My prediction of Domo is nothing more than a hunch. I just know they are pretty involved in soccer. They even sponsored the RSL women. A roommate of mine a few years ago was working for Vivint and told me that they were all but set to be the jersey sponsor before Lifevantage swooped in and outbid them just before pen hit paper. I don't know how true that is though. Anyway we're stuck with Lifevantage for another 7 years, so who knows what could happen between now and then.
Qualtrics is paying quite a bit for the Utah Jazz 5-for-the-Fight logo. It will become a Qualtrics logo next year I think - it was a confusing announcement, but they're an example of a local company (pre-IPO iirc) spending millions on sponsorship.
Yup, doesn't make a ton of sense for a pre-IPO tech to spend dollars on that kind of marketing unless they're a consumer internet brand, which Domo isn't, it's Enterprise analytics, doesn't really line up with their marketing profile TBH. I think the next sponsor will be something like a Zions, Delta, Vivint etc. Actual consumer brands who would benefit from name recognition and placement.
As was said in posts not all that long ago - Xango was set to be the sponsor much longer than they actually were. If Lifevantage can't pay the bill, it opens up the competition again
I can't link twitter to here as I'm at work, but the RSL handle posted a teaser of the new kit (it had blue and red on it) with a February 8th release date. Blue has the MLS logo which is on the sleeves of kits, so there is that. edit: here is a story on it from the soapbox
A 10 year contract had to be shortsighted, no? Surely the value of a shirt sponsor was going to increase in that fine.
Rounds 3 and 4 of the MLS draft were yesterday. We took the following players: PASS While I get the talent pool is considered very shallow, I can't help but feel like we could have at least tried something different here. As said before, this is a very low cost setup for talent acquisition. Would it really be that harmful to the club to take a flyer on 3 guys? Straight passing isn't going to ruin our season, but when one of these round 3 or 4 guys turns into an MLS contributor we'll be wondering "what if"
I think it’s safe to say it’s blue sleeves with red body. 2009-10 jersey minus the blue going up the shoulders.
One thing I haven't seen anyone mention is the lack of yellow stripes. Does this mean we'll have the stripes on the body instead of the sleeve?
that is the new Adidas design, no? The 3 stripes run along the body of the jersey (under the arm on the body) instead of on the sleeves See below Man United jersey that they wore in our friendly last year. Hell, even the primary this is replacing was on that design:
Good point. I forgot that the current primary has the stripes on the body. I'm an idiot. I'll be in the corner if anyone needs me. Here's a leaked Union jersey. Stripes could be on the shoulder. I hope this leak is real, because that is a sharp looking jersey. 955464733041348608 is not a valid tweet id
Union has always been my favorite team from a branding perspective. Too bad the jersey sponsor is so awful. Anyway I think preseason training kicks off today. While I feel it's been an exciting off season so far, a closer look has me feeling like this tranfer window has actually been weaker than the last two. Hopefully Craig has more signings coming.
I'd take Bimbo over LifeVantage. I'd love to have someone like Audi be the sponsor. Realistically, I'd take anyone that has a good or decent logo.
Maybe Tesla should be the new sponsor since they can’t sell cars in the state. Go after that good will.
I know what Bimbo is. It doesn't change the fact that the aesthetics of the logo clash with their color scheme.
What?!?! You want the RSL jersey sponsor to be a bunch of airheads?!?!? Personally, I rather have Delta or maybe Rio Tinto since they are the stadium sponsor.
Skull Candy The mock-ups I've seen with them as the sponsor (some were on here, I believe) were really really cool
I can see a teddy bear striking fear in the hearts of RSL's opponents. Why don't we just change the color of the uniforms to pink and have My Little Pony be the uniform sponsor. If we are going to do that, I want this to be our jersey logo. Our half-time music would be "Four Horsemen" by Metallica.
