AIG - We need a new sponsor Now!!

[tjbirdsfan]

Has anyone else gotten crap for wearing your kit out in public? I have 3 newer United kits (all Rooney) and people here in the US think Im nuts because they think Im wearing it as an AIG supporter. This probably doesn't happen in the UK because people over there don't even see the AIG they just translate it in their head "Man United". But I've gotten several comments over the past few months that makes me not want to wear them so much. My wifes a teacher and she wore her's on Sports/Athletics Day and she got crap from the other teachers. (For those of you who are clueless and never watch the news, AIG is a recipient of the largest private sector government bailout in US History.) We need a new sponsor now!!!

I think the AIG kits have a big future in the retro market down the line.

******** em, I'll wear my kit proudly thank you very much.

[Amdrag]

I still think it looks good. Think it is the box shape that makes it work.

It isn't an AIG shirt, it is a Man Utd shirt. Some people :rolleyes:

[bestbecks]

Lol, I had a similar thing happen to me at school. I was asked if I was wearing the "AIG shirt" ironically or something. I laughed and said sure.

This is really simple. Simply step up to whoever is questioning you, pull up your badge, kiss it, and then walk away.

Me likey!

This one should be fun as well. Someone, after sneaking a few glances at you finally works up the courage to ask you about what's bothering his feeble mind.

Feeble idiot: Excuse me, but do you work for AIG?

Me: Yes, and I'M A-COMIN' TO TAKE ALL YOUR MONAY!!!! OOOGAH BOOGAH OOOGAH BOOGAH *raises both hands in zombie fashion*


Or maybe I'm just anti-social.

I love my United kit. Don't worry we will get the right sponsorship soon.

But yet another thread on sponsor/kit?

[LA. MAN UNITED]

I bought three on sale AFTER the scandal broke. I really could care less what people think. I like Vinces idea about confronting gawkers, however, due to the recession and cutbacks, I would use one less o in Oogah ......

Why would someone give you crap for wearinga a Manchester United kit with AIG on it?

Im not in tine with the financial word 100&, I know that they needed a bail out from the federal reserves and all, but whats the exact hate here for>?

[Numquam Moribimur]

Resentment that some of the people who caused AIG's downfall have come up smelling of roses, some of them with hefty bonuses paid by the taxpayer.

By wearing that, I'm assuming people think you're somehow endorsing them/the situation.

Just an informed guess, btw, nobody cares about AIG over here! If, on the other hand it had been RBS, (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/5047751/Edinburgh-home-of-former-RBS-chief-Sir-Fred-Goodwin-vandalised.html) that'd be another thing altogether.

bleh... i have the Manchester United Jacket. and of course the AIG logo is stitched on the chest.
I was just walking home when I was in Hong Kong sometime in Christmas... a homeless man saw me in an "AIG" jacket and then he started swearing at me. "oh you fu**ing AIG ppl took all our money, oh you **** america **** screw us up" blahblahblah.

Needless to say I ignored him, because
1: he was homeless,... come on...
2: it is apparent from what he said that he doesn't know SH8T. AIG didn't create the recession you idiot, no wonder you're homeless. (this was before the bonus thing)
3: I wear it proudly as a Manchester Unit fan.
