VW to sponsor Sydney Swans

[RSwag]

Ha ha ha, Skoda announce they are pouring all the marketing paso's into a club that in real terms won't even exist for another 12 months and five minutes later VGA announce they are now the official sponsor/partner for the Sydney swans.

Nothing like a marketing pissing contest to show who's boss hey!!

I don't see how either will lose. VW has a higher profile and bigger budgets and they would have needed it to support the Swans. Skoda are still not well known and now a lot of people know them even though the team won't play yet.

VAG/VW/Skoda all will be visible, it doesn't matter whether the teams are crap.

Seems VW are following Skoda again!

Can't argue with that.

Depends on how much they paid for the privilege.

Sponsorship on their shorts? Who pays attention to the shorts sponsor? At least Skoda's logo sticks out like dog's balls everytime you look at a player.

You see its just VW targeting the gay community again. (not that theres anything wrong with that)

Assuming you forget that VW had their logo on the balls and all AFL games for a number of years.

I think they are both wasting money, your average football bogan fan is still going to drive his Falcodore, no matter who sponsors what.

They are sponsoring AFL not NRL and whilst what you say might be correct for NRL (I have no idea whether it is or not) it certainly isn't true for AFL and probably says more about your biases than it does about supporters.
