Arsenal to sell stadium name?

[sl benfica]

Looks like HOK Sports is going Arsenal stadium same thing has SL Benfica's stadium but without the large loops on top. And the Liverpool is the same has SportingCP just different color stadi.

Its weird.
In Europe clubs sell sponsorship on their uniforms but dont like the idea of this for their stadiums.
In North America, its the opposite.

As a fan, I would rather wear a shirt without sponsor and allow a sponsor for the stadium.

Yes, but the shirts having sponsor logos is no big deal, it makes the shirt look less plain.

As for the stadium, it is like a symbol for the team. What sounds more intimidating? For example, having a visit to the legendary Old Trafford, or a visit to the Nike Stadium?

 

[enigma]

i heard somewhere that they were gonna call it New Highbury.

 

[northstar]

I dont think the name of a stadium is intimidating to anyone.

The history of the club is what is intimidating.

Yea, it's the club itself, not the ground.

Look, everyone who has been calling it "Arse-Butthead Park" or "Highbury II"... it's going to be either Ashburton Grove or named after the company that sponsors it.

I've said this already but I'd like to keep the stadium the way it is.

Yeah, but the ground is like the 13th man (the 12th being the supporters).

Its as much a part of the team as anything else.

 

[Sky Reloaded]

Asburton Grove sounds fairly fitting.

sponsors on the kit are not a forever-thing. the name of a staidum, generally, is kept for a very long time, and is DEFINETLEY part of the teams identity. At least thats how i feel abt it...

northstar, what is ur avator? by any chance is it the one the guy from porto scored against manure today (i didnt see the goals yet)?

 

[Frostwolf]

It's not McCarthy's goal, that's for sure.

 

[Bobby]

The guy in it has Campo hair.

i m pretty sure about that.

Nike is an American brand, and doesn't really have any alliegences with arsenal or london. And Football isnt their main sport.

The Reebok situation is different, the Reebok brand is English originaly, and was established in Bolton... that's why the Reebok stadium is in Bolton.

Welcome To Umbro satdium!




















Nah Still Old trafford for me
BTW: Umbro is a company in manchester.

 

[Knight Saber]

I'd like to stick with Ashburton Grove, although New Highbury doesn't sound TO bad to me.

 

[Bobby]

The current stadium is called Arsenal Stadium, actually (says so right on the front). Everyone calls it Highbury tho.

This one will probley be Arsenal Stadium, Ashburton Grove...like the current one is Arsenal Stadium, Highbury.
