This  1899  ad  inviting  players  to  form  a  football  club  led  to the  birth  of  FC Barcelona . In 2006 , they  put  an  end  to  their  106  year-old  tradition  of  not  having  a  sponsor’s  name  on  their  jersey  by  entering  into  a  5  year  deal  with  UNICEF . However , instead  of  getting  paid , Barca  pays  UNICEF  0.7%  of  their  revenue . Way  to  go , Barca !
