Got an email from the club today with a code offering me replacement shirts for the kids.
Brilliant I thought, as did they, how kind
Yet in another classic Saints PR disaster it appears all Youth kits have Virgin Media as the front sponsor not sportsbet.io so WTAF????
As my boys said :"what's the point Dad might as well have saved their cash and we keep the old one its still not like Danny wears" |  | | |  |

So you want your kids advertising a betting company? | | | |

Perhaps you should tell your 'kids' that they are lucky to have such a high achieving parent and to cheer them up they will have exclusive access to the New York apartment when they get older. Sounds like your 'kids' are the spoilt types of the elite. |  |

Following the rules, not allowed on kids shirts.
Makes sense.
From the Gambling Commission,
A number of British sports clubs have sponsorship deals with gambling operators. Sports sponsorship falls within the definition of advertising in Section 327(2)(a) of the Gambling Act 2005 (the Act). Such sponsorship deals must comply with the gambling industry code for socially responsible advertising including with regard to the branding of children’s replica kits.
The gambling industry code for socially responsible advertising (the industry code) covers this issue and states at paragraph 33 that:
The advertising of adult-only gambling products or product suppliers should never be targeted at children. This applies equally to sponsorship and this code requires that gambling operators will not allow their logos or other promotional material to appear on any commercial merchandising which is designed for use by children. A clear example of this would be the use of logos on children’s sports shirts which in future would not be permitted under the terms of this code. Children’s shirts and other merchandise will be defined as those that do not attract VAT. |  | | |

Yes I wasn’t aware of that rule, which begs the question why allow betting to sponsor football clubs at all? | | | |

Most clubs with betting sponsors simply have blank shirts for kids. I reckon the virgin logo looks better than an empty space. | |

I thought those imaginary kids said they wanted to support someone else, due to Saints inability to employ the low block effectively? | |
