I looked at parts of some football games this weekend. There was an indoor tournament Dynamo Kiev won, I beleive in Paris, where "Commodore" was spotted easily. Arsenal - Chelsey (sp) showed a large Commodore sign, and the same from a game in Italy. I didn't look at any German games this weekend, but I've seen before that at least two teams have Commodore on their shirts. "Kick Your Amiga!" Commodore Sweden had some dubious advertising about two years ago, but has stopped that. They seem however a little more interested in what they are doing nowadays.
