Because of the rich tradition of the Football club Barcelona, they refused to play with a sponsor on the shirt. The shirt with the color stripes blue and red for all the Catalane is a holy thing. Barcelona is one of the biggest football club in the world and earns millions of Euro’s with the selling of football shirts in a year. The last view seasons, Barcelona is playing with a charity sponsor on the chest. But that’s a good thing, they don’t get money of it and they indirectly helping poor children in poor countries. But now Barcelona wants to make an end of it, because of the 'credit crunch' what is taken a long time already, Barcelona wants to have a shirt sponsor as well, because they can get a lot of money with it and it will help them out with the big losses every year. Qatar Foundation offered their selves to be a sponsor on the shirts of Barcelona. Qatar Foundation has signed a contract for 6 years and pays 165 million euro. Lots of Catalane are furious about it, and sais that it is against the principles and traditions of Barcelona. The Unicef logo will not leave, it only gets a smaller place on the chest. Qatar Foundation is just as Unicef also a nonprofit organization but only wants to create a better and bigger name by sponsoring. Barcelona will play next year with the new brand on the shirts. What do you think about this?
