BMO not renewing jersey sponsorship

[ensco]

This is very interesting. Who saw this coming?

Those TV numbers are causing major shockwaves.

[OgtheDim]

I'd put my money on KIA/

[Initial B]

Since BMO is staying with the Impact, it's only logical that TFC gets TD (Toronto Dominion) Bank as their sponsor.

[Gringo Starr]

I would love to go to Montreal with tic tac as a sponsor

BMO not renewing jetsey sponsorship

Tim90, where are you? Even you've bailed on the team!

As long as it isn't Tim Hortons

Had a feeling that this may happen after they pumped big money into a Raptors sponsorship deal.

[Cashcleaner]

Does anyone think Porter may have the cash for it?

This wouldn't look too bad on a TFC jersey:



But out of all the suggestions so far, I think KIA is the most likely.

I'm totally OK with Tim Horton's, as long as it pays tribute to their new owners and includes a hidden Burger King mask on the inside for goal celebration purposes.

I vote for Prozac.

[Ultra & Proud]

I agree.
that would be great.
but no way InBev allows that.

If our jersey ever says Budweiser on it then I am out. I can handle our soap operas and perpetual losing but not that.

Air Canada already has ties with MLSE, I think Bell would block Rogers and Rogers saying no to Bell.

I guess the oynx jerseys will be cheap as chips end of season then

Edit: Spelling mistake in title

not a big surprise, given they are not getting much value with only 14K watching on TV. TV exposure is why they are paying big $.
I believe it was $4m just for jersey.

Don't see Bell or rogers stepping up because of the relationship. They are essentially giving money to the other guy. If they can't find a sponsor, how would they split the jersey sponsorship? doesn't make sense.

Kia is a natural but its likely closer to the new 500k floor set by MLS (with the league getting the first 200k).

My predictions:

1) KIA
2) Rogers
3) MLSE Foundation (only for one year) - based on the thread so far
4) University of Windsor - darkhorse
5) Scotts - would be interesting (shared BMO with Montreal, share Scotts with Shitbus - on their field seats and all the time on their ad boards)

I guess they are out on the stadium name as well as it comes up in 2016.

this is awesome. i'd totally vote for that!

[Ultra & Proud]

Now that would definitely be Kia Field. I can totally see that.

[Carts]

I would love to go to Montreal with tic tac as a sponsor

^ That, is, PRICELESS!!!!

If I win the $50million one weekend in lottomax, I'd definitely give money to TicTac to do this!

[Enterprise Captain]

Am I reading this wrong? It does say until the end of the 2016 season, right?

[Redcoe15]

How 'bout this winner:





But seriously, Kia may make the most sense as a jersey sponsor. And you can't count out the possibility of Tim Hortons showing interest.

[Joe Kool]

I only vote for Tim Horton's if it says Timbits on the back.

[JayMolly]

Won't miss BMO's presence. Could never understand how a Toronto sports team could wear a sponsor logo hyping Montreal. Money uber alles, of course, in which case TD Bank would make more sense aesthetically.

Subway Sandwiches have been growing a presence in sports, emerging in hockey and NASCAR. This would be a good placement for them (cue jokes about our normal place in standings). Assuming Mr. Greek turns down right of first refusal.

We wouldn't object to TD Bank but sure hope the Reds stay red and not green!

In addition, will that mean no more free jerseys if we pay with our BMO TFC card?

They already do the game in six so this would be nice.

[molenshtain]

We all know some of the issues/animosity that exists between Bell and Rogers in the MLSE boardroom...

uhh... Do we? I've never read anything anywhere about this apart from this board. And most of that is suspicions that they just have to dislike each other, cuz mutual interests! and Toronto! and Sports!

seriously. I'm not convinced there's all this backroom bitching going on that so many here seem to think is a given.

If this case, then BMO wouldn't renew their contract with Montreal Impact either.

However, BMO is still going to be one of TFC sponsors.

[TFC07]

I think it's going to be Rogers which makes sense.

EDIT:

While Hopkinson won’t identify a front-runner, McIntyre thinks the jersey sponsorship will probably go to a Canadian company with strong existing ties to the club.

It has to be Rogers!

I can't see the Bell side of the board at MLSE agreeing to that.
