Aw man, hoped we'd keep away from betting companies.
I know we had Mansion but I don't like the idea of promoting gambling.

Weren’t premier league clubs meant to be phasing them out?
Just googled it. They are, but on match day shirts.

I thought so but with everything, money talks and these companies obviously make a shit-ton of it because they are everywhere.
Goes to show what a mugs game it is and while I appreciate that many people have a lot of fun doing it, many people I know do but I've also seen people destroyed by it.
I had a mate crash at mine once after a night on the beers and when I hit the sack, he'd blocked himself from his gambling apps.
By the time I woke up, he'd spunked his rent and every last penny he had on them.
So I'm not saying it should be banned because plenty of people can control themselves but there has to be more control over limits and stuff.
Like everything in life, it's the poor and desperate people that suffer most, the addictive personalities.

A company looking to break into new markets will always pay over the odds just like Getir did.
BetMGM is a services company that fits the mold, whereby Spurs can get a referral fee for every fan that signs up for the betting app... again just like Getir. Plus it's 'MGM' - so opens up potential with the wider group of companies, hotels and resorts.
It's good business sense, and I for one am glad we're leveraging it. Or that money would go to some other club regardless.
I'm definitely not gonna get my knickers in a twist over some sponsor/advertising partner. We already have 2 betting partners with their logos all over the place and a crypto 'fan token'.

I understand that and my knickers aren't twisted, I just don't like the idea of promoting gambling.
But as I said above, it's everywhere already and it's where the money is, so I wouldn't expect us to turn it down because I personally don't like gambling.
I'm not up in arms about it, just saying that I'd rather not see it.

I hate watching us in that beige kit yet it looks like a great one to wear with jeans. For me our shirts should be white; Navy and either that awesome blue UA colour or that yellow/gold UA colour we had, yellow is the preserve of GK tops imho.

Hate having a betting company on shirts, but aside from that...
They're owned by MGM Resorts. We've just got permission for this new hotel (I think...?). MGM already have a partnership with F1, much like us. And plenty of NFL teams. I wonder if this is the precursor to something larger. Stadium naming, or even the minority investment that Levy has indicated.

Thinking back, I never used to pay attention to kits as much as I do now, but did GK kits used to be bespoke? I always used to assume they were as there were some wacky ones, but then it's not like I ever looked at the GK kits of other teams with the same manufacturer to compare. They just feel more and more generic and 'the same but in a different colour' to how I used to remember.
We are hardly the only ones. Any company involved is most likely going to have a dodgy past or person associated with it.

It's crazy that we can't advertise alcohol but betting is all fine and dandy.

Also I think I read Getair are in trouble so maybe training gear changes?
No. MGM are in talks for the training gear not official kits.
