It is a common practice for teams to modify their football kits from one season to another, whether it involves adjusting the shade of red, introducing a new shirt sponsor, or refreshing the overall design, all aimed at maintaining high sales each year.
The Cristiano Ronaldo Frenzy
Sports retailers promptly respond to changes in demand. However, this year, a noticeable transformation can be observed while strolling through the markets of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.
The market is inundated with a vast array of yellow and blue shirts, representing Al-Nassr FC, the Saudi Arabian team.
At this time last year, it would have been a rarity to find any Al-Nassr shirts. The market predominantly offered jerseys from renowned European clubs such as Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and a select few from Europe’s top-tier teams.
Yet, since Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer, spotting the presence of the Saudi Arabian club in Baghdad has become quite easy.
Cristiano Ronaldo Shirt Sales: Al-Nassr Shirts Being Sold in Madrid
During the recent El Clásico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, an Arab News journalist witnessed a remarkable sight: numerous Al-Nassr shirts featuring Ronaldo’s name being sold in the Catalan capital.
The presence of a former Real Madrid player’s jersey, now representing an Arab team, being available in Barcelona would have been unimaginable just a few months ago.
Simultaneously, numerous social media influencers and content creators have identified the Ronaldo shirt as the newest essential accessory for their latest videos and posts.
“Al-Nassr FC are very smart,” said Ali. “They have five versions of the shirt,” he added, referring to the home, away, third and training versions of the kit. “Each color is very expensive.”
Today you don’t see many other Saudi team shirts in sports stores across Iraq.
“But if the rumors are to be believed and Messi ends up playing for Al-Hillal, I’ll be selling his shirt there too, don’t worry,” the 17-year-old football fan and sales assistant at a sports store in Baghdad, Ali said.
