    To have the colour of the Coca-Cola logo in a different colour to anywhere else (in this instance, it's black and white, rather than red and white).

    PS - This may also be (unofficially) the only place in the world where the Coca-Cola logo advertised (the official one) is not red and white.

    Eh?

    Every club in the Football League that don't play in red and white have it in different colours!

    How the hell could you possibly know that?

    Well done though.

    They WON'T advertise Coca-Cola unless it's in colours other than red and white, because River Plate play in red and white and they don't want the colours associated with the club.

    Nar then...

    I know what you mean mate.

    Those coloured badge thingeys that the clubs have in the programme and what not. No, I'm talking about an actual coca-cola advertisement. Not a gimmick to do with the club but an actual advertisement. They've actually (officially) changed the logo to black and white, because they wouldn't allow coca-cola to daub La Bombonera in red and white. If you go to the ground or see pictures - there is NO red and white colour anywhere near it.

    was a big red and black coca cola logo across the front of the ponty end a couple of years ago

    Several big yellow and green ones at norwich and not a red and white one in sight.
