Of course your 'Pies had the extraordinarily cool Blue Star of Newcastle Brown Ale for a glorious while and now it's everyone's favourite nationalised bank, perhaps symbolic again. The irony is not lost on me, Colin. I still have my 1998 replica shirt with the Broon Ale logo on it - in my view, the best kit Newcastle ever had. I wear it sometimes, too - although here in America it makes me look like a referee!

That was Crystal Palace doc. Brighton and Hove Albion raised some appropriate chuckles when Skint Records (I believe something to do with Norman Cook/Fatboy Slim, of that Parish) were, and possibly still are, their sponsors, with the single word SKINT across their chests. Leeds United's downward spiral was aptly commented on by the switch from Strongbow cider (which was quite an unpopular choice in Tetley supping Yorkshire) to White and McKay Whisky. The current vogue seems to be for gambling websites. Top Man was quite a cool one for us. Of course your 'Pies had the extraordinarily cool Blue Star of Newcastle Brown Ale for a glorious while and now it's everyone's favourite nationalised bank, perhaps symbolic again.

Years ago when shirt sponsorship was first introduced in England, I remember stand-up comedians extracting much mirth from the fact that the players of one of the top teams (can't remember which one... Arsenal?) were running around with the word 'Virgin' emblazoned on their chests.

Yeah, a case of oddly named sponsors for your team. I remember back in the 60s when our youth teams would go to Canada to play (and the next weekend they would come down here, Seattle). One year we were matched up with a team whose sponsor was "Pinky Laundry". Us kids got a kick out of that. I would like to be sponsored by Playtex.

That's chivas not pumas. Anyways read all the wonder bread, twinkies etc and read "Grupo Bimbo" on it, they are the largest bread manufacturers in the world, of course they won't tell you because "Bimbo" wont sell good in the US. but is all aover the world, as far as China. So you dont eat Bimbo bread or Wonder, are you into organic stuff like oroweat? Ha! that is also owned by Bimbo

INFARTO means heart attack. Besides its mexican tradition to put sponsors on their jerseys, and Chivas is the best team in North America.

Sorry, makes a good story, but Bimbo does not own any part of Interstate Bakeries, owner and maker of Wonder bread (and Twinkies, too). Interstate, based in Kansas City, MO, is a publicly-owned company that's been in bankruptcy since September 2004...

Funny comment about Bimbo being Mexico's Wonderbread. As it happens, Grupo Bimbo owns America's Wonder Bread, as majority owner of Interstate Bakeries. So every time you have a Wonder Bread PB&J, you are chomping down on a Bimbo sandwich. Wonder who is having the last laugh?
