mrmytto 220 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I know underage drinking is becoming a problem these day. I know for certain that us and celtic have taken the carling branding off of childrens shirts, but should it be taken off of all the shirts if it's the case of not trying to encourage people to underage drinking? They will still see their heroes who they look up to running about a pitch with a carling label across the middle of the top. Does the branding encourage kids to underage drink? I personally don't think so, you don't think about what the the sponsor label says, plus it's not carling underage drinkers are buying it's 'buckfast'. Does anyone think carling should still be on the childrens top? I think the top without the sponsor in the middle looks to plain, what do you think?

feda16 136 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 it should never be taken off, i understand the purpose of children shirts having it removed but sponsors pay good money to put logo's there, however im just waiting for the first playboy sponsorship to be announced!!

Davey_RFC 122 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Alcohol sponsorship has nothing to do with our booze culture. Kids don't see Carling on our tops then go out and get smashed on Carling. They drink Buckfast and cider, neither drinks I believe sponsor any team. It's a mindset, it's the way they are brought up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffbear 4,101 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Kids will drink whether Carling is on the front or not. I drank underage and we had CR SMITH as our shirt sponsor then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, that's why i didn't see the point of taking Carling off of the kids tops. If they wanted to do something about it then take it off of everyone top and get a new sponsor, they are still seeing their heroes running up and down the pitch with it on. I doubt it would have an effect either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzapat 83 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Its a culture thing here but the Scottish Government will try to outlaw all these forms of "Advertising" sooner rather than later. Sport and the Arts will be the ones that suffer once the ban on alchohol advertising takes effect. The promoters of T in the park are already trying to find a big name replacement in anticipation of a ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wienblue 26 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 The consumption of alcohol by children will neither increase nor decrease because of the advertising of Carling or any other company on football shirts. It is absolute nonsense to remove such advertising. So, if a child was to watch past a pub / off licence en route to a match and walks past the wines and spirits aisle whilst picking up a sandwich at Asda, Ibrox - should we close such establishments. Utter nonsense and foolish and caused by others interfering needlessly in the lives of others. The "nanny state". However, the governments still reap the taxes from the brewers and other deemed unethical producers, such as tobacco companies etc;.Liberal extremists and their warped mind of political correctness.
