I'd love a "no sponsor" option but imagine that when a sponsorship deal is agreed, if the club pushed for this then the sponsor would pay less money, as less exposure. Can't see quins being in a position to turn down the extra cash

Sponsors on shirts don't bother me as long as they fit the look of the shirt overall. Ultimately, I want Quins to be successful so I accept that company on shirt = money to bring in quality players, build 21st century stadium facilities, etc = success (hopefully). I'd even go as far as saying that I like seeing a big name sponsor on our shirt - feels like the more known our main sponsor is, the more likely we are to be mixing it with the big boys. Compare DHL to some of Falcons' recent sponsors (and the period during which they couldn't even secure one) and there does appear to be some correlation. Success off the field = success on it.

However, I wouldn't want to see us go down the same road that a lot of French clubs and the likes of Scarlets have done where they wallpaper their shirts with multiple sponsors to the point where you might as well not have a shirt design in the first place. Thankfully we haven't seen Quins going anywhere near that.

It was the main reason for buying a retro shirt (almost) no advertising.

I liked the short sleeve cotton one from last year with the retro HFC logo on the right

Well no sponsors other than the massive Canterbury logos....
