Yep, you're probably right there.
Anyway, my slogan would be:
"2016 - London to Rio Olympics or Bust!"
"2016 - Londres para Olimpíadas do Rio ou Quebrado!"

You're right again. So I'll print it on this t-shirt - maybe:
No Olympic rings, but instead - the London 2012 logo - being desecrated!
As far as I know, the manufacturer hasn't received the expected writ yet. And I haven't been cautioned for wearing it around London.
When I explain it's a protest against the draconian protection given to every aspect of the Olympic and London 2012 logos, solely for the benefit of McDonalds Coca Cola et al, I get a lot of support.
As far as the language is concerned - I'm a regular user of the Crystal Palace Sports Centre. For the last 4 weeks most of it has been occupied exclusively by the Brazil Olympic Team. No harm there, they probably paid a good chunk of money for it.
They departed today so we got our pools back.
For 4 weeks I've thought "
Time Brasil" (emblazoned all over the huge banners strung up all over the place)
was an advert for a Brazilian maker of timing devices (clocks even!)
This morning I found it was Portuguese for "
Team Brazil"!
"Of course, I forgot! It's Portuguese!"
Glad I got put right there.....
