Watched Brighton beat Arsenal on the TV over the weekend and had no idea they had the sponsor’s name on their Jersey at all!

The same goes for international matches, no ads on jerseys.

It led to the hilarious situation were they have to wear pink shoes so that the audience looks at them.

The best example is Jordan's 1992 Olympic cover-up

Pink boots is because of the strong contrast against the green grass, no?
