Seen quite a bit on this through Social media. Apparently some are not happy. I'm guessing it's just brand snobbery from those people. The only thing I wouldn't like would be the team announcements. "The Peacocks Cardiff Devils". Doesn't sound great does it. 😂.
Ultimatly it's a somewhat recognisable, established company prepared to align with a UK hockey club. Has to be a positive.

Great deal for Devils
Known brand with over 1,000 stores nationwide.
Devils merch in the Cardiff branch
Discount for ST Holders
Hopefully it's a sign of things to come within the league. It'd be interesting to know how GMB help us, do we get a nice financial bonus? etc.
Hope it's also a sign that the league doesn't need to hire a clinical genius to attract decent sponsorship.

Nice to have sponsors,but god I wish they would keep the sponsors name out of the team name.
We are Nottingham Panthers not the GMB Nottingham Panthers.
And them up the road are not the Sheffield Window Centre Sheffield Steelers.
Can you imagine it....
The Coca Cola Pittsburgh Penguins v The Tim Hortons Montreal Canadiens ! 🙄🙄

How anyone can be annoyed at their team gaining a sponsor is beyond me. If the league got a sponsor of that size then we might actually see a properly funded back office team. Lets hope it is a sign of good times ahead |

Short and sweet, could be a whole lot worse like Steelers' is. 'The Hopwells Bakery Nottingham Panthers' 'The AJKM Hockey Barn Nottingham Panthers' 'The McDonald's Nottingham Panthers' 'The T.I.M.

Just to be picky, there aren't 1000 Peacocks stores. They are part of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill group which has 1000 stores. Peacocks (according to wiki as I lack a better source) has it having around 400 which seems reasonable based on the fact that when they were going belly up in 2012, the deal to save them left them with 338 stores.

5k to some teams is a fair bit of money, if you are struggling you will take whatever,whenever, you guys in Nottingham are more fortunate than most, just ask Caps, Stars, Flyers.
