Actually the vote was passed but the board eventually decided not to use a commercial sponsor.

Yes but at an AGM a few years back the socis gave the board permission to take on a commercial sponsor to relieve our financial problems.

Oh I thought the vote hadn't passed.
Ah well, I'm still glad we didn't have sponsorship on our shirts... Imagine there being "BWIN.COM" on the shirts instead of "UNICEF", I think a little piece inside me would die

it has passed, and as far as i know, it is still in place.Oh I thought the vote hadn't passed.

so that means that the board (also in the future) has the right te get a sponsorship on, without needing the approval off the fans...
Hope that decision will be turned sooner rather than later...

Well, let's just hope that the club's healthy financial position results in us not needing a commercial sponsor anytime soon. To be honest though I was discussing before with a friend a few years ago, that the underlying reason for the UNICEF sponsorship may well have been a move to have the fans get accustomed to having a sponsor, and then that can slowly develop into a commercial sponsorship. All step-by-step. I personally prefer our kits without any writing at all though.

That's been suggested by several people but it makes no sense as Laporta is leaving in under a year now.

I don't think it's inevitable that we'll end up with a commercial sponsor, football has been money orientated for years now and we've always resisted the temptation to take on a shirt sponsor despite the massive boost it would give to our balance sheet.

Well Joan's not the only one who comes up with plans etc.
Well, I guess beef-supreme said something that can be available. Capitalism is unbeatable.
Hmm yes although it is just a theory of sorts, it is nothing firm and we'll just have to wait and see.
Yes indeed it's not inevitable. I trust that it won't happen, but if it does then I will be forced to look at the positives of such a deal. However, in all honesty the most I can appreciate is a sponsorship like UNICEF, I'd much rather have a blank shirt though.

I don't mind the UNICEF on the player's shirt, just want to get them without it on it. About the eventual sponsor, I doubt it will happen at the end of the contract with Unicef, but in the close/distant future when the sponsorship option will be needed, people would be more ready to accept it.

Laporta's not the only one to come up with plans but there's nobody in the club guaranteed to stay on beyond his departure that has enough power to implement such a move. If there were a machiavelian plot to bring in a shirt sponsor then it would have to be at very near presidential level and it would have to have been implemented by now. That we still have Unicef instead of McDonalds/Coca Cola or La Caixa on the front of our shirts suggests to me that unless the new president is warm to the idea of a commercial shirt sponsor then this particular conspiracy theory is dead in the water.
I too would prefer a blank shirt, simply from a personal POV I far prefer just having the colours rather than feeling like a walking billboard.

the sponsors can have themselves on our stadium or travel gear our training gear a tattoo on peps head but leave the jerseys alone

Hmm we'll just have to wait an see. I wouldn't say it's a machiavellian plot, it's all pretty ordinary these days to bring in commercialism, but I do maintain that Barca won't go that way quite yet. I just wonder what will happen next, when our contract with UNICEF runs out.
I agree with you there.
