If it was a case where they offered the sponsor-less version of the shirt for an extra fee I think you'd see that being quite popular. (It's also a gross looking logo as logos go)
Much prefer football shirts without sponsors, I wouldn't buy an England shirt with a sponsor on, but a few club shirts look acceptable like Ajax's away kit, and Marseille's black & orange 3rd shirt.
On a national shirt, Ireland are the ONLY footballing nation to do this (the swiss have a small logo I think but not in the center of the shirt)
I'd even take a compromise: Remember that Robbie Keane 50th goal commemorative Ireland shirt a couple of years ago? It had 50 where the number goes instead of the corporate logo. Instead, they stuck the "3" logo on the shoulders. I'd be able to stomach it if the logo was on the shoulders!
The knock off jersey site soccertriads were offering convincing fakes without the logo before Euro 2012 and as far as I know loads of people ordered. Sort it out FAI.
Shove the sponsor on all the anthem jackets and training gear and merch and such, anyone following the team will be exposed to the logo a hell of a lot, but a national replica shirt should be kept somewhat pure. It should be able to be a REPLICA of what the players wear!
It breaks my heart because besides that ONE thing, this is a fun and fantastic Ireland shirt.
If you' re being ironic, I think we can say the bastards snatched almost everything from them apart from this team.
Shirt is wonderful, yet another brilliant invention collar-wise.
Let' s hope Iconix give them the necessary support to find new teams and offer more beautiful kits.
I knew there was a special reason why the bastards didn' t manage to steal also this contract...
