I liked the jersey but nonetheless, the game has gone overboard on its use of different jersey designs. Likewise, given the big fat media payday the game has netted, it is disappointing that they couldn't use that money more wisely and pare back on the amount of sponsorship both on jerseys and on the field of play. It's overkill and detracts from the game as a spectacle.
Good point.
Having players plastered in sponsorship lacks class in my book thus cheapens the sport overall. Reckon the main sponsor can't be too enthused with their brand having to compete with others now days also.
Sponsors are their to drum up or maintain awareness. Association means jack if their end goals aren't met.
Yep, it seems foolish to want to limit certain revenue avenues. That type of logic doesn't make a lot of sense. However, if we monetize every bit of space on a playing strip and every bit of free space on football field then how long before most folk think the sport has gone too far in pursuit of chasing a dollar! This is where we're heading. Myself, I think we've gone too far already while others may think similarly a little further down the line or never care about this at all.
