Logo Problems For Victor Chandler

The Nottingham Evening Pose newspaper reports that football club Nottingham Forest has to remove the logo of recently signed sponsor Victor Chandler from children’s replica shirts to avoid breaching advertising guidelines.

The club’s new kit was launched last week with the name of the online gambling firm placed on the front.

Adult customers wanting a replica red shirt will be able to choose whether they want the company logo on when it goes on sale on August 7. But anyone under 18 will not be allowed to buy a shirt bearing Victor Chandler’s company symbol.

Forest officials took the decision to stay within the guidelines of the Gambling Commission’s industry code for socially responsible advertising, the newspaper reports. The code, while not legally binding, is designed to stop vulnerable people being attracted to gambling.

The British Football Association wrote to the country’s top clubs in June reminding them of the terms of the code, introduced in 2007.

Victor Chandler To Sponsor Nottingham Forest

Online bookmaker Victor Chandler has announced it will be official sponsor of Coca-Cola Championship football club Nottingham Forest for the season 09/10 for an initial one-year term.

Victor Chandler brand will appear on Forest’s new home and away kits, as well as adult replica kits. The famous Victor Chandler script logo will have a major presence in The City Ground, and will become the In-Stadia betting partner. In addition Victor Chandler has plans for promotions and benefits for adult season ticket holders and fans purchasing the new home and away shirts.

Victor Chandler also announced the appointment of Viv Anderson MBE as the company’s Football Ambassador. Anderson made 328 appearances for Nottingham Forest between 1974 and 1984 and was part of their dual European Cup winning team. “I am delighted to be working with Victor and his team. I obviously have a great affinity with Nottingham Forest and look forward to being involved with the club once more. Both Nottingham Forest and Victor Chandler are steeped in history and both of them definitely belong in the Premier League,” Anderson said.

Chairman Victor Chandler commented “I am delighted with the agreement to sponsor Nottingham Forest and to welcome Viv Anderson to the company. This deal means Victor Chandler profile will be raised significantly in the UK, and comes at a great time with the imminent launch of my new website. I am also excited about the worldwide media opportunities the Championship now offers, particularly in the Far East. My only concern is offering the 40/1 top price about them winning the Championship this season!”
