Was just thinking about this, does anyone know about the sponsorship situation? Any idea if BMO has reconsidered, given TFC's new-found glory with Giovinco? Last two games ahead, and I know they will be clearing out all the merchandise. But, not sure I want to get anything BMO-crested if the sponsorship is changing next year.

That is a great question.

Last year we thought it would be the final year for BMO as they were clearing out at a BIG discount all merchandise with BMO on it. We were disappointed because we wanted to update our hats and scarfs (no BMO crest) but they would not give us the 50% off discounts! We have two more matches at home to see what happens this year?

I have a bit of inside information (I'm not usually this cool). This is from a couple inside folks within the banking / sports sponsorship areas.

So BMO as a company is moving towards basketball as their main sport affiliation. This year BMO was "given" the TFC shirts as part of a bigger deal to get the $$ for the Raptors. Thats why there was such a big delay in announcing the sponsorship as they were dotting the ii's in the bigger deal. Next year the TFC shirts will be a new sponsor. They are actively shopping right now.

Is the BMO sponsorship deal up at the end of this season? I can't remember how many years they extended the original agreement. It would not come as a surprise at all if they extended it again, but hard to tell what the price would be. All the big name companies around are wanting to get on the Blue Jays bandwagon, so TFC may be getting a little overlooked by potential future sponsors.

It was up last year and there was a 1 year extension this year.

The real interesting thing is I think the BMO field deal is up this year (Its was a 10 year deal signed in 2005) so they may be shopping for a new field sponsor as well:

If it was a 10 year deal it would make sense that the 10 years started in 2007 when the stadium opened and not when it was signed. That would give it a couple more years as BMO Field.

Interesting. There are two sponsorships though, the shirts, and the field. Is BMO giving up naming rights to both? Perhaps that's why I didn't see some of the merchandise I've seen in the past (e.g., red rain jackets, heavy field jacks etc.).

Yes they are giving up both, if I'm not mistaken the Stadium deal ran till the end of this year... The jersey till the end of last year. So instead of finding a major new sponsor for both they extended the jersey one more year (this year) to have the negotiating ability to sell both separate or together which ever yields the most amount of money.

From the link you posted: The remaining funds came from MLSE, which paid $10 million for the naming rights (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_rights) of the stadium for the duration of the 20-year management agreement, which they later resold to the Bank of Montreal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_Montreal) for $27 million over the first 10 years.

Why do you think the argos & grey cup is at the ex next year. MLSE wants maximize the price its gets for the stadium name for the final 10 years, to help pay for the stadium reno. Maybe someone like Canadian Tire will step up.


As for the jersey sponsor, like most people said Kia will probably step up for the minimum (which i believe is US$500k). Or else Rogers and Bell will alternate, if they can't find one. Don't see any other TFC sponsors stepping up. Just an excuse to sell more jerseys for ML$E

I've been a West Ham fan for 30 years. I probably have 6 jerseys with different sponsorships. It's what makes collecting your favourite teams Jerseys part of the appeal.

Then throw in the TFCII, and the academy teams (which all are not wearing any sponsor).

Could be one large massive deal, or multiple big deals.

Yep it's got potential to be a massive deal. Our old one was what? 5M/5 Yrs so a mill a year ? I could see 3.5-5 a year for 5 years... Rogers, CIBC, Scotiabank, Canadian Tire(maybe) would be my favorites to rep on my chest for the next 5 years

Same here.

I wouldn't be surprised if Scotiabank steps up, continuing their CFL partnership. If BMO is done, I don't think Scotia would want another bank on their new flagship turf. :)

I would assume Kia as well but they may not want to buy the package as i assume the stadium rights and the kit rights are being sold together. Certain companies may not want to attach their name to something that could be getting negative press like the stadium could during the first few years of sharing with the other thing.

The other thing is the Argos and the CFL. Those words won't be censored here.:frown2:

Maybe they will take the new tenants as a great way to synchronize sponsorship? Is it still Rona?

Keep the MLSE war going! How much of a middle finger would it be if Rogers takes up as sponsor! It would make sense, only because they own 37.5% of the team, they have the Rogers Zone and the Rogers Club Box. Seats stay red, and if you don't want to put the actual name Rogers on the jersey the logo itself would look cool on the kit!

I agree so far as its preferable to have different sponsors but not unheard of (see Glasgow) but the fact that one of the two teams represents the same city as their sponsor is what makes it redonk to me. Montreal can have the BMO.

