Are there any others that aren't all that bothered by this?

It's a reality of the modern game, sponsors are going to want to throw cash at us for at least a season, we'd be daft not to take it (despite it being a little unsightly).

Its a generational thing. My teenage boys think that shirts WITHOUT sponsor logos on look rubbish.

Really? I'm only (only?) 29 and that seems a very odd way to look at it, I was rather miffed when Barca started displaying a sponsor (even if it was Unicef), plain shirts are something special.

WE OLD people remember 'proper' kits with no need for logos, bar the club badge. For them, they've only really known 'proper' teams to have sponsors of the front of their kit. Without a logo they think a football shirt looks like a Sunday League team's shirt.

I personally couldn't give too hoots who or how many advertisers are on the shirt. It's very secondary to the shirt design really.

I guess that puts me in the middle ground then, I've always known there to be a sponsor and badge on the front but anything other than that (on backs of shirts/on shorts) I think of as the 'continental' approach.

And none of this fancy light weight material that doesn't stick to you in the rain, and does all other sorts of wonderful stuff. Bring back the heavy duty cotton that added about 3lbs to your weight in the rain.

Reminds me of this article from the other week where the Brazilian side had supermarket prices and products around the players numbers!!
