I was going to start posting all sorts of pictorial proof, Greg, then I realized there was problem not point in trying to persuade you. Suffice to say your wife is a wise woman.

Brian – No problem and Beers are always welcome. Martha – You share an attraction to Nuno Gomes with my wife which I will never understand. Almost all – the main shirts have the sponsor Portugal Telecom. The ‘tmn’ logo on the away shirts is the mobile(wireless) arm for Portugal Telecom. I personally find it really odd myself that all 3 have the same sponsor but couldn’t dig anything up on it as to why or any manifestation of widespread dislike for the situation or whatever. Besides, aren’t Rangers and Celtic both sponsored by the same company?

I love how they all have the same sponsors but different kit makers. I think all three have really nice home kits (though Benfica’s looks a little too Bayern Munichy for me) and poor away ones.

Well, Nuno Gomes looks good in pink — I have a feeling that was a primary selling point of those kits. And pink or not, it’s a hell of a lot better than those old school (and not in a good way) Porto kits. Nice v-necks.

Yea, I’ve been wondering about the sponsorship thing. Anyway, Porto’s home and away looks perfect. The Benfica and Sporting home are looking good as well, but the aways…

Greg, color me ignorant, but I see the Portuguese teams all have the same home/away shirt sponsors, how does that work out? Thanks.

P.S. BTW, Thanks for the Jorge Fucile info. Next time I’m in NY to see my brother we’ll have to get a beer.
