When Blank Would Be Better
-
The downside to team jersey sponsorships is that if your company gets in trouble, your jersey takes on an uncomfortable tone. Ask the LA Galaxy, whose jerseys are sponsored by Herbalife. That company's being investigated by the FTC, but it says it'll maintain its soccer sponsorship. (This is reminiscent of when Manchester United was sponsored by AIG.) If you're a fan, do you want to wear a jersey with that logo on it? (Could be worse, though. I'd buy a Philadelphia Union soccer jersey if the sponsor wasn't Bimbo Bakeries.) (Los Angeles Times)
