this was discussed a little b4 the BigSoccer Blow Up, but i never got a reply to my question . it started about WC02 having the WC logo on the corner flags despite the fact that Law I says that corner flags cannot have advertisement on them. i think the WC is ok, and that the flags should be auctioned off with the money going to referee development in smaller federations. i asked what to do about the tourneys where i work...@ the last tourney tournament officials were driving around in golf-carts changing the blank red flags for red flags with snickers logos on them. this city also was hosting the State cup (sponsored by snickers, no?) in about 2 weeks. i didn't say anything bc i'm not going to be a pill, but the laws say no advertisement. feedback welcome, even if it's scathing...not like i don't here scathing feedback from parents, coaches, fans, etc
Use law XVIII. At the youth level, it really does not make much of a difference, as long as they are logos and not true ads. I would have a problem if the flags were for Burger King or McDonalds unless they were a major sponsor of the turnament.
