The equipment management rules, players are not allowed to wear equipment containing logos other than those of the official sponsors.

But in the context of the economic downturn, is it possible to appropriately relax the rules to protect the interests of the club? Zhejiang team equipment violation incident triggered heated debate.
Zhejiang's first round of matches were characterized by frequent violations. Firstly, coaches and players wore training suits and polo shirts with advertisements printed on them during pre-match training and press conferences; secondly, player No. 3 wore sports shoes of unofficial sponsor brands to the team's boarding point when he left the field after the match.

, they have been negligent in this area and have asked the players to take care not to make the mistake again.
However, in response to the situation of wearing training clothes printed with advertisements to participate in pre-match training and press conferences, the Zhejiang team also made an explanation. They believe that the sponsors appearing on the training uniforms and polo shirts are the club's two shareholders - Zhejiang Energy and Greentown China, which is one way the club hopes to reflect the shareholders' rights.

The company was penalized. He believes that if a professional league does not have enough commercial value, it is difficult to sustain in a healthy way. The neutral name policy has already made sponsors lose the huge stage to show themselves, and outsiders even consider it a devastating blow to Chinese professional soccer.
If there are too many restrictions on the clubs, it will undoubtedly dampen the enthusiasm of investors and clubs, making it even more difficult for the professional league, which is already struggling, to develop healthily. If the regulation is too rigid, it will wipe out the vitality of the clubs and the league.
