Proud Sponsors?

When the season kicked off on the 16th August 2008, it was a big day for a number of clubs - particularly the new boys Hull, Stoke and West Brom. Pitches had been watered, tickets sold and new shirts bought in the anticipation of their arrival to the top tier of English league football. There was only one thing missing - A sponsor for the black and white of the Baggies strips. Having split with their sponsor T-Mobile, the hunt was on for a new shirt sponsor and fans buying the new top were told that a deal was close and that the new sponsor logo would be added free of charge to tops when secured. They were in talks with a number of possible sponsors and a deal was almost done.

That was 6 months ago and still the shirts remain plain. Surely a club firmly rooted to the bottom of the league could do with the extra income that a sponsor would offer? Even if the deal was worth £500k then it would have stretched to another cheeky loan to boost the cause. International teams are the only tops that don't look ridiculous without sponsors on them. It's a key part of the modern game and only the biggest of the biggest could even consider going without one. In a perfect world every club would donate £1million to charity in a Barca-esque style. That's not the case though and the Baggies need a sponsor asap!

Here we have thought of some sponsors that might suit West Bromwich Albion.
