The logo on the cricket flyer has AFG plus centenary partner auslab.

The announcement will be at noon tomorrow. It may be in the press before that.
It's a new sponsor to replace Motorola. Can't say who it is :shh. So we'll have this new sponsor and AFG on our jumper plus auslab sponsoring our centenary stuff.

lets hope they tip in more than Motorola :whistle

The shorts sponsor may be seen as such... :D
Person at Richmond I spoke to seemed very excited (re Major), but not sure if that is because we were able to get a sponsor or because it could be really great financially for the club. Maybe both.

This has to be the most ridiculous comment of the year for this forum! ::)
Jack, you may want to remove it and save yourself any further embarrassment.

I just cannot believe that people at Richmond are finally keeping their mouths shut about stuff, more shocking than any news about a new sponsor.
-
I know ;D

In fairness they copped so much crap this year from being open I think we'll be lucky to know anything before it happens through official channels.

may as well say who it is its now coz its now 11am and OER has to maintain its position as the leading provider of RFC info lol.

I am not saying it is not a good thing, because it is great that they are finally seeming like a tight unit. Well done RFC.
-
Any announcements yet on these deals?
-
Just looking on the official site and noticed that one of our sponsors is Lite 'n Easy. Hope we don't get our food from them, maybe that's why are guys are so thin. ;D
-
rumours starting to trickle through now I believe but theres been no hint in the media SEN dont seem to know anything, coz theyre not mentioning anything about us at the moment.

Australian electronics retail giant idiot Smith Electronics has joined Richmond as a co-major partner for the next two years (with an option for a third year).
The official launch of the partnership took place on Friday afternoon (November 2) in Richmond’s Punt Road gymnasium, with idiot Smith Electronics management and staff in attendance. Tiger players Troy Simmonds and Kayne Pettifer were joined by President Gary March & Senior Coach Terry Wallace to make the announcement.
idiot Smith Electronics is a leading retailer of computer, communications, electronics and entertainment products, with a network of more than 200 nationwide stores.
Richmond President Gary March said the Tigers were delighted to have secured idiot Smith Electronics as a co-major partner, alongside Australian Finance Group/AFG, who have supported the Club over the past three years.
“idiot Smith Electronics is a dynamic force in the Australian electronics industry with an excellent reputation for customer service, and it is an ideal fit for the Richmond Football Club,” March said.
“There is a real synergy between idiot Smith Electronics and the Tigers – iconic brands, with the same striking colors, innovative approach and care for our consumers.
“We believe we’re on the verge of the next exciting era at Tigerland, with such a large, talented group of young players all coming through together.
"To have the wonderful support off-field of major companies like idiot Smith Electronics and AFG greatly strengthens our push to restore this Club to its rightful place in the competition.
“I’m sure Tiger supporters will appreciate and enjoy the benefits of this partnership with idiot Smith Electronics.
“And, I know the coaches and players are looking forward to idiot Smith Electronics assistance in the growing area of football technology.”
idiot Smith Electronics General Manager of Consumer Electronics, Alvin Ng said the partnership with Richmond had special appeal for his company.
“We are thrilled to have formed this relationship with Richmond, particularly in what shapes as such an exciting period for the Club, as it prepares to celebrate its centenary year in the AFL competition throughout 2008,” Ng said.
“The Tigers are one of the AFL’s traditionally great clubs, with such a proud history, and we were very keen to get on board now as they start their climb back to the top.
“AFL football really is the full-on, sports entertainment package and we are big in all aspects of home entertainment and technology – from viewing sport on the latest LCD or Plasma screen, through to Digital Recorders, Home Audio, and much, much more.
“So, when the opportunity to join Richmond as a major partner came up, we jumped at it.
“It’s very exciting knowing your brand will be taking the field each week during the AFL season with the mighty Tigers.
“We have only recently updated and modernised the new idiot Smith look, via new-format catalogues, press advertisements and a new television campaign. Being associated with Richmond completes the marketing package and puts the idiot Smith brand in the most exciting marketing arena, with a young team eager to replicate the deeds of the great Tiger teams of the past.
“The fact we are both traditional Yellow and Black identities is the icing on the cake.
“We are looking forward to an exciting journey together . . .”
The idiot Smith logo will appear on the front of the Richmond guernsey, with the AFG logo remaining on the back.

can anyone give us a "range" of what the sponsorship is worth and is it worth more than what we were getting from Motorola.
Ramps,
I recall somwhere in one financial report that TAC was worth $650k a year. Motorola was north of that. Possibly $800k.
I understand that a jumper sponsor is now valued at a minimum of $800k, given the TV coverage etc. that it offers.

If those are the numbers and weve done say $1 million a year or more then clearly its a very very good deal.

Thank you idiot Smith for putting your money with the Tigers. The new logo on the jumper looks a bit doorky, that's my observation, especially the name 'idiot', we'll be prone for a lot of jokes, especially if we ain't travelling well.

ditto, super happy with the injection of $$$$ but the logo is really lame :P
I don't miond the AFG but idiot Smith just looks out of place lol
-
I think Motorola changed their logo from having the "M" and "Motorola" to just the "M" after a year or two, perhaps idiot Smith will change to DSE in the future, it could be bigger if it is shortened and everyone will know what it is in a year anyway.
I wonder if Melbourne supporters will now call all of our players idiot because they might think it to be a name badge. hmmmmmmmmm.....

