Lighthearted question folks.
Why do I have to pay the shirt sponsors to advertise their brand/product?
If they want me to walk around advertising for them, shouldn’t they be paying me?
-
It’s for that very reason I always wear my shirt inside out.
-
We pay for carrier bags when we buy shopping too.
-
They pay the club to wear the logo.
You buy the shirt because you want to support the team.
I only buy training kit because I a) don’t like wearing the big logos and b) don’t like wearing football kit as an adult, unless I’m playing.
-
You don't pay the shirt sponsors though.
What a bizarre post, I get you put light hearted.
-
I'm old enough to remember when they first allowed shirt sponsorship.
Those first replica shirts, which were quite a new thing, were available with or without the sponsors logo.
Most wanted the shirt to look exactly like the players kit but I didn't think an unsponsored version was a bad idea.

Fans pay for a shirt to show their loyalty to the team. Not to advertise.
The lower down the pyramid you go the less relevance the sponsor has to most people, especially opposition fans.