I looked around and it seems like they are actively looking at sponsoring sports teams and it makes sense since a good portion of the fan bases would be in their targeted demographic. I have no problem with them sponsoring a team. In my eyes that site causes a lot less damage to people than the fast food or booze companies that are on a lot of kits worldwide.

well all these beers are all now owned by InBev, we already sell there products, they could just step it up a notch and invest to put it on the Jerseys, not that I like InBev as a company (They just buy up any brewery they can globally), but just saying

I find big companies like InBev that buy craft breweries don't necessarily make a beer worse then it was before buying the brewery, I just find they often tend not to come out with any new exciting beers anymore which is often a popular thing craft brewers do is always inventing and trying new things, instead they just remake all the beers that have already been made in the passed by the original craft brewer. However big companies like InBev sometimes make a beer more accessible once they take over as they have major distribution in place (especially in Ontario where InBev are 1 of the 3 major players of The Beer Store) and more advertising, but overall new creative beers for the future usually don't happen any more. They focus on increasing sales of old beers rather then inventing. This may not always be the case, but has usually been the case for many breweries InBev has taken over in the passed. I guess it sucks the life out of the spirit of craft beer in a way.

I am not suprissed really that Mill Street was taken over by one of the big brewers as Mill Street was one of the biggest craft brewers in Ontario, but also they made mostly 4%-6% beers, many middle of the road beers, in a sense of they often created beers that was not to adventurous and beers that even a everyday Molson Canadian Drinker might enjoy (tho they did make the odd beer eve as high as 11% barley wine). But overall it made a lot of safe beers that InBev figured was a safe bet, it was obviously going to be taken over eventually, someone said about 2 years ago to me that Molson or InBev was forsure going to buy it eventually and Mill Street is just waiting to cash in on it, well they were right!

We're off topic but still, my thing with the big guys and probably what will happen in this case is that they'll discontinue the brand I like (Stock Ale) and focus on a couple that seem to get more promotion (Tankhouse and the horrible Organic). But I guess it may be at BMO next year for something like $16.50 for a large.

ya, haha. sorry we are off topic. But I bet they will still have Stock Ale, but they will most likely really push Tank House and Organic, and advertise it more. That was kind of my point what companies like InBev do, the beers will most likely still be there, but they focus on sales usually, pushing smaller beers on the back burner while more popular beers they try to increase sales, often not making new beers, which are a common thing in craft beers.

Looks like MLSE has been working the sponsorship angle for the raptors:

http://www.thestar.com/sports/raptors/2015/11/13/toronto-raptors-biosteel-strike-naming-rights-deal.html

Welcome to the BioSteel Centre.

Naming rights to the 68,000-square foot training complex are the highlight of a partnership the Raptors and BioSteel, a Toronto-based sports drink manufacturer, announced Thursday.

“This is a $50-million facility. Selling naming rights to it was important if we could find the right partner,” said Dave Hopkinson, MLSE’s chief commercial officer. “It’s an ideal brand marriage. This isn’t simply putting a name on a facility. It’s an integrated partnership.”

BioSteel already partners with Basketball Canada, and had sought a deal to place its logo near team benches at Raptors games. But a bigger opportunity materialized and BioSteel president John Celenza said he couldn’t refuse it, especially when trying to stand out in a crowded sports drink market.

“When I heard the category was open it seemed like a logical next step,” Celenza said. “You have to make more of a major play when competing in that space.”

Over the last two years BioSteel has signed endorsement deals with several high-profile Canadian athletes, including NBA star Andrew Wiggins (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAqzRj8x2Q8&list=PLdo__m9UUOSpLPBcTdq3ha6O0gj45N0ik&index=20) and NHL prodigy Connor McDavid.

The Raptors deal is BioSteel’s first partnership with a major-league pro sports club, but founder Matt Nichol has a long relationship with the Raptors’ parent company.

Nichol came up with the formula that became BioSteel more than a decade ago when he served as Maple Leafs strength coach. Since then the company has evolved to include pre-workout drinks, recovery drinks and nutritional bars.

When Nichol and Celenza started the company in 2010, the Raptors were their first customer.

The practice facility, located at the western end of Exhibition grounds, is still under construction and set to open in February.

Based on TCP-IP's feedback I doubt it's Canadian Tire (as obviously he would have known what they do/sell). Forzani Group is owned by Canadian Tire and they would never advertise/sponsor as Forzani. It would have to be Sport Chek or one of their other retail banners so once again, based on TCP-IP's comments, I don't think it's them. However, I always thought Canadian Tire or Sport Chek could have been one of the company's in play so if TCP-IP isn't as well informed as we think, or he's not well versed in Canadian retailers, then it could still be one or the other.

