Barcalona to have a shirt sponsor next season

[shaolinpunk]

Apparently they will be 'sponsored' by Unicef for free...

Fair play to them. Thoughts?

 

[Frutos]

I thought that was only during their pre-season games, and not during the season itself?

 

[pishhead]

I thought they were being sponsored by china air?

 

[shaolinpunk]

really? ah well, its a nice gesture but if its only for preseason its a bit pointless

 

[Gully]

Would be a fantastic gesture if it was for the whole season, a little hollow if not.

 

[Kaney]

bollocks, i hope they don't otherwise my Barca shirt will look out of date

Didn't think the new one was out yet anyways, Kaney?

 

[cardboard]

Not only are UNICEF getting the sponsorship for free, barcelona have offered 0.7% of their yearly turnover to be donated to UNICEF (worth around €2m).

superb gesture

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Barcelona= LEGENDS.

 

[nobody's dupe]

superb gesture

Not so superb with the tax allowance this attracts in Spain.

If they were to donate 0.000001% of their yearly turtnover to the 'Criminalise bull fights in Spain' campaign, then that would be a sensational and superb gesture.

Nice gesture,but......
Think this will lead to sponsor on shirt during season in the next few years.
Which means...
BILBAO THE TEAM I SUPPORT WILL BE THE ONLY TOP FLIGHT CLUB
WITHOUT ANYTHING DEFACING THEIR SHIRTS!!!!
BASQUE'S ONLY PLEASE!
HAMPSHIRE DAVE

Barcelona recently turned down a shirt sponsorship from a betting company worth £20+ mill a season. They've never had one in their history and Laporta doesn't intend to ever have one in the future either.

The Unicef partnership is a 5 year deal to help orphaned children in vulnerable situations, in particular those that are affected by the HIV/AIDS virus.

I think the Barca slogan Mes que un Club (more than a club) is truly fitting in this case.

The new Barca shirts are now available to buy, and this season the home looks more like their original kit.

 

[Woodchip]

Well done Barca.

Now, if only they could put BHA on the front of their shirts and give us 0.7% of their turnover then they would become true legends.

i´m in an internet cafe in barcelona RIGHT NOW


they are not having a sponsor, its only for the friendlies


quite like the new home kit actually,

barcelona is a great place, would be better if they clamped down on the agressive prossies and drug dealers though


our hotel has a san miguel VENDING MACHINE

 

[DJ Leon]

Good of them to turn down corporate promotion on their shirts.

Nice Nike logo as well.

The point about FC Barcelona is that it is owned and controlled by its members - all 144,892 of them.
