Real Madrid remove Christian cross
from logo to appease Muslim
sensibilities and seal lucrative 'strategic
alliance' with Abu Dhabi bank Real Madrid have removed the cross
from their club crest as part of a
lucrative three-year deal with the
National Bank of Abu Dhabi. It is believed the European champions'
new crest, minus the Christian cross,
was created so as not to offend Muslim
sensibilities in the United Arab
Emirates, where a marketing drive will
take place. Club president Florentino Perez
labelled the deal as a "strategic alliance
with one of the most prestigious
institutions in the world". But the redesigning of the famous club
badge shows, according to Spanish sports paper Marca, how far top clubs are willing to go, including sacrificing
part of their famous identity, to
generate new revenue streams. A new credit card, which doubles as a
Real Madrid membership card, was
paraded by Perez where the new
design is clearly seen. The importance of the deal was
underlined by the wheeling out of a
multinational gathering of the club's
stars, including Gareth Bale, Dani
Carvajal (Spain), Toni Kroos (Germany)
and Karim Benzema (France). The 10-times European Cup winners,
revealed the new design with no
fanfare, with images only emerging
now, despite the "strategic alliance"
being signed off in September.
"I know that the local people
experience every match in a special
way and that our links with the UAE
are constantly growing stronger,"
Perez said recently. "This agreement
will help the club to keep conquering the hearts of followers in the United
Arab Emirates.” The original logo, which will still be
used in Europe, is pictured, left,
complete with the tiny Christian cross
on the top.