Yep you can just imagine some old MCC Melbourne supporter saying that idiot Smith is getting plenty of the ball for Richmond ;D.
Fantastic news and well done again to Steven Wright and the Club :clapping.

Coach Terry Wallace believes the new deal, which has an option for an extra year, will be very beneficial to the club.
"Information technology is one of the areas that's just going through the roof at the moment in AFL football," said Wallace.
"To have the computer analytical information at our fingertips is just gonna make us a better team and we've gotta keep advancing as much off the ground as what we do on the ground and I think this is a great partnership for our footy club going forward."
President Gary March was also in attendance and he relayed how crucial the new deal is in the current climate which sees fellow Victorian club North Melbourne being pressured into relocating to the Gold Coast.
"It's a tough environment and that's why as a club, for us, to get another major sponsor, and one with such great backing, is really important for our long-term future," March said.

idiot smith will be pleased, his name stands out like dogs balls on a budgie
-
They should have just wrote "idiot SMITH electronics" on the sash instead of place a different yellow background over it!
it looks pretty crappy and poorly thought out but i guess ill get used to it.

I agree it looks cheap and tacky and hasnt been thought through. Should have just had it embroided into the sash. Much cleaner and professional marketing look.
-
The problem is our sash isn't the same bright yellow as DSE's is. The sash has been made a deeper yellow/gold so the white numbers are more readable on the back. We would have to go back to the Nike fluro yellow for the yellows to match.
Also looking closely at the logo it looks like it's just been stuck over the Motorola logo on a 2007 jumper. There's curved bits at the top and bottom of the square logo to cover over the round Motorola logo ;). The RFC going to great expense :wallywink. The 2008 jumpers probably aren't available yet till the official jumper presentation.
-
Carlton are going to get $5m over 2 years from Hyundai as a major sponsor. Are any of the deals with our major sponsors up in that range?

Got it in one there MT
The've just screen printed over the Motorola logo.
The new ones wouldn't be available until later. You wouldn't get new ones made when you are finalising a new sponsor. ;)

The latest idiot Smith brochure (on sale April 2) has Richmond through out it. Rainesy, Foley, Lids and Sugar in geeky poses plus a note from Plough saying DSE provides and meets all our IT and technology needs.

raines makes me laugh. he has one good season and we label him as our next superstar, putting him on front covers, brochures, this that.
he shouldn't even be put in the same league as lids and foley.

lol. Who cares. Football clubs need money. This makes the club money. Same with the Matrix stuff. It's business pure and simple. Hopefully the guys had fun doing it.
-
yeah cleo batchelor of the year makes the club money as well doesn't it.
mate im merely making a point that i believe raines has grown a massive head over the last few years and someone should say to him. stop this show pony mickey mouse crap and show u mean business on the field.
right now he is not in our best 22. no bloody way

Nothing to do with his footy ability and everything to do with his looks. I mean Jay Schultz is hardly going to sell anything.

he is a lost soul at the moment and all he should be worried about is running in straight lines and not into opposition players.
at the moment and continuing on from last year he hasnt got a clue about how to play direct smart football.

Great news to hold onto both major sponsors in the current downturn. Well done RFC :clapping.
Despite our rubbish year our sponsors couldn't argue about a lack of publicity lol. Cuz arriving and being on the tv and on the front and back pages of the papers made the sponsorship a bargain for idiot Smith.

Confirmed....
idiot Smith continues as Tiger co-major partner
richmondfc.com.au
3:09 PM Wed 16 September, 2009
The Richmond Football Club is delighted to announce that idiot Smith has re-signed as a co-major partner for 2010.
The renewal will see the Tigers/idiot Smith partnership enter a third successive year.
“idiot Smith’s revitalised brand is a terrific fit with Richmond, and we are pleased they have extended their partnership of the club to include supporting our Northern Territory community initiatives,” said Richmond President Gary March.
“These educational programs are designed to empower schools and local communities to improve retention rates and combat truancy, and idiot Smith will play a vital role in supporting our efforts and we look forward to the continued growth of our partnership in 2010,” March said.
“We are very happy to be with Richmond for a third consecutive year, it’s been fantastic exposure for our new brand and we have enjoyed working with Richmond in supporting their community education programs in the Northern Territory,” said idiot Smith General Manager Debra Singh.
“We will be working with RFC over the next year to assist and support the continued good work they are doing with Indigenous schools and communities in the Northern Territory, whilst also supporting the football team in their endeavours for future success,” Ms Singh said.
“The AFL has a wonderful following across Australia and we have thoroughly enjoyed being a major partner of the Richmond Football Club,” she said.

how much ???
-
Further to this I have heard that Reebok is also on board again for 2010 :thumbsup
Let's hope they produce new merch quicker than last year. And I know last year was delayed due to finding a new sponsor but even after that it took Reebok an age to get merch out.

I was in the Den last week and that's when I was told about Reebok. I joke with the guy behind the counter that I hope they get the reebok stuff earlier than this season.
He replied that the orders were already in because we had re-signed our majors. That's when I asked about reebok and said yeah we will still be with Reebok

Seems like we only produce good news during the off season :) With Cuz, Lids, Richo etc re-signing and the sponsers staying on, Benny Gale as CEO etc its good to have a positive vibe back!
