I'd pay $1K to FC Dallas to put this on the front of their jerseys, for just the games at the new stadium.
from what ive been told/read/heard is that the only reason euro clubs have ads on thier jerseys is bc they dont get the same TV deals that US club get. So the ads generate revenue that TV doesnt. For US clubs its the opposite.
and you heard this from...? im looking for my sources. i think it was on OTL but im not sure. and i really doubt the prem teams get the same tv contracts the US does.
the english premier league is a HUGE tv property in asia as well as many countries in europe. the TV rights go for a lot of money. not NFL money, but they are the biggest tv ticket in europe. That being said, the teams don't negotiate their own tv deals like in MLS. the league has the tv rights and sells them accordingly.
And.......WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!! Huzzahs all around. ALPO was a hometown sponsor, being that the team was based in Allentown, PA. Of course, it's way better than Preparation H or Cruex or something...
Google now go look I'm not going to do all the work for you. They don't I said that they have a good contract with SKY, but not NFL money I believe the NFL got $4.4 billion just from FOX for the NFC rights.
Overseas TV rights are tiny. Always have been. Sell to 100 countries and it all adds up to a tidy sum, but the premiership rights sold in England are still well in excess of the rights sold to the rest of the world put together. Shirt advertising started about 25 years ago when TV deals were much smaller. Clubs get around 100 times more now than then. It was just an extra way to generate revenue. It was seen then as a necessary evil, and is viewed much the same way today. Nobody thinks shirts look "cool" with a logo on them.
lol you said "huge" money, but im not gunna debate your words. the fact is the TV deals that euro clubs get is nowhere near US clubs and the jersey sponorships are revenue created to make up for that. you go google that bc your info isnt right.
Hundreds of millions of pounds is huge money to me sorry I'm working class. Is MLS so successful that it doesn't need to increase revenue? If shirt sponsorship will do that then yes I support that. Unless you want to see more side by side commericals.
BRUSSELS SLAMS TV DEAL Brussels has slammed the Premiership's new £1.02bn deal with BSkyB. Embattled competition commissioner Mario Monti, who has been facing problems in his fight against cartels, declared, 'The announcements so far made by the Premier League suggest that BSkyB will have an even greater monopoly over live television rights than was the case in the past. This is bad for competition on broadcasting markets, and is bad for consumers.' If the Commission forces the Premier League to restructure the rights on offer and deprive BSkyB of exclusivity, the pay-TV group will lower its offer by several million pounds. Such a move could cause chaos among England's top football clubs. Many have already budgeted for the next three years on the assumption that the £1.02bn would be paid in full. The difficulty for the Premiership is that there are no real rivals to BSkyB with the cable services having only a weak share of the market. They are so enfeebled and divided that they cannot be serious contenders for any mass market television rights. The auction is therefore a charade, but it would be even more so if it was run again.
