Problem would be if everybody was doing it and it became the norm - it would lose its novelty. All marketing people are concerned with is how large the logo is reproduced. Maybe this state of mind will change though as marketing becomes more sophisticated. I'd like to see more inventive ways to incorporate a sponsor. Thats a good point Andrew – it is more noticeable.

Juventus, for instance, have a black and white sash on a silver jersey for their away kit this season, whilst Bologna and Catania have blue and red sashes on their away strips. Inter Milan have, in the past, had black and blue sashes on their white away shirts on several occasions. A lot of the teams have either placed the sponsor logo directly on top of the sash or broken the sash up with a gap to fit a sponsor logo. However, there have been other novel ways to fit a sponsor on a sash shirt, not just Man City's current third shirt featuring a much-reduced Etihad logo under the badge so as to not "spoil" the sash, but I recall Crystal Palace having their then-sponsors AVR's logo slanted in line with the sash on their Hummel kits of the 80's.

I think sashes are underused in kits. They look quite classy. The numbers on the sleeves look very odd though...for some reason it makes me think it looks American...? Nice looking kit.
