In 2011, 188Bet signed a two year extension with Bolton, running to 2013 (this summer). With that contract running out and it looking ever more like the deal will not be further extended, the Trotters are likely on the hunt for a new shirt sponsor.
A few weeks ago (way before the current crop of rumors began), we asked him to have a go at what a redesigned Bolton badge would look like. This is Saurabh's interpretation of a potential new Bolton badge and you know what? We're big fans

Not one Bolton Wanderers player in that list. You may be asking yourself: "well, who deserved to be?" Easy. Chris Eagles and Jay Spearing.
