Well, considering your complaint is that having the sponsor on the shirt is "bush league", the only reasonable thing to do is to compare against leagues that you would not consider "bush" in the first place. I assume you would consider the top 3 leagues in the world, the EPL, La Liga and Serie A to be a proper standard. Which of those leagues don't have shirt sponsors?
Now if you are comparing this to North American sports, then you are not being fair because soccer has a different revenue model than say baseball or basketball. Those sports leagues make money off of TV revenue. So for soccer teams to make similar money, they'd have to do things like stop every couple of minutes of play for a television commercial time-out. Would that be more to your liking or wouldn't that be more "bush league"?
If not, how would you recommend teams make up the endorsement difference?
When did I say that? I said it was stupid. Necessary, but stupid.
Somehow, people are misinterpreting my original post as me saying MLS was bush league because of the two teams sharing a sponsor which I quite clearly never said.
You said that it was better than having no sponsor. I countered with my opinion that having no sponsor would be swell for the eyes. Do you disagree with that? Do you like having ads on every jersey? It's necessary, but not something I enjoy.
I think that BMO is hoping to attract the kids of today to be there future account holders . It will be interesting to see if the soccer youth of today transfers into future BMO account holders in the next 5 to 10 years
benfica sportig and porto have the same sponsors on there jerseys its not uncommon
Having no sponsor would mean having the city plastered on the shirt which is in this day and age bush league.
As to the Old Firm sharing a sponsor it applies only to the rivalry aspect and not to the fact they share the same city. Now if Tennant's was a west Glasgow beer only that would be something.

Pete Twinkle and Greg Stink rule!
Another summer of hope!
Wait, how does the league having cookie cutter jerseys = money?
MLS can't make the same deal with adidas without having the same bloody design for all clubs?
trust me, i share the same view. its not that theyre making money off of cookie cutter kits. theyre making money partnering with adidas, the league gets money for making their kits exclusive.
ADIDAS is the one making cookie cutter kits, and from what ive read, its the teams that have a say in whats being put on their players, not the league. adidas has templates every year and it looks like they stick to them a lot of the time without much variance, observe.. the frankenkit:
Yeah I'm just thinking that when MLS negotiates the next deal, since they are looking to improve the global perspective of the league, they'd put in a stipulation to not allow a league wide template since it's counter productive to that.
Even if they increased it to 3 or 4 templates it would be so much better than 1 for all 20 clubs.
Bank of God!
I didn't realize TMN (cellphone provider) was the bank of god. LOL
LOL.
I was talking about the Banco Espirito Santo.
I think they're out at least with Benfica.
Benfica has TMN (telecommunication) on front, MEO (TV) on the sleeve, Sagres (beer company and league sponsor) on the back.
I believe it's the same with Porto and Sporting.
LOL.
That would be funny.
TFC's sponsor is Quebec. lol
I'd like to see Fido or possibly a poutine joint.
Parks Canada anyone.
Though not the same league, Arsenal, Hamburg and AC Milan all have Emirates as a sponsor.
Doesn't bother me really. Even having BMO as a sponsor of TFC isn't an issue. They give us a bit of cash and do a lot of good things for Football development over here.
It would be funny if TD sponsored Montreals jersey, but as it stands I give it a big meh....
you forgot PSG, but i agree. now we just need a sponsor for the national program..
TD, BMO, Scotia, who cares. These may have been regional banks....many many many years ago! These are all national banks now and are a part of Canada. If there's anything to be proud of here, it's our stand-up banking system.
it's not like we're sponsored by Lehman Brothers, or like the Houston Astros that played in the Enron Centre.
sponsor all the Canadian teams BMO for all I care, they're a stand-up company that is supporting the sport and helping keeping Canada out of the financial gutter at the same time.
kudos to BMO for stepping up and spending money in a time and age where companies are hesitant to do so. Keep on sponsoring.
I'm with Cereal on the bit about no sponsor on the shirt looking fantastic. Just think back to the '70's, or look at any National Team's kit - no sponsors. Just the colours and the crest. Those retro club jerseys are delish. The shirt and the crest with nothing else on it - that's the way to go. Is it KC that's doing this now ? Lucky bastards. As soon as TFC goes that route - even for one season - I'll get me one of those shirts.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
Are you retarded? You've proven my point. Do you know what "but so is" means? I'll give you a hint, it's a lot different than "because".
Honestly, I won't be surprised if english isn't your first language, but this should be quite simple.

I'm with you on this...I never understand people's fixations with sponsors on the kit. Why would you ever want one? I know we will never see it as long as we are owned by MLSE, but it would be fantastic if whomever our next owner is went the classy route of no sponsor on the kit.
It is quite simple.... You're now resorting to personal insults because he got you.
The only thing that got to me was his striking lack of reading comprehension and difficulty grasping the english language.It is quite simple.... You're now resorting to personal insults because he got you.
Ughh..
English language ... not english language.
I think it's hilarious given their ads say they are a "loyal fan" of TFC. #truthinadvertising
fyp.
I'm not sure how long the deal with BMO is in place, but once it expires, TFC should try to use one of the organization's other existing corporate sponsors. Despite my EPL loyalties, I think Carlsberg would look fantastic as a sponsor on TFC's kit.
Can I ask you why you think any sponsor would look fantastic on TFC's kit? Wouldn't a shirt with no sponsor look even better?
