Foul and abusive language spoils everyone’s enjoyment of the beautiful game. Especially in the family enclosure, where kids could be put off football for life. The Football League decided it’s time to cut it out. We showed the impact bad language has on families by turning the air blue. Literally. Ambient, broadcast, print and online ads encouraged fans to sign the pledge to stop swearing for good.
Press ads in match programmes helped stop the air turning blue
Tannoy announcements encouraged people to keep the noise suitable for kids
Fans could sign a pledge using banners on all Football League club websites
