chevy sponsoring Man United just seems weird.

 

[Ivan 3414]

"Like a Rock. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Like a Rock!"
Badum ba psh badum badum der ner

Was that an actual song or just a really lame jingle?

 

[bone_and_sinew]

I didn't even know sponsors were allowed to have additional colors on a team's kit. Or maybe I just never noticed. The white transparent logo and white lettering is fine but the full color one is just ick.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Chevy is a sponsor of Man United?

Do they even sell many Chevys over there? I thought they brand most of their stuff as Opel over in Europe.

Very few.

The Chevy logo looks like ass anyway and this kit looks ass too.

 

[Heisenberg]

iirc Samsung were going to leave Chelsea and then they won the Champions League.

Glad they won then because Samsung's logo is perfect for this sort of thing IMO.

It was the jingle for a long time, actually.

This is the commercial I remember most vividly: http://youtu.be/IocCC1-jeTY

Opel is GM. Not Chevy.

 

[speculawyer]

It doesn't help that the only Chevy branded cars you seem to see in the UK are rebranded Daewoo Matiz's.

A premium brand for a premium club.

They sell the Chevy Volt there.

Which you tarts should be buying because your petrol is so damn expensive.

 

[speculawyer]

Uh . . . Chevy is GM too.

Which i have never seen in the wild. Those little Matiz's are quite common though.

 

[gutter_trash]

poor ManU, can't catch a break

Well, that's because you old-worlders are poor, not because Chevy doesn't make better cars.

 

[JonnyBrad]

Ah fair play. But yeah the main GM brand in Europe is Opel (Vauxhall in the UK)

 

[Ryck]

Yeah I saw that the other day it is awful. Even if they just took the logo off but left the words it would be ok... Kinda like the old Sharp one.

 

[Casimir]

if Chevrolet is so American why is the T silent? Sounds like French or something.

The founder was Swiss via France.

 

[Saganator]

Holy crap that looks awful if they actually decided to go with the faux-metal look.

This one I found on Google looks a bit better, but not by much really.

This one isn't too bad.

 

[Perspicacity]

EDIT: Wrong thread

 

[Auron_Kale]

This one isn't too bad.

Not a fan of the club, but at least that version of the kit with the Chevy logo isn't gross with the faux-metal look.

 

[thechristoph]

The Manchester Chevies! Advertising on uniforms is so insulting.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Manchester United. Chevrolet.

Two garbage brands deserving of one another.

Spoiler

 

[injurai]

It amazes me how free of advertisement logos NFL jersey's after seeing this.

 

[Tangeroo]

To be fair, this is what the car looks like these days:

hahaha. merica!

 

[chuckddd]

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. Buncha drama queens in this thread.

Though I'm puzzled as to why Chevy is throwing away money by sponsoring European football teams.

Thanks Obama!

 

[enzo_gt]

Fuck y'all. Bow tie for life.

Spoiler

Using the outline would do wonders though

 

[Moondrop]

I just can't wait until logos are added to American sports jerseys. These look lovely.

 

[zedge]

I love my Chev cruze and man u but that's ugly. :/

The white logo one is not so bad.

I blame the Glazers. Twats.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Would look fine with just the font or if it were a white outline of the logo.

 

[Loofy]

Even chevy thinks their logo is shit considering they dont even use it on their flagship car.

 

[Dishwalla]

When I see the Chevy logo I think:

1. Got bless America
2. Like a rock
3. Bob Seger evrythang

Here it is for non-Americans and communists:

I think "See the U-S-A in your Chev-ro-let!"

Funny, I think of the word "recall"

Spoiler

Too soon?

Was that an actual song or just a really lame jingle?

It's an actual song, by Bob Seger.

incoming, Chavs nickname

 

[Junior Mint]

Logo just as shitty and ugly as their cars

 

[CaptainSlow]

For everyone who watched MLB or the NFL around 2007-2008, when I think of Chevy, all I think of is "This is ooooour couuuuntry!"

That fucking commercial every 5 minutes with that horrible John Mellencamp song. So bad.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Maybe its me... but you dont need the logo and the name. The logo is bad enough. Who da fuck is in charge of Chevy marketing?

That's what I was thinking - one or the other would have looked fine, the combo is atrocious.

 

[zedge]

Fuck you.

[Dishwalla]

What's their flagship car? Every Chevy model I can think of has the logo on it. Camaro, Corvette, Suburban, Silverado, Cruze, Volt, SS, Aveo, Impala, Malibu all have a Chevy bowtie logo on them.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Very few.

The Chevy logo looks like ass anyway and this kit looks ass too.

Chevy will pull out of Europe in the next years. So them sponsoring United for many millions is really funny (they got the sponsoring deal though before they decided to pull out).

How about this:

 

[xbhaskarx]

The Chevy logo looks so garish and outdated... so really it's the perfect logo for an American car company.

Logo just as shitty and ugly as their cars

.

Holy crap that looks awful if they actually decided to go with the faux-metal look.

This one I found on Google looks a bit better, but not by much really.

That is much much better...

Chevy is a sponsor of Man United?

Do they even sell many Chevys over there? I thought they brand most of their stuff as Opel over in Europe.

194,032 cars were registered in May in the UK.

Guess how many were Chevrolets? 90. A whopping 0.05% market share.

Soccer is a global game and Man U is a global brand, this isn't just about Europe or the UK...

 

[smoothj]

If the logo was a place a bit higher then it wouldn't look as bad. Dead center looks aweful.

I'm talking about the all white design. The other is impossible to look good.

That's what I thought! Perhaps they are looking to grow the brand there and in Europe.

 

[Dishwalla]

I'm pretty sure there is more than 90 Chevy's in our parking garage.

 

[Pimpwerx]

I thought part of picking a title sponsor was making sure it worked with your kit. Some racing liveries have been destroyed by wrong sponsor choices, so I thought a legendary team like ManU would be more discerning. That Chevy logo just doesn't work. I say ditch the logo and stick with the name alone. PEACE.

 

[darkside31337]

I mean its not really any worse than having AON slapped across the middle of your kit.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I like Chevy's logo. I guess the only main change could be making it flat.

1934 logo is best I think. Then '65.

 

[kess]

There's plenty of decent older designs if Chevy ever gets past its current phase:

Why isn't GM pushing a more local brand, like Vauxhall
