Aftonbladet: Sales of Bara Bada Basta fan shirts in Sweden -violated rules

Swedish The broadcasting company SVT has forbidden the sale of fan shirts sold by the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest, with Bara Bada Bastu.

The Swedish magazine tells about it Aftonbladet.

SVT justifies the prohibition by the fact that sales of shirts breaks the rules of the melodifestivalen.

After his victory, Kaj started selling t-shirts, which reads the name of their competition song. On Monday, shirts suddenly disappeared from the band’s online store, says Aftonbladet.

Melodifestvalen Project Manager Anders Wistbacka justifies the prohibition on the magazine by the fact that “all competitive performances have a 30 -day waiting time, during which they must not appear in commercial contexts.”

“This also applies to parts that support the presentation. The name of the song is such a part, ”Wistbacka says.

Band managers Helene Wigren confirms to the magazine that the t-shirt is no longer for sale. According to him, the band was not aware of the rules of sales.

Other fan products are still on sale at Kaj’s online store, including t-shirts that include “one two three sauna”.

Also pre -favorite Måns Zelmerlöw as well as a competitor Erik Segerstedt have been criticized for their commercial activities during the Melodifestivalen tour.

Zelmerlöw advertised his wine on social media, and Segerstedt was considered to have referred to his competition in his Instagram story in a way against the rules.

Both had to remove their publication.
