I dont like Vodafone or Lion Red Beer, so it doesnt have an effect on me. Though I do like CCC gear, but I always have. Probably comes from being a Cantabrian.

But I didnt like our last strip, and think our Cricket test uniforms are rubbish.

Yeah what is it with coloured piping on Test Shirts. Also hate modern pullovers. I'm old school bring back the cable stich jumpers with the 3 black stripes on them. those modern ones are a dogs breakfast.

As for my team Liked Henny Penny, Shopped at Stockland Shopping Centres, Watch NBN Television and Listen to 2HD

Was already using Trend Micro, wouldn't drive a Hyundai and apartments are not my style.

In 2004 I got a free sample of a Herbal World drink. I can still remember its foulness

I hate Pepsi, poor man's Coke. So they missed out in the 90s. (I think the Sea Eagles won a Coke sponsored sevens tourney with the Pepsi logo)

I have used Kaspersky in the past but I don't use any anti-virus now, I like living on the edge.

Funnily enough in double blind testing people regularly tend to prefer Pepsi over Coke however when the brands were identified people preferred Coke over Pepsi regardless of whether the sample identified as Coke was actually Coke or Pepsi.

As to the OP's question I've been a customer of St George bank since well before they sponsored the team. Mainly because I was cheesed off with the f***sticks at the Commonwealth Bank.

As for other teams sponsorship I have drunken Canberra Milk, I have partaken of the services of the Tradies club in Dickson, I get my CTP through NRMA (because I can't get it from anyone else), I occasionally watch WIN tv and I get my health insurance with Medibank Private.
None of my purchasing decisions are made on sponsorships.

XXXX should sponsor NQ again (on the sleeves this time) though they sell enough of it already up here they probably don't need to do it.

Maybe the thread should include sponsors of other teams you support but wish you didn't as a result of their support for other teams.

As a kid I would have definitely bought Dux water heaters.

I once did buy Famous Grouse scotch - it was actually crap, but better than 100 Pipers or whoever used to sponsor Souffs.

I used Hardiplank to build my dog kennel - They were asbestos I could get........

I actually go the other way. When Pepsi sponsored Manly - I only drank Coke. No way will I drink Coffee Club, or wow. I refused to use Electronic Sales and Rentals, and to this day have never eaten a Dahdah or a Calphos. I drive a Ford, but not a City one.

As for TNT - anyone who sponsored referees deserves to be blown up.

About the only thing I DID do was have a policy with NIB - I thought it was cool to name a health fund after a Sabbath song.
