Sponsors on a football shirt can often be a touchy topic for fans, who generally prefer their kits to come with minimalist branding. Once in a while, one does come across jerseys that resemble billboards, and this new Persib Bandung kit from Indonesia’s top flight, with several sponsors on the front of the shirt, unfortunately appears to be just that.
Persib finished fourth in Liga 1 in the 2018 season. They’ve never been relegated since the founding of the modern Indonesian league and have even had the likes of Michael Essien and Carlton Cole play for them this decade.
There are plenty of sponsors on this jersey- Indofood, Permata Bank, Go-Jek, Halodoc, Elevenia and Corsa to name just a few.
There are some South American clubs (and potentially even lower division French ones) who could give them a run for their money, but this, I think is the most number of sponsors I’ve seen on the front of a jersey- well into double digits!
