As a life long football (soccer) fan, wearing corporate sponsors on jerseys only seems normal. |

| As someone who's never really watched Soccer, that's like the opposite of what I'm used to seeing. That little patch in the first pic is the Team Logo, I assume?

| Yup, most soccer teams will have a small patch with their team logo, and the main logo will be the sponsor, which might change every few years.
Fans and teams seem to embrace the sponsor as part of their team actually, as the sponsor almost becomes synonymous with the team itself. |

| Thanks for the info. Even though it's so different from Football here, it's not that bad looking. I think it's because the design is so simple, A big Sponsor logo, and a small Team patch. -- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." - H.

| Well thats new. I really hope my Green Bay Packers dont do that.
The practice jersey's are one thing but i hope they dont do the game day uniforms. Ive watched soccer and i never really noticed that. I guess it works for them. I dont know if it would work in the NFL. -- Mafia: »»Pub Games Wanna play a game? |
