TV didn't like Talbot cars advertising via the club's shirts. In the case of the BBC, because it was advertising. In the case of ITV, because it wasn't them getting the money.

In the early years of sponsorship (Liverpool hitachi etc) clubs had to wear shirts without the sponsor name for Tv games. The big T design in our kit (which we made ourselves after leaving Admiral) was just incorporating the Talbot logo into the kit. The TV companies saw right through it and banned us from the air (even when sponsors were allowed on televised games, there were restrictions on the size of the logo, lettering of sponsors). We weren’t shown on BBC/ITV until around December of the season when we magically came up with the bigT shirt without the big T.
