Title: Fair Play 2 Barca
Post by: Adam Donnelly on September 13, 2006, 03:09:35 PM
Fair play to Barca, they've gone up even more in my estimations following their decision to finally allow a logo on their shirts; instead of opting from a multimillion euro deal with some faceless corporation, they've opted to have Unicef's logo and instead of receiving money will actually give £1m a year to the charity.

In this day and age of unparalleled greed and commercialisation in football, you have to applaud their stand. They're the complete antithesis of the rags.

Forca Barca.

I dunno, I mean they have never had a sponsor just kinda made sense for them to do something like this.

You could never see them just turning around and having BUDWESIER written across their tops, it almost HAD to be something like this.

props to them tho :D

Seems to be the best way for Barca fans to accept the need of sponsorship, they get good money and the sponsorship is for a good cause

Good work by Barca

Major respect to them. Although, not like they are running short of money. But still. Nice to see.
