The company that paid to get its name on the SKC jerseys should demand a full refund. I’m pretty sure there’s a sponsor name on there somewhere; but even with Paul’s great pictures, it’s almost impossible to see with the silver on white design.
Or maybe we should follow their lead by hiding our own sponsor.
And give up all that cash? No way.
