‘Pull them immediately’: Spurs bantered by their own sponsor in hilarious gaffe – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham Hotspur have just faced “an egg on your face” situation.
Earlier today, Spurs confirmed on their official website that they have agreed a sponsorship deal with Dulux.
“We are delighted to announce Dulux, the nation’s number one paint brand, as our first ever Official Paint Supplier.”

In a lengthy article they have detailed what the new sponsors can bring to the table — innovative colour matching technology that will be used to bring spaces throughout Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Lilywhite House and the Training Centre to life in Club colours.
Little they knew, the club would become a butt of ridicule from their new sponsor within an hour, after a shocking PR gaffe.
Dulux while replying to a fan appeared to have mocked the club’s lack of trophies. They have quickly deleted the tweet, but the damage, by that time, has already been done.
Another Spurs fan account have criticised this PR gaffe on Twitter:
And it seems they haven’t learnt the lesson as yet.
We can fairly assume, how delighted Daniel Levy will be after checking this!
