Sponsership, yes or no?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone find the BJJ Gi's offensive...they are tattooed with sponsership.

 

I have sen some tourneys, where they have not permitted competitors to wear their uniform due to advertising.

 

I think advertising on warm up suits, with school advertising (ie. noting sponsors on flyers), is not a bad idea.

 

You have to watch that it doesn't cross a line though I think. I would let coke put a machine in our gym, or a sign in our entrance, but I would'nt turn my uniform into a walking, talking, fighting coke can.

Well... All other sports have sponsorship so why, rationally should Martial Arts be different? I don't see why everyone is so caught up in the 'traditions'. Like it's offensive to wear a training shirt with Coca-Cola on it... why? Who is it offending? The Japanese guys who decided they wanted to create something that would make you a killing machine? I hope they are not crying at the blatent disrespect of it all.

 

Just a thought.

Should I wear a patch on my karategi? NO NO NO. i train in Shotokan and I like the traditional "view": nothing on your gi. Plain white and a coloured belt :D

 

Should a karate school be sponsored? Yes. Why not. Many people throw money on things, why not donate some for a good karate school. If a firm offers money, their banner could be posted somewhere. At the entrance or in the waiting room, if any. NOT in the real dojo ...

Sponsorship could be more subtle if, for example, your sponsor was your uniform supplier or your safety equipment supplier.
