The Nation Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 During the Champs League game against Lyon, the Rangers had their Carling logo blacked out. Any reason why this happened?UEFA does have weird sponsorship rules.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 It's not UEFA, it's France.They don't allow alcohol advertising on football shirts. Oh, the irony.... The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udubs03 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 So visiting teams have to amend all of their shirts? That seems a bit ridiculous. I know it wouldn't take much to black those out, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm not disputing that, but it's not really a major issue. Relatively few football teams in Europe have alcohol-related sponsors, and coupling that with three French CL spots means that they seldom overlap.Chelsea had an issue a few years back when they were sponsored by Emirates Airlines. For a EUFA Cup match in Israel right after 9/11, they took the sponsor name off their shirts altogether and went with plain fronts: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

gordie_delini Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 i'm sorry but i can't help but notice the title of the post is sponsorship sensor not censor - a sensor is a device that detects information. a censor is someone or that prohibits something from being shown in public, like the alcohol sponsor on Rangers' shirt. They do not have sensors detecting Carling on the pitch or the stadium... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr79 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 This is one that Liverpool wore back in 1997 to get around a ban on alcohol sponsorship.Carlsberg don't make football shirts but if they did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one reason so many F1 races have been popping up in far off places outside of the European Union.

Not sure, but who cares STICK TO THE TOPIC!!. But anyways It's pretty cool when you see teams with different sponsors for certain games. I.e. last year, Arsenal changed their sponsor to Dubai, because UEFA had a rule where two teams could not have the same sponsor in a match. I think it was Stuttgart who they were playing.
