, and given they recently re-did thier contract with SKy I expect the streaming thing to make squizillions from Bezos wasnt viable

maybe they thought Bezos was a Cantab and just dismissed him on principle?
