New OFFICIAL PROFESSIONAL GAME referee shirt:



Looks like a cheap training top, ridiculous white piping, shorts that don't match and look like they've been taken off a shelf in JJB for a fiver. Oh, and can anyone see a pocket anywhere?

You wouldn't think it's possible to gently caress up black shirt, black shorts, black socks with white tops, but there you go. Nice job, Umbro. It's even got a black collar, so if the great unwashed start buying it they're at risk of getting sanctioned by short-sighted county discipline departments.

They'll sell a million more of those shirts in the states because of the writing. Italian-Americans go apeshit for anything that says "Italia" on it.

Its sad to me that you get increasingly obscure companies showing up on shirts. When I was a kid I used to think Sharp and United were some sort of special friends or something, it really drives home that its just advertisement space for sale in a completely financial world when you get companies you wont have heard of and wont ever see or use their products or services.

I mean, it totally works. Millions of people have been googling Aon today, but it has ruined the fantasy for my 12 year old self.

I think it came in the season after but I'd have the same objection then of course.

Is it the euro refs that still have Emirates? I'm sure I've seen it recently.

I'm pretty sure these are from SPL games though:

When I see JVC products my first thought is still "Arsenal!" same with other old sponsorship relationships like McLaren Racing and Marlboro cigarettes.

It's harder to avoid buying AON-related products. It was much easier to boycott Sharp or Vodafone.

IIRC it was the season before Emirates switched from Chelsea to Arsenal.

Nope, referees in UEFA or FIFA competitions are currently still un-sponsored. Have you been watching any rugby or cricket recently? IRB rugby refs and elite cricket umpires have been running (or strolling) around with Fly Emirates branding for quite a few years now.

Maybe that's where I missed the shift. I was also sure I'd seen Emirates and Air Asia on the same shirt and assumed they were related which apparently I didn't and they're not.

Either way, the fact it related to my team is irrelevant to my displeasure. I actually don't think officials should be sponsored at all. It's the definition of a conflict of interest.

Rumoured new Middlesbrough shirt. Although it looks like a photoshop, it was on the website in question and then pulled overnight, so there may be some element of truth to it.



If it turns out to be anything like that I might buy one, though to be honest anything will be better than that goddawful Adidas mesh template.

That looks like one of Adidas's 06-07 templates, though. The common link the new Adidas jerseys I've seen--look up Houston, Seattle, and RBNY--is big blank spaces on the sleeves for league patches/flags/your ad here.

Oh, absolutely. Of course, if they didn't have sponsorship, where the hell else are they going to get the money to do anything? It's not like central investment in referee development could possibly improve football in any way, shape or form. Not when you could give that money to Arsenal so Wenger can get one step closer to achieving his dream of filling the team bath entirely with tenners.
