Still looks professional and could have enhanced peoples view of speedway and therefore any sponsors logo. Still believe Buster is trying to create a surplus of riders to drive down costs for promotors. Still believe Cookie on a mountain of cash from Glasgow and GHT. Way more than in the premiership. He will be fine. Money is one thing but he needs regular racing to stay sharp. There just arent enough Championship meetings to do that. CC will have to wait for early changes required elsewhere in the Premiership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagrag 704 Posted March 27, 2019 What I find interesting it’s the same promotors trying to implement this rule on sponsor logos that refused to put Sky Sports logo on team suits and bike covers unless extra money was given yet were quite happy to already take the league sponsorship money and tv rights money. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think of an airlines that's orange - EasyJet Think of a chocolate that's purple - Cadburys Why do you think companies copyright? Of course it matters. Don't agree,personally i think for instance with Peterborough being predominantly red if i was to sponsor them i would want my name in white.Easily seen on a red background.You only have to look at the sponsorships on football shirts and many of the writing on the shirts aren't actually the colour of the sponsors writing.Again for instance Etihad airways sponsor Man City writing on the shirt is black,Etihad airways is gold,Standard chartered(Liverpool)on shirts white but they are actually blue and green,Fly emirates are on Arsenal shirts in white but they are actually red.So you can see many big companies are happy to get there names out there in which ever way it can be seen the best.So many use white writing because this can be seen best on many backgrounds. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He seems like he is sticking up/backing his sponsors in his statement, but then says he will ride if they put his money up. If they had agreed, is it not sod the sponsors then ?

I must admit i wasn't sure if it was blue or black,must put my glasses on next time.But one thing is for sure it most definitely is not the sponsors usual colour of gold. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 4,993 Posted March 27, 2019 4 hours ago, Rob B said: All the sponsors are in white including team sponsors. The only team sponsors are on the torso which is usual place.Looking at the riders they have all their usual sponsors in the usual prominent places like arms and legs etc. They are also wearing their own caps so what Craig is saying is incorrect. Looks like somebody is colour blind or has turned up at completely the wrong p&p day! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a sponsor for over 10 years I would not be happy with my branding and company logo being in colours other than the ones I always use and endorse. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why won't Cookie. It can't be loyalty to his sponsor's because he said he would still ride if Buster would make his money up.

His example of Coca Cola is a really bad one. Take football for example, there is countless sponsors that have to change their sponsors logo colour to tie in with the shirt design. The Coca Cola logo is white writing, but you wouldn’t insist on a white logo on a white suit for example. As I’ve alluded to previously this is probably a cost saving measure whilst looking very smart too. More to the point, after seeing the pictures of the other suits and bike covers Cook has made himself look very daft. Edited March 27, 2019 by Najjer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
