Qatar Airways to appear on Barça shirt from 2013/14 season

[Jadentheman]

There's the catalan shirt everyone wanted. Catalunya in even worse bankruptcy, sure seems like a good time to secede the union

Nike can never make something stylish AND different.

Neither can Adidas

Everybody wants transfers but for that money is needed. Let the quatari millions come!

Spain is in bankrupcy and Catalunya is even worse.

That really isn't the case... Catalonia is still one of the richest regions in Spain, although it's one of the regions that have been hit the hardest due to the amount of companies there. Still, regions like Extremadura, the Canary Islands and Galicia are much worse off.

If it is as it is, I hope they only keep the font. That gazelle logo or whatever it is too much.

The Qatar fonts are way too big and it almost make it seem like we're advertising the country not just the airline.

I still can't help but to think that this is related to Qatar trying to justify why they should host the 2022 WC in their country, while they've never reached the finals.

It's true that Catalonia's debt is worse than the Spanish average, but that doesn't tell the whole story, so yeah, other regions are in much worse shape.

I agree font is too big so as the Arabian oryx logo, moreover most of Barca's players are midgets.

what the fuck is that thing

Finally someone got the animal right. It's an oryx, not a goat!

according to some we will lose turkish airways and the 9mil they pay us yearly!

 

[LeoGetz]

I never opposed shirt sponsoring, but this deal turns out to be a joke. Arsenal with their new Emirates deal will get more than Barça. Manchester United will almost get double what Barça get from 2014 on. Rosell and his crew got taken by Qatar. THE football team, for many the best ever, with the best player ever, and all we get is 30 million a year?

Rosell and Co. should be chased into the qatari desert for this deal.

 

[diegomessi]

since we got a sponsor I will never buy a Barça shirt now.. I will just wear the old ones and maybe buy some training shirts



sad day seeing us sell out sad indeed

OF COURSE WE WILL! We can't sponsor two airline carriers, and competitors at that.

We need the money, but with this deal we're paid like a cheap hooker, while we should get paid like a high-class Hollywood escort.

At the moment when they signed the deal it was the best sponsor deal ever in football, no? Maybe there's a clause in the contract that allows renegotiation when other clubs (like arsenal and manutd apparently) get a better deal, dunno.
