This is what will make us superior to everyone els. we can offer potential sponsors something no other club can.

Exciting news. Big name sponsors like this will help keep the $$ flowing in.
As mentioned on twitter I'd love to see some NY sponsors as well.

Potential kit sponsor?

 

[Buckley]

Potential kit sponsor?

no it just means we will see more signs around the stadium that say nissan on it

Nissan co-owns Yokohama with CFG. Makes good business sense.

Nissan would be a cool shirt sponsor.

 

[Andy]

But this is how we have stolen a march on the competition, by offering a more or less global presence.. $100bn car manufacturer want a global reach thru sports? Call us..

This pretty much guarantees the empty space in the baseball diamond is going to have a shiny Nissan sitting on it.

It won't be a kit sponsor. You can tell because they stated they are NYCFC's "official automotive sponsor", which means they are not considered to be a top-level partner. Get used to the world of signing "official <x> sponsor"s for just about anything that can be branded. Official logistics sponsor, official recruitment sponsor, official energy drink sponsor (and I'm not even thinking of the Harrison Exiles here), official car battery sponsor. All things I've seen PL teams sign sponsorships for.

Oh, we've seen that kind of hilarity in USA sports too.

Apart from kit sponsors and outfitters (which is a different beast entirely for American culture) the US created this type of sponsorship segmentation...

So, thanks!

The genie is already out of the bottle:

Manchester United Have An 'Official Noodles Partner'

Hell, don't have to go far to prove that. All one has to do is listen to the Yankees on the radio. Seems like every damn pitch is sponsored by someone or another.............and quite frankly that's not really that much of an exaggeration.

 

[MagnusPax]

Would you prefer Latin American style 35 shirt sponsors? Many Euros do it too.

 

[Mr. Blue]

Bring on the sponsors, noodles and all. More money coming in the less likely well be playing games at Yankee Stadium in 2020. As long as it's only one shirt sponsor.

I don't think money is the problem for NYCFC. I think not spending too much is their problem.

I never thought about getting a Leaf until now.
