I would love so much to have a short-sleeve one of those shirts. I have one that's earlier and one of the Dreamcast-sponsored aways, but man, loooooooove the home shirt from those years.

Some facts:

In the eyes of most chairmen, football is a business. Which is fair enough to some extent, if they does lose touch with reality and expect fans to start throwing hard-earned cash to watch rubbish week in week out for no incentives (see: David Sullivan's expectations of Birmingham City fans for the last decade).

In the eyes of a handful of billionaires, football is a toy. They can buy and sell who they please without any real interest in making profit - it's all about boys with toys, trying to buy a Champions League winning team. Chelsea have widely been reported to make terrifying losses in a business sense, which doesn't matter too much because they've had so many cash injections from Abramovich's own wallet. The worrying part for Chelsea is when that dries up, as the club is anything but self-sufficient. Selling shirts, however, is a way of broadening their brand. That's the main intention - to be the most successful and best branded club on the planet. And clearly that's working, as everyone here is talking about buying their new shirt as and when it gets released - the extortionate price tag is supposed to convince you that somehow you're probably getting your money's worth.

To fans, if you perceive the game as a business, then you've got the complete wrong end of the stick. The game is suffering enough because of the money-men, and when the fans start accepting it and even encouraging it, it's a bad sign. When fans consider their club to be a business rather than a team, then the game is dead.

Looks downright reasonable compared to Austria.

This year Real Potosi from Bolivia used this in Copa Libertadores

6 sponsors, 4 more on the back, 3 in each sleeve and a couple more on the shorts.

I think the bwin deal ends after the 09/10 season. Soon in any case. Then we'll be sponsored by paddypower or something equally silly.

For gently caress's sake, are Latin American clubs THAT poor that they need that many sponsors to keep them afloat? Jesus.

These two shirts hold a special place in my heart.
