Riding Brawns coat tails.

i just read that virgin have struck a deal with Brawn similar to Marlboro with Ferrari - whereby they have exclusive rights to the livery, meaning they can on-sell to sponsors for space on the car.

So essentially, Brawn have sub-contracted their livery & sponsorship to be handled by Virgin, whereby if they gain more $ worth of advertising for the car than the $ they pay Brawn for the exclusive rights, virgin could make a profit out of the space sold on the car....

Anyhoo.. I've just been looking at the Brawn GP site. They have released a limited range of branded clothing (Caps, Coats etc). None of it features any sponsors. I don't know how much you can read into that. But if it were a permanent deal, you'd sort of expect to see the sponsors name on there.

Ooh, I might fancy a bit of that; I'll take a look.

I'd prefer to wear something just saying that I've got brawn, rather than insinuating that I am a virgin.
