I'm not sure where to put this data point but since its "news" I figured I'd put it here. I just got back from a gathering of press and bloggers with Rapids President Tim Hinchey, Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo, and Rapids Head Coach Oscar Pareja. Hinchey told us a couple of interesting facts. Average value for a jersey sponsor in MLS is 2.5 million/year Minimum requirement for a jersey sponsor is 3 years He also said the Rapids lost 2.2 million dollars last year. So its not hard to connect the dots between jersey sponsorship and profitability in Colorado.
Well that suck because the Rapids missed out on the 2.5 million jersey sponsorship. SKC is missing out on jersey deal as well. I guess these two are the last teams in MLS that don't have a deal in place .
