Blackburn Forgo 2011/12 Shirt Sponsor In Favour Of Prince’s Trust Logo

By Chris Wright

While for all the world it seems like they are trying to reduce Blackburn to a chicken-flavoured laughing stock, kudos must go out to Venky’s for this one – with the Indian poultry magnates deciding to forgo a shirt sponsor for 2011/12 and instead carry the logo of the Prince’s Trust, a charity that works with disadvantaged youths around Britain…

“It’s all for charidee mate”

Still doesn’t excuse this mind.

    Well, when no one will sponsor you, you may as well turn it into a good PR opportunity!

    i hardly think it would be hard for blackburn to attract sponsors, they are the only team to win the premier league aside from united, arsenal and chelsea after all.

    nice shirt aswell!

    But currently look like one of the most likely candidates for relegation…

    Blackburn Rovers are a great club and there are plenty of sponsors who would love to get their name on their shirts.

    I think it’s mighty decent of them to opt for a charity instead. Here’s hoping many more clubs will follow their example.

    Wow a shirt that actually looks nicer with a sponsor. They’re still a laughing stock though

    So much better than the Venky’s logo! But it does look a tad Welsh Rugby Union, heh
