Last update November 29, 2019 by Javier Argudo

The modern football long ago it became a moneymaker. The main objective of the club is simply to increase revenue. However there is a rule prohibiting advertising shirts with national teams although throughout history have been cases that have not been taken into account.

As it explained in Article VII of the Rules of FIFA in terms of equipment “All forms of sponsors advertising are strictly prohibited, manufacturers (if it exceeds the dimensions of manufacturer identification allowed) and / or third parties, and any political statement, religious, Personal and/or of any other nature in any of the pieces of the game equipment that are used temporarily or permanently in the stadium controlled area or take there during any game ”.

THE FIRST T-SHIRTS WITH ADVERTISING

As we discussed in another article, at club level first shirts advertising began to be seen in Germany and were gradually reaching other leagues. A level selections we have had several cases we make eyes bleed. We go over the:

BRAZIL

One of the selections decided to skip this rule was neither more nor less than Brazil. The ‘Cananrinha’ stamped the logo of his sponsor Coca Cola in his shirt 1987 to face Chile. Like is logic, Brazilian federation was sanctioned by the FIFA and finally they withdrew shirts advertising.

The selection of Colombia It was a step further and wore T-shirts with advertising itself unabashedly in two friendlies faced him 1993 the selections U.S Y Chile. This time it was the brand of beer Bavaria which it was placed on the chest of Colombian footballers. Like is logic, again FIFA He sanctioned with fines corresponding to the Colombian Federation.
