So now we officially have more sponsors on the shirt than center-backs in the squad.

Anyway, this is a realistical point of view from an article on totalbarca:

Not that long ago Barça’s was the only football top left free of sponsorship (aside from Nike obviously). Then came UNICEF, which warmed people’s hearts, then it was the “humanitarian” Qatar Foundation, which made perceptive people suspicious and of course soon afterwards the inevitable corporate sponsorship reality came full circle with Qatar Airways. Now, anybody who believes Barça can exist in the modern footballing world without additionally revenue streams, of which primary shirt sponsorship is a major source, is mistaken. It remains naivety to still yearn for the days of a clean shirt. One has to ask themselves whether they want the money to buy and pay the best players and compete for the biggest trophies, or if one would rather football’s superstars all go to Paris, London and Manchester while Barcelona finds solace in being the home of moral superiority? Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean the shirt has to be reduced to an auction for advertising space and sold off like vehicles in NASCAR. First the front, then the front and back, don’t forget the inside and now the sleeve. Should we all be expecting corporate logos to soon be imprinted on each leg, all around the socks, on the side of the shirts, or what about right across culé cules? But at the same time, it won’t be long before other mega clubs copy mimic this business idea and have sponsors paying for their sleeves, shorts and socks as well.
