sponsorship or just something else
Could it be the Emirates and Etihad clash?
Last night there were Emirates adverts all over the Etihad Stadium

You are only required to wear FA cup patches if you are on a televised match which we haven't been last 2 games , we must have forgot.

its a puzzle do Emirates and Etihad clash to right they do
but when a major sponsorship is paid to the biggest cup in the world you think they would get on the backs of the team not having them on the shirts
city must have a reason and i hope its not just down to sponsorship

Intrigued by this I looked up the rules which are for last year, but same sponsor.
Rule 3 is a bit long to cut and paste but basically says that the competition shall be marketed under the title 'The Emirates FA Cup' and the club must refer to the title on all materials relating to the competition (list does not include shirts).
The official logo shall have lead sponsor branding.
Images of the cup shall have sponsor branded ribbons.
You have to give the marketing name out over the tannoy and display it wherever possible (not shirts)
Then we get to rule 14 which states:
Rule 14
f) In the Semi Final and Final the participating Clubs will be required to wear sleeve badges branded with The FA Cup Logo unless this is precluded by an agreement with a shirt sponsor who is a competitor of the lead FA Cup sponsor.
So, as Gordyola worked out, we are only displaying it where we have to due to the conflict of interest.

West ham had asked to wear a comemorative shirt that was navy in that game but the FA refused just before , we probably wasn't sure which shirt we would be wearing
