Just out of interest what home machine are you using? Last year I considered ASUS but there were no deals via our sponsorship link so I opted to stick with HP. It's all Dell at work.
Apple Mac mate and for I know that could be linked to Asus, Asos or Asda…I know only it is an Apple Mac. Btw I am 100% not knocking Wakey or the company involved.

Me too, I had heard of Asos not Asus.

yep... thats the crux of it.. its where i get frustrating with the "integrate into the kit" obsession on here.. yes I agree some of them are poorly done (random white background etc) but some of them deliberately need to stand out from the shirt. warrington IMHO would lose hoover if they tried to integrate it into the shirt, I also think Hoover wouldnt go with someone like St Helens for the same reason.. they need/want you to get hit in the face with the logo and it has to stand out to do it, they also want that logo to be recognisable.
Interesting perspective…I always just thought that Hoover went with Wire because they both suck.

errr, quick reminder
warrington do ok, also having had Fly Emirates in the past.
I have quoted Warrington elsewhere as doing very well, much better than most, I was talking about RL in general.

Apologies Neil, you commented on this on another thread the other day and I was dismissive of your comment as I would expect those at the club to know exactly when it was formed…and yet on their own official website you can find the following quote
“The town’s first rugby club was Wigan FC, founded in 1872 by a group of members of the town’s Cricket Club. Wigan FC played on Folly Field, near Upper Dicconson Street. Financial problems and an inability to recruit quality players led to a merger with Up Holland FC and the creation of a new club, Wigan and District FC. The new club played its home games at Prescott Street, which was the home of Wigan Cricket Club at the time. Eighteen months later, however, this initial foray into the world of rugby was over and the club disbanded.
In 1879, a new club called Wigan Wasps was formed following a meeting in the Dicconson Arms. This new rugby club evolved into the current Wigan Warriors Rugby League Club we now know today.”
So even on the club’s website there is acknowledgement of the facts with the clear terminology “disbanded” and in reference to 1879 “This new Rugby club evolved”

I like the new Wigan shirts, and think the ability to buy without the main sponsors logo is great (whatever the circumstances behind it). However, for the avoidance of doubt, and to ensure that everyone's aware that they are re-writing history by celebrating it early, 2022 is NOT Wigan's 150th year.
You might want to tell someone at the club - https://wiganwarriors.com/blog/2021/11/26/make-it-wigan/

This question always gets asked in response to a question about the profile of a sponsor. The choice isn't between bargain basement or luxury items, there's many many shades between.
I know as a sport we've struggled to attract top end brands, but have done well with middle brands.
And I could understand if it was one of our lower-profile clubs trying to break into a national sponsor. But this is our treble winning champions, who already have had many national sponsor over the years.
Fair enough but for every Typhoo there has been a Frontline Bathrooms. Whether it’s down to the image of the town, sport or club, I don’t know.
I do think, as a sport, we are at the same level as lower division regional football clubs and Home Bargains is about where we are at. It is a marked improvement on Cash Converters.Would I prefer a more high profile sponsor? snobbishly yes, but I see Rugby League’s profile these days and sadly do wonder whether it is realistic to expect anything but what we have.

Wasn’t aware Home Bargains had sponsored Bolton but I know they have been involved with Tranmere Rovers in the past. Realistically I think that’s probably where we are as a sport these days in terms of attracting names. Do people expect our clubs to be sponsored by giant corporations like Premier League Football clubs? Not going to happen in the main, sadly. It’s a nice aspiration and I hope we get to those heights but if we ignore tobacco, alcohol and gambling sponsorship (either banned, outdated, unfashionable or under government scrutiny) then which clubs have managed to bring in big name sponsors? Without knowing the financial detail then Warrington should be congratulated for having Hoover on board at least but apart from them which clubs have major financial sponsorship from a big name?
I also think it’s worth repeating, whilst I’d love Saints to be sponsored by say Santander or Apple, that we have at least moved on from bloody Cash Converters!

Surprised that we’ve gone with a RedVee . No, I like it. I am so glad to see a change of sponsor, I guess Cash Converters contributed to the clubs finances and for that I should be grateful but it never say comfortably, same as Totally Wicked tbh.

Is it Jethro?
In all seriousness, I wish Cornwall great success and hope that they pull everything together in time.
If I was a betting man I would say Brian Noble.
