Default MLS jerseys- Why doesn't the MLS put sponsors...

Why doesn't the MLS design their club jerseys by putting a sponsor across the front of the jersey like most clubs do?

I photoshopped some ideas together at:

If you any design ideas, put your photoshop skills to work and email them to me.

Red Bull NY already does it. Also, next year most (if not all) teams will do the same. I like what you came up with photoshop, especially the KC jersey with Dell as the sponsor.

Reference the hundreds of other threads on this topic.

As for your concepts, I like them, but be warned, Labatt and Coors would likely not be accepted because they conflict with Budweiser, the official League beer sponsor.

Your designs are utterly fantastic! We've got a few on the Revs message board. Are fantasy is to have Samuel Adams sponsor the club because of the all the connections with the local history, etc. etc. And its a great beer. I am going to link your page to our running thread on jersey sponsors. And post it here, too. Brilliant.

Nice designs.

I hate ADIDAS. No creativity in any of their jerseys. They have one generic model and use it for practically every team to have a contract with.

Really?
Because last time I checked, Honda was a major sponsor of MLS, and yet your own Fire play in Toyota Park.

For the most part, it's about how much money a company wants to spend.

Bridgeview stadium is owned by the city of Bridgeview Illinois. The Fire are the primary tenants. The sponsorship deal with Toyota is between the city and Toyota, neither the Fire nor MLS receive any money from the sponsorship.

Sometimes I wish they wouldnt put sponsors on the jerseys in MLS. Its hard to support RSL after they put xango on their kit!!!! Now what? Are we gonna change the team motto to we suck, but hey we cure cancer?
