Red DNA Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Seventh tier Radcliffe FC have had their initiative to use ‘super heroes’ on their shirts and get kids on board buying replica shirts thus producing an income stream, but now banned by the FA. The reason? It’s blatant advertising , so how does that compare to all the betting advertising currently aimed at the younger generation? Dreadful over reaction from the FA to squash a bit of money making from a lower team. Sounds the guy behind it has done a ‘dark side’ goalie shirt which has been selling well. (apologies but the only link I’ve got is behind Sunday Times paywall ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterRedthanBlue Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 So they've got an agreed deal with marvel so no issue with the licensing. They aren't actively promoting marvel because they've got a different sponsor on their shirt. How is this advertising? If marvel were the official sponsors would they still quash it? What about every other sponsor? They are technically advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still seems really harsh though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are limits on the number and sizing of any sponsorship appearing on kits. https://handbook.fapublications.com/#!/book/45/chapter/s8700-kit-and-advertising-regulations/content?section=s8701-a-general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
