The national brand names - KFC, Carlton Draught... can't think of others because I look away when the ads come on - sponsor the AFL, not any particular club.
"Working class" companies aspire to be something classier and won't associate with or couldn't afford to sponsor a "working class" club. This is exactly the kind of image we have tried to leave behind. Why should we forever be called the "blue collar" club, or the "working class" club? It's as bad as the class distinction in Britain, where you can never hope to rise above your "class". A disgusting concept.
No, you're not a marketing expert, that's obvious.
And it's Western Bulldogs, not Western. The two go together.
Saying Western and working class poor = the same thing
Eastern and middle/upper class rich = the same thing
IMO saying Western makes us Working class
Hence, we will forever be a Working class club
Western will always sound poor, but just like that rags to riches Williamstown, Footscray is on the comeback.
We are still broke after 15 years of this charade. So mentioning money just doesn't wash with me. AFL guarantees us another 5 years (tv deal), the perfect oppotunity to clean out the office and bring in real business and a new image and jumper.
