People recognize Ronaldo and Messi. They don’t recognize the jersey nearly as much. I’m pretty sure a large portion of new Inter Miami or Al-Nassr “fans” wouldn’t be able to identify the jerseys without the famous people in them.
I know someone who suddenly became a very vocal supporter of Al-Nassr and the Saudi league after Ronaldo moved there. After a while I asked him which city Al-Nassr play in. The answer was a blank stare.
These people don’t buy shirts. They express their “support” by commenting under 10-second videos on social media.
