Imagining Potential Sponsors Pepsi on a Barcelona Shirt

Hadi Lee, Yahoo Blogger Network

FC Barcelona are reportedly in advanced talks with multinational beverage company PepsiCo to replace Qatar Airways as shirt sponsors for the 2016/2017 season, according to Spanish newspaper Sport.

The blaugrana have had Qatar Airways and its parent organisation Qatar Foundation as shirt sponsors since 2012, but talks between existing partner Qatar Airways have allegedly broken down with the airline unwilling to meet Barca’s €65m asking price.

Qatar has attracted negative press over human rights violations, with scores of foreign labourers being mistreated while having their passports retained by employers. Claims like that haven’t bode well with Barca fans.

A €65m shirt sponsorship is right up there with the best, with Manchester United getting around €60m from Chevrolet.

While loyal culés often object to having shirt sponsors, having one should be imperative to next season’s plans as the club struggles to match the wages of its attacking trio.

With aesthetics in mind, redditor u/yeezays today posted three probable ways the home shirt might look:

This is 2014/2015′s home shirt template, so its just an imagination of what Pepsi’s name/logo might do to the blaugrana.

Here are my thoughts on the three designs:

1) The cleanest look of the three, but it remains to be seen if PepsiCo will be content with leaving out its logo after paying such a hefty sum to Barcelona.

2) The colours on Pepsi’s logo is jarring in this one.

3) If Pepsi decided to match its colours with Barcelona’s.

  • How the 'Bengaluru dream' turned into a nightmare

    STORY: Nineteen-year-old Kkavya landed in Bengaluru with dreams of getting a degree in English literature and an exciting job at a tech firm.During a job interview, Khavya, who hails from Kashmir, was told she would have amazing job opportunities in India's Silicon Valley.She was sold the "Bengaluru dream.""What was promised to me when I came to work, they were like, 'Listen, the weather is going to be amazing, you're going to get paid, come work for us for seven hours, go home, take a beer, chill, sleep."After three years in the city, the dream is falling apart, and fast.One problem is the traffic."Do you see the horn? Did you hear it? This is my nightmare."As it was transformed into India's tech hub, the city has struggled to keep up with the massive population influx.Kkavya now spends up to five or six hours on her daily commutes.In the 1990s, Bengaluru rapidly became India's answer to Silicon Valley.It attracted millions of workers and the regional headquarters of some of the world's biggest IT companies.But unrestrained urban expansion has affected Bengaluru's character as a liveable city.With the city poised to vote in the second phase of India's national election on Friday (April 26), Kkavya said she felt frustrated to see that these issues are rarely addressed by local politicians and candidates."We are that sad now, we don't even think that this is something politicians can fix, because they never talk about it. Traffic is our problem, roads are our problem, hospital is your problem. So when I tell my boss that I can't reach on time, it's my problem, not the people who made the roads, not the people who are responsible for the traffic."And she struggles every morning to get water for her daily use. Weak southwest monsoon rains last year failed to replenish depleted groundwater causing shortages.This forced residents to ration water use and pay a much higher price.Water rates at her apartment have gone up by almost four times from about $8.40 per month to more than $27. "Water is expensive as it gets. It is something like we fight for, cause I remember, two days back, this building and the next building had a war over one tank. Because there was only one tank available, and we both wanted it, so basically they paid more and they got it."
