Even Hearts' Twitter comments are positive. The joy vacuum...nope. I mean, I'm not unhappy at the deal and suspicious is probably not the right word but I do find it unusual that there's absolutely zero mention of what the deal is worth. There's always some kind of "a deal worth 7 figures over 3 seasons" type of thing with sponsorship deals. Just find it a bit strange that there's none of this here.

PhoenixHearts Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) We already had a sponsor on the back of our shirts for one or two games last season. We had that Pawprint company on our sleeve for most of the season but in a few cup games where we had the cup patch on the left sleeve, they moved Pawprint to underneath the number. Was fairly innocuous tbh. Might look a bit odd having dell just floating about in space on the lower back but for anyone buying the kit, just get 26 printed on it. Will certainly draw the eyes away. Ps. I noticed some of the posts by Hearts and MND Scotland specified front of shirt sponsor on the HOME kit. Does that mean it'll just be Dell on the Away/3rd?

A_A wehatethehibs Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) The more I think about it, the more I am impressed by the innovation of it and scale of the $70bn global company that’s made the deal possible. It’s an entirely different sponsorship model that’s not been done in Scotland, because it’s not just about sponsorship, we are their customer, we are aiming to use their technology to enhance our performance. Dell Technologies isn’t the consumer goods arm it’s not just about getting a few new laptops this will be a massive project. Dell Tech will be an active partner in trying to support help Hearts to perform better and get success. So what will hopefully be the thing that ultimately blows us away is, that the modernisation of our approach to data, will bring us in line with the elite clubs. That has the potential to help us to gain a competitive advantage on the pitch at this level. The ability to benefit the good cause that’s so close for us with the loss of a member of the Hearts family, at no cost to the charity is almost a bonus, front & Center on the shirt itself, couldn’t think of a better tribute to Marius than to help others in the future through the research this funds. It is a really good effort from the club. Bringing things into the 21st century and looking to the future while paying tribute to a hero from the past.

I just found it a bit odd (that's a far better choice than my original "suspicious") that an announcement about our new major shirts sponsors didn't include any mention of the financial gain, like 99.99% of every other announcements we've ever made. I'm not annoyed or disappointed that they haven't. Personally I'm happy that we're continuing to go with charities, doing something a bit different. It's all good.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I suppose the big question is, we’re making enhancements to the tech, will the Dell computer do-hicky do a job? We start the engine on the new IT tech, day 1, launch day. Jim Jeffries gets connected and sits down at his screen Budge shows him how to input the data about the league, players, fixtures, budget, all the data from our squad, stats, heatmaps etc. Why don’t we ask the AI system to give us some data driven names of transfer targets. It spits out 1 name. Kyle Lafferty. Budge pulls the plug and storms off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad there's no mention, for our position of a club there's no benefit when trying to recruit players having details of finances being flouted around. If I was in talks with Hearts and saw they just signed a 3 million pound sponsor deal you can guarantee my appearance fee would be rising. This way we have none of that going on and can play the card of us being a employer that cares, win win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
