BARCELONA, Spain – FC Barcelona, the last major European soccer team without advertising on its shirts, is about to sell out. And the message sewn into its uniforms will be uncommon.
Under a proposed five-year contract worth a reported $190 million, Barcelona's red-and-blue striped jerseys are expected to carry "Beijing" or "Beijing 2008" across the front next season. There will be no Olympic rings, but the Chinese capital – host of the 2008 Games – figures the message will get through.
