Barca supports Unicef's cause

Båseline SG

Bravo bravo bravo!! Respect!
I jus realized that they sports UNICEF logo over the front of their jersey in their game against Recreativo.

I dun think there's ANY football club in the World who supports this kinda cause and development all for free. Very Happy

===

Unicef, the Foundation and FC Barcelona will collaborate over the next five years in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and support Unicef activities.

Check out more news on this very nice effort over at Barcelona's Official Site.

the Bear SG

stellazio SG

they did not do it for free. barca paid unicef 2mil a year to do it. Laughing

the Bear SG

when they could have been paid 8 figures to put someone else's name on their shirt Wink

i actually want to buy their jersey for this... but i hate their colours Laughing

rojak12 SG

You wear also not nice what or will look weird.

Must wear with pride one.

Båseline SG

Now that's even cooler... no other club does that the other way round. Laughing

Most excellent by one of the biggest football club in the World.

rojak12 SG

Chelsea never do it meh? I thought they are the best and the biggest, at least in sgForums?

Wahahaha

anhydrouscoppersulphate SG

stellazio SG

Båseline SG

Yeh! I was looking for this line to describe it. Embarassed

How right was Unicef to choose Barca as their ambassador. They play clean attacking football, not a dirty team. All the while, they dun have sponsors across their jersey until now. And when they did.. Barca paid them and don their logo as well. Very Happy

mourinho accused gudjohnsen as a diver Rolling Eyes

stellazio SG

unicef didn't choose barca la. barca offered them.okok in a way they chose barca. Very Happy

stellazio SG

almost every team has a black sheep. but i dun think gudjohnsen is that sort. Laughing

the Bear SG

didn't Mourinho teach Gudjohnsen how to do that in Chelsea first? Twisted Evil

Laughing

hoolala SG

Dun you think it is very funny???

Why not they get vodafone to sponsor them....then they donate it to UNICEF???

Isn't it better???

What's the use of putting UNICEF on their jersey????

Båseline SG

I dun think it's is funny at all. Have you read the article at all?

Barca has never been a team who splash sponsors across their jersey. They dun have to cos they supra rich themselves.

hoolala SG

you noe wat i mean??????

Why not they get a sponsor like samsung??/

get the 50million pounds and donate it to UNICEF

isn't it better????

Putting NKF on a MAN U jersey doesn't mean you will get alot of donations ...

donating the $$$ from sponsors is a better way in helping UNICEF
