The Bimbo Controversy
Published by Julia Volkovah under jerseys, Philadelphia Union on 7:41 AMAs you may have heard yesterday, the Philadelphia Union signed a $12 million deal with Bimbo Bakeries that will place their logo on the chest of the jerseys. If you're not familiar with Bimbo, you obviously don't live around many Mexicans.
Not surprisingly, this has pissed off a few locals as they feel the team has "sold out" to corporate money and severely uglified their uniforms. ESPN Girlsports even ran an article claiming that the sponsor may be SEXIST. While claiming that the name of a bread company is sexist is 1000% retarded, I can agree that this makes the uniform look terrible. But there's no reason to get all shocked and disgusted by this -- it's SOCCER. This is what they do.
Plus, let's take a look at the uniform of a purely American sport. To an outsider, this shit is infinitely more ridiculous.
