Are You Serious...

Barcelona just released, or maybe I just became aware, of their jersey for the 2011-2012 season. For a club that prides itself on being more than a club and for bravely standing up to Franco's regime in opposition to a certain outfit from Madrid, the sponsorship of both Nike and the Qatar Foundation is a bit interesting. Neither exactly trips from the tongue when one thinks of human rights and the gold or yellow thread definitely isn't too subtle in suggesting the nature of their relationship with Calviola's crew is. (I was going to say "conjunto" but wanted to avoid offending the cules by using the language of Cervantes.) On the plus side, the jersey is delightfully effeminate and with those lovely stripes I think it would do nicely as a nightshirt for you... or perhaps a friend with whom you're interested in sharing a bed.