Based on TCP-IP's feedback my guess is he's talking about Lassonde. They already sponsor through oasis juices and their red logo could be odd with all of our red. So many kids participate in soccer in Canada and who loves juice more than the kids lol! I'd be surprised if they went with Lassonde on one of the kits though and not a brand (Oasis, Del Monte, etc..). Anywho, that's my guess based on his feedback.

I'd love to know the logic for them pissing away money on adds in soccer in Germany? Pissing money away when oils is <$30 a barrel!
Of course they could be the green screens with custom messaging for the Canadian TV viewership. Must be that.



Petro Canada is a good shout. After all, they did just sponsor Wolfsburg in Germany.

Petro-Canada does business all over Europe in lubricants, not gasoline. That's why they advertise there.

It was like that all season. They sponsor a lot of our content. We have a significantly wider range of advertisers than most of the league. I assume BMO has the rights to shirt and stadium (for now) and a few small things on the side. A bunch of sponsors, namely Budweiser and Bacardi, have their name's on a lot of our other content.

All I'm saying is I wouldn't put a lot of stock in it.

I think it is just the shirt sponsor that is changing. The naming of the stadium I think they have one more year on the contract from what I read. It is possible we could start the season with a blank jersey like other teams have before. I am sure they would like it in place before the season but probably not that important in the grand scheme of things.

That'd work for me. I might actually buy my third-ever piece of merchandise - after a scarf and a hat. Not paying big cash to wear clothing that advertises a bank. Or a car maker, pizza franchise, booze merchant, etc. They can effing-well pay me to do that.

MLS has minimum $ amount for shirt sponsors. I believe the floor is was lowered to 500k/yr a couple years ago (and MLS takes a chunk of that).

still is $4million in lost revenue for the club, although i doubt BMO paid anything close to that last year for extending one more year.

That's not remotely fair to say. In fact, it's pretty lame.

I got to spend a fair bit of time working in the Carolinas and Virginia a few years back, with our work bringing us into contact with NASCAR events and race teams like Joe Gibbs Racing, Roush Racing and Hendrick Motorsports. We met some of the nicest, most welcoming people. It was like being in the Maritimes. There aren't too many hillbillies around Charlotte, Raleigh or Richmond.

As for the race teams we dealt with, they were smart, competitive and amazingly accessible and well spoken around media. But don't let that get in the way of your overdeveloped sense of superiority.

Maybe TFC want to wait another year for the stadium to be finished, doesn't the BMO naming rights expire next year. Perhaps they want to leverage the increase in TFC value when the stadium is complete and then package both jersey and field rights together.

It's a great move, particularly this late in the offseason. Hard to know if they are going to use the one year extension on the kit as a test for a longer deal, but it wouldn't surprise me. They've pretty much owned the soccer sponsorship space and its only growing in profile although TFC / MLSE could be asking for too much money.

Just goes toward the stadium debt. I guess the roof and redone eastside benefits both TFC and argos fan experience, and extra revenue for both clubs from expanded eastside seats, suites and concessions.

Yep.
MLSE just borrowed $120m for the reno. They will just take all the namings rights $ and pay back the debt for the reno.
Nothing will go down to the club level. TFC didn't borrow $120m, MLSE did. If BMO paid anything for shirt sponsor (and MLS rules say its has to be 500k minimum), that goes to the club.
Naming rights will not affect season ticket prices ... shirt sponsorship revenue probably affects if they change season ticket prices

you have to separate the club (ticket sales, sponsorship, player salaries, front office, etc) from ownership (board level management, financier, and providing services to all its club plus now argos through services agreement).

Not really. MLSE runs the stadium - naming rights are stadium revenue source part of the deal with the city. MLSE has a lease with TFC as well as the argos. The lease reflects some sort of market rate for renting the stadium, concessions split, parking split with MLSE, leaser and the city, etc.

You got to look at it that way. MLSE could sell the club tomorrow to some Saudi prince. The saudi prince wouldn't get the stadium, they would just get the club. MLSE would continue to run the stadium under contract with the city.

Shirt sponsor would be club level. Directly effect the profitability of the club. Profitability of the club has a impact on ticket prices.

Naming rights cash will go directly to pay down the money MLSE spent on the stadium, no impact on the club. (ie. The naming rights will not give TFC other $2m to sign another DP)

MLSE as an organization will make money off this deal. It's not like Bell and Larry can take 66% of that sale and put it into the Argos, doesn't work like that.
