That template doesn't really work with striped shirts at all, and that giant red sponsor block isn't helping things either.

I agree with you about the template but I don't really mind the red block. But they're not going to sell a lot of shirts this year.

It looks like Liverpool and Carlsberg may finally call it a day.

Carlsberg And Liverpool Might Part Ways
Javier Espinoza, 08.05.09, 10:30 AM EDT
The brewer and the football club might not renew their partnership.

LONDON -- Danish brewer Carlsberg's partnership with Liverpool soccer club is the longest in the English Premier League. Now, Carlsberg, the soccer club's official sponsor since 1992, has given the latest indication that a new deal to extend the partnership might not happen.

"We will have a conclusion of a deal or not this year. But, like in every discussion, everything has a price, and we need to assess the alternatives," Carlsberg Chief Executive Jorgen Buhl Rasmussen told Forbes after the brewer released its second-quarter earnings. Carlsberg's current sponsorship deal with Liverpool ends by mid-2010, and the brewer held an exclusivity agreement that prevented the club from exploring other options until July this year.

"If I were a brand, I wouldn't want to be associated with a football team for so long, as you end up alienating supporters of rival teams," said Stefan Szymanski, a sports economist at the Cass Business School at City University in London. "And advertisers don't want their products to be permanently associated with just one team." Szymanski also said it could be beneficial for Liverpool as it would bring new bidders: "If a team settles with a sponsor for a long time, the sponsor is willing to pay less and less. Looking for a partner brings fresh competition that could increase the value of the space in a shirt."

"We haven't tended to see football clubs maintain a very long term relationship with a particular sponsor, and moving on would make sense," Szymanksi said. "Most of the sponsors tend to be consumer products, and there are an awful lot of consumer products with great potential to sponsor a club like Liverpool."

Shares of Carlsberg rose 5.3% in afternoon trading after the company beat forecasts for its second-quarter results thanks to aggressive cost-cutting measures. The firm also said it had gained market share in Eastern Europe and Asia.

But Carlsberg's Rasmussen remained cautious. "Our assumption is that market conditions will continue to be challenging this and next year. I don't think we will see a big improvement, though it won't get worse."

According to oh-so-reliable the Daily Mail, Standard Chartered may be the replacement and are supposedly willing to pony up £ 15,000,000 a year.

It's going to look a little weird not seeing Carlsberg on the jersey. I thought their logo mixed well with LFC's kits, as opposed to Standard Chartered's:

No, it's just billowing out. You're probably mistaking the white part of the shirt between his right arm and the red bit as clean air.

It still looks weird. The red bit is tight to his body and the white bit doesn't look right. The bottom of the white bit looks cloned too. Doesn't matter really :)

Spurs used Standard Chartered as their shirt sponsor for the 2005 Peace Cup. It looked absolutely retarded, and that was a logo with colors that matched up better to our shirts anyway. I can only imagine how poor it'll look on Liverpool's.

It looks like the shirt has the same stripes on the chest as the home shirt has, only now they're the same color as the rest of the shirt. It looks terrible, why not get a normal plain blue shirt if that's what you're going for?
