What Does It Mean When Your Right Hip Hurts

Chronicle of a disaster in the patch solution

At a time now democracy has been present in the world camisetólogo , allowing increasingly often that a club jersey to be chosen by their own fans. "Marketing strategy or initiative of goodwill? Who knows one ... The point is that, as discussed below, there are times when a t seem to respect the thinking fan, but ends up selling essence the highest bidder.

In early March, blog by a supporter of Lota-Schwager Club, announced a "almost" unprecedented presidential election, both in the area of \u200b\u200bcoal in all of Chile (Antofagasta in those days news was also surprised similar): 2009 official shirt of "mining" the choose their fans. It all sounds nice up here, but if you clicked on the link above, you may have noticed that the election began with the left foot. Ignoring the look

"Times New Roman" blog (?), The first problem is that were never very clear competing designs, because if we go by this fotolog , candidates are drastically reduced. Second, the voting was by sending an e-mail, turning the election into something very transparent , the end result can be easily changed.

Another thing that is questionable is the real festival of plagiarism that turned out to be the options to choose from. Over there you can see designs "inspired" brands such as Puma, Lotto, Adidas (Germany '94 to appear there) or Umbro, all waiting to have their logo affixed Training to be the official shirt. Such was the copy that is not even limited to existing brands, but also took the original creation of a web designer and was appointed as the candidate No. 18 (imagine that without any permission.)

Did they believe that horrors were over there? Big mistake! Finally, the election threw a winner. The alternate jersey will be the one used in 1969, taking 3 of 4 colors club classics, and the title chosen was designed by a fan of Lota, Rodrigo Lopez, as it seems, came in first place vote online .
However, the creation of Mr. Lopez suffered a setting worthy of Telmex.
As you can see, the company's treatment of drinking water in the Bio-Bio Region Essbio, becomes part of the group-injure sponsors thanks to his unfortunate appearance in the coal sweater. With total disregard for the sacrifice mining picture story , Essbio put your logo over the 3 lines that represent the club (so I have understood, the black is carbon, green for the forest industry, and know the meaning of red) and a step destroys initiative, although it may be critical in the design aspect, is applauded for the effort and the affection with which the fan in question set up his shirt.

You fulfilled the dream of every fan, Mr. Lopez. That's not discuss it, and even applaud him for it. Unfortunately, Essbio ruined his dream.

Newspaper In Trash Can



On Saturday, April 4 match was played good for the 3rd. Date of Championship Opening of the First "B" of the Chilean soccer teams from San Marcos de Arica and Deportes Concepcion. The set ended tied 2-2, with that SMA was up on the scoreboard by 2 goals most of the game.

So far, everything would be normal for a website or blog that is dedicated to discuss football. And what does it all matter to us, if our subject are the shirts? Here's the explanation.

At a time now (thanks to "ace" of Training ) T-Arica has presented some changes. The traditional blue sky with bright rose to a sky blue shirt with diagonal stripes, which would make (as I know) in a unique design in the footballing world. To my taste, is not a very good design, but apparently the leaders and the general public do not think so, because this shirt has remained unchanged for 4 years and it seems that going to the 5th.

Anyway, Arica (read "CDA" or "San Marcos") has always used more or less the same color, so it was no surprise that in the above-mentioned commitment, Deportes Concepcion was presented with an alternative shirt color white. However, this sweater if we came across a surprise, and very ugly.

This image (identical T that used to SMA) we can see why quotes are often used to refer to the character "professional" (did you see? there are the quotes) in our football. As you can see, the sponsor (Essbio healthcare enterprise) is present in last year's alternate jersey through an ordinary patch . Strange situation, but as usual far this year.

This all goes back to the presentation of the shirt, back in January, when the 2009 model was not present at the press conference and had to be displayed on a computer image . First strange situation, but would not be alone.

Then, from the team's presentation ("Night Lila") to the 3rd. Date vs. San Luis de Quillota, clothing used a "hybrid" , or purple shirt '09 + '08 pants and white socks. What about the alternate jersey? And the shorts and socks this year? Who knows where they will walk, but did not reach Concepción even by accident. Just last week, for the match against quillotanos we saw the full official costume for this year.

And now, the next date, when the whole thing supposed to be normalized, we see that the untidiness still present in the scene camisetólogo Chile. Lotto , a company that rarely causes problems, is throwing his prestige overboard with Deportes Concepción 2009 model. And leaders can not wash their hands, and that because of this issue was experienced a problem worthy of a match neighborhood.

is true, the most important thing is the game of football itself. But the shirts are a good indicator to see how neat it is the actions of leaders or policies of the sponsors. And in this case, the 2 entities out reprobate, without apology.
