No idea. The shirts are now on sale with both logos, so I imagine that if there was an issue, we negotiated a fine rather than have to go to the massive trouble of re-doing all our kits. 6 figures seems a bit steep, though.
And also asking the BP to actually investigate something is pretty funny.

Hong Kong gas, if you post on here, how do you know we are paying a 6 figure sum in compensation?

Why would we pay a six figure fine when we've never worn the shirts in a league match, surely it's cheaper to just scrap the shirts and start again? Losing the five or six figure sponsorship deal is a bigger concern?

The shirts were on display in the club shop today with all the sponsors in place. |

I wonder how much Stoke get fined for having Bet365 as their sponsor.

The football index thing is weird. I get it is covered by the gambling thing, but it really is something different and not really gambling at all in my view. Its as much gambling as my pension pot in some respects |

Just a thought The fact the players were wearing shirts with stickers over the Mint adverts suggests otherwise? As far as the suggestion FI is not related to betting by some posters this is lifted straight from their website: About Football INDEX BetIndex Ltd have launched the world's first football stock market, Football INDEX, where traders can buy and sell shares in professional footballers with real money. The UK licensed gambling platform provides customers with an exciting alternative to the traditional and overly crowded sports betting markets. The first of its kind, Football INDEX is revolutionary in offering customers a chance to bet on the future success of football players, rather than gambling on the short-lived outcome of football matches. The platform operates with all the characteristics of a stock market, with traders buying units of footballers (known as 'Futures'), building their football portfolios and trying to sell at a profit As well as trading footballers for profit, customers have the chance of multiple 'wins' from a single bet. Football INDEX’s daily Buzz Chart is UK media monitor determines the trending footballer in the news each day. Any traders holding futures in the trending footballer will receive a dividend payout per future held. |

My pension pot isnt classed as gambling though, but it has the same effect. Aviva take my money invest it and it either makes money or loses it and I get to take my money out at the end |

Aviva take my money invest it and it either makes money or loses it and I get to take my money out at the end But they invest your money on the stock exchange or in funds so you are always likely to get some of it back even if the FTSE crashes plus it'll be protected by the FSA, and you can't get "multiple" wins if one of your shares does well!! If you invest £10K you'll virtually always get it back over any 5 year period bet on FI, pick the wrong players, and you could lose the lot some must lose or the company would go bust. |

Topper That's factually incorrect. The deposit guarantee does apply to investments in shares. You will "virtually always get it back over 5 years is also not true. |
