Interesting article. Looks like a Galaxy video/social app will be coming soon… and I wonder which player gets stuck having to use Alcatel smart phones and tablets… http://www.insideworldfootball.com/...7729-la-galaxy-scores-a-sponsorship-hat-trick
More info and the download link for "Galaxy Desksite": http://www.lagalaxy.com/post/2015/08/20/la-galaxy-launch-new-hd-video-app-desksite
It’s pretty underwhelming. They keep boasting about “HD” video quality, but it’s so compressed it might as well be 480i. Also annoying default notification settings, unless you’re nostalgic for AOL’s old “you’ve got mail”
I would love to see Alcatel replace Herbalife as the shirt sponsor, even if Alcatel might not be the best quality smartphone.
i'll third that one. don't want to buy anything with Herbalife on the front. unfortunately, we're stuck until 2022
You'd think having Gio on board long term would lead to a lot of opportunity in the Mexican American community for new sponsorships.
I'm glad we are moving away from the "snake oil" type sponsors, and more towards something real. You know, like oxygenated water: "Thirdly, and going back to the end of May, LA Galaxy has found an official water performance partner in 04 Water. .. 04 offers oxygen enriched products, which they will now be able to market at the StubHub Center and on LA Galaxy's digital media. The focus of this partnership is community initiative and hydrating athletes from the youth to the senior set ups. Dave Hardat, the managing partner of O4 Water, expressed his excitement for the partnership, stating, "[t]he Galaxy are defending MLS Cup champions, and we believe in equipping athletes with the tools they need to perform and win at the highest level." And here we thought it was Juninho, Gio, Lletget, Keane, Zardes, etc. who were taking us to the highest level. Silly us.
I'll take Herbalife at $4.4M annually over more "legit" sponsors offering less money http://www.totalfootballmag.com/fea...mls-kit-sponsorship-values-compare-to-europe/
yeah it would make a lot of sense... if the Galaxy was a massive club I could see them designing a special edition phone just for the Galaxy
I'm OK with "Herbalife" across the front. Not because of the company but, the "Herbal Life". I can't remember who but, someone said they modify their jerseys to say "Herb4life" which I couldn't risk damaging a jersey for but, yeah, if you're into happy smoke... Anyone know how to modify the lettering on jerseys? That way all of you not happy with Herbalife can still buy a shirt and take it off and/or put whatever you want on it.
Ha! I knew I couldn't have been the only one to think of this. Although I've never actually seen anyone with an HERB4LIFE sponsor mod. I don't think I'd risk damaging the shirt though. Perhaps a fabric sticker of the same color as the shirt could work... just cover up the A.
