I think a good sponsor can make a bland kit less so. You can't just have a blank spot in the center of the shirt, it looks too empty. Which is probably why I don't like national kits that don't have a sash, or stripes, or some other feature on the chest.

It's just something that irks me. They wouldn't have worn sponsors back in 1915 so can't they just for one match drop it? edit: I know it's all a business and poo poo but jesus it's kind of ridiculous.

Ok, so we've firmly established that some sponsors do make certain shirts better on account of humour, but what about aesthetics then? Has any shirt ever been made prettier by having a sponsor?

I'm admittedly biased but I thought Carlsberg always looked great on the Liverpool kits, especially in the latter years - never intrusive, always complimented the kits'/club's colours well, etc: ('Nando in his prime  ) Same applies to Crown Paints. Dunno why but IMO the Emirates logo generally looks classy on most jerseys - Milan, Arsenal, PSG, Madrid, etc. (comedy option: Qatar Foundation on "Mes que un club" Barcelona, because you can't make a gradient look worse can you?)

I've always thought the Chang logo looked really nice on the Everton shirt. I also have no idea what Chang is. edit: the 02 on the old Arsenal shirts always looked cool, too. double edit: Hmm I did a GIS for the O2 shirts,and I remember them better.  Didn't they have one with a bigger, less blocky O towards the end of that contract? blue footed boobie fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Dec 19, 2013 |

The Jeep logo on Juventus jerseys look good imo. But they're super basic and would fit on any kit, really

I really liked when Grêmio was sponsored by Coca-Cola.  Back in the olden days, sponsors wouldn't tack rival team colors in your team's shirt, even giant companies such as Coca-Cola, which shares its color with Grêmio's rivals, Internacional. On the other side of the cola wars, Pepsi used to sponsor Corinthians, and they had to resort to using the international logo for Pepsi Twist in the club's shirt, as the fruit we call lemon in Brazil is actually the lime, which is green, Palmeiras' institutional colors. That was really tactful.   A couple of years ago, it seemed that every club in Brazil had the same regrettable BMG sponsor, a loan shark bank in orange which made every shirt look horrible:  Fortunately, they seem to be gone by now, except for clubs in Minas Gerais where the "bank" is based.
