Yeah I think there is a big cultural difference in the acceptance of ads. In Europe there does seem to be much more support among fans for the companies hat sponsor their teams. Here we chastise both our team for selling out and the advertiser for ruining the jerseys.
I own quite a bit of f1 stuff and I have to say I prefer the move towards less ads on consumer clothing. This years red bull stuff has about half the ads of the actual team wear and vs last year. In fact I'd love a Ferrari hat but just like my post about soccer jerseys earlier, I refuse to walk around with a Santander hat. I'm supporting Ferrari, not a German bank.
