Spain and Colombia Show No Respect to Their Colors
- Match Details: Spain and Colombia played a soccer match in London, a neutral location, due to a marketing agreement.
- Kit Choices: Both teams wore their away kits, with Spain wearing yellow (Colombia's primary color) and Colombia wearing black and orange, instead of their traditional colors.
- Marketing Focus: The match was heavily influenced by marketing, resulting in a game that lacked respect for traditional team colors and created an away vs away experience.
Spain faced Colombia in London today. The two teams did not only play in a third country (as part of a marketing agreement with event company Stage Front) but also in unfitting kits.
Spain Wears Yellow Away Kit, While Colombia Wears Black Away Kit
Instead of playing in the classic red, Spain chose to wear the away kit. Meanwhile, Colombia, which wears yellow as the first choice, switched to its black and orange away kit.
It was not only an away vs away match at an away stadium, but even more unfitting as Spain wore "Colombia's colors". Zero tradition.
Zero tradition, 100% marketing
Spain will face Brazil in the Santiago Bernabéu next week. We will surely then see Spain playing in red, and Brazil, hopefully, in yellow.
