Shirt Sponsorship

Do we really need sponsor?

Thats the million dollar question. If finances are as bad as Rosell would have us believe, then maybe we will have to consider it.

Mate, forget the Rosell report... it's always the same thing when we have a new direction...

It's more about pride, really. We've never gotten paid to wear a sponsor, and although I'm a fan of helping out Unicef, the shirt looks a beauty without a sponsor. If we got a sponsor, we'd just be like everyone else.

Anyone notice the Herbalife logo on the right sleeves against Valerenga?

 

[FCBarca]

I posted on the Herbalife thing a while back...It's a new association to be used in preseason and friendlies only

 

[Galning]

I saw it too but I always forgot to post it. Didn't know what it was though.

I need some eye bleach.

How many professional football clubs have no sponsor? It's pretty rare.

I'm pretty sure we are the only one, or used to, I guess, since we have Unicef now. Even the smallest professional clubs have sponsors, I believe.

When does our UNICEF arrangement end?

UNICEF and FC Barcelona kicked off a five-year partnership in September 2006 to raise awareness and funds to benefit children affected by HIV and AIDS. Every year for five years, the club will donate €1.5 million per year over five years to help fund projects aimed at combating HIV and AIDS in Africa and Latin America. Along with the funding, the football club is featuring the UNICEF logo on its 2006-2007 jersey, the first placement of its kind in the club’s 107-year history.

FC Barcelona will also contribute €500,000 in publicity assets to promote the partnership each year, reminding football fans everywhere of the importance of putting children first. This commitment to UNICEF and the world’s children reinforces FC Barcelona’s motto, ‘More Than a Club’.

I would like to see sponsor if we need. But ATM: NO. Some sponsors may make shirt look worse. Just look at new Man U jersey with AON.

Agreed. I actually liked Man U's shirt when they were sponsored by Vodafone. Same with Milan and Opel.

NO

Well, there are many facets to this debate, but one thing I gotta say is that those shirts don't look good at all with those sponsors on them. Some of them just makes me want to puke. Besides, what a shirt says is like a message, now what on earth something like samsung or whatever has to do anything with Barca and what we are?

I guess thats a matter of personal taste. I like the Armani ad much more than the current Unicef sign - regarding the design.
