Wouldn't be surprised if one might see logos on any costume they wear in the future much like Soccer... NFL...Folks can dodge it, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it. There was a NJ corps called Fantasia III that caused a raving stink circa 1980 when they took a sponsor flag (thinking Burger King) out with their Main Guard... everyone panned it, they were forced to get rid of that... Well, anyone else remember them? Are they still around? Food for thought. I remember them!!!! Long gone, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, once they lost that sponsorship because everyone flipped out... IIRC that was the stake in the heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Well, we've mutated the thread into Corps sponsorship. Prolly to escape discussing You know Who and I don't mean the Doctor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where ever people are drinking alcohol... represented inhibitions take flight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense... I know Cabs had a Bud sponsorship in the late 70's early 80's. Never any outward signs of it, but their schedule cards all had the logo on it and mentioned them as a sponsor.

With all this talk of alcohol... maybe we can steer this thread back toward the topic by mentioning that "Hop" is one letter short of "Hops"!!!!

Lancer79 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hasn’t everything to say about Hopkins been said from every angle 100 times over? IS there an unvoiced opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he will NEVER again be involved DCI, no matter the outcome of a trial, the sooner he goes away the better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
