Cheetah Back on Team Melli Apparel

In response to widespread criticism by environmental groups, the image of Asiatic cheetah was finally added to the Iranian national football team’s apparel, although in a smaller size than expected. 
Reportedly, the picture was not printed because the logo was not given to the manufacturing company in time. 
Adidas, the leading sport clothes producer supplying the Iranian team’s apparels, did not agree to attach stickers on the shirts on the grounds that the ventilation system would be disturbed. 
Finally, the Iranian Football Federation decided to attach a small sticker in the center top part of the jerseys.
