Its not uncommon. Arsenal used to be sponsored by Sega and had Dreamcast on their home shirts.Shade wrote:The way I read it, it's Sky Sports' deal, but instead of calling it Sky Sports Football League, they've opted to use Sky Bet instead.
Very shady, but then would you expect anything else.
Didn't Atletico Madrid used to be sponsored by a film studio and basically advertised different films every few weeks?
