Romeu Curto wrote an opinion piece titled "Sixteen jerseys" about his experience watching the first round of the Portuguese Primeira Liga. The author describes that he watched the first game with a genuine eagerness for the show to begin soon, keeping the television on longer than was reasonable.
However, by the third game of the round, Curto states that he was no longer really watching football. His focus had shifted to the players' jerseys, where he identified various sponsors such as Betano, Bwin, and Le Bull, among others.
The article suggests a subtle criticism of the growing commercialization of Portuguese football, where the amount of logos and brands on jerseys has become so predominant that it ended up capturing the viewer's attention more than the action on the field itself. The title "Sixteen jerseys" likely refers to the sixteen teams that participate in the Primeira Liga.
