What's on the jersey in the preseason games?
What's on the jersey in the preseason games?
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.
Naming rights to stadium were not set to Expire this year, BMO still sponsor.
The jersey's naming rights were up for grabs, but I heard BMO has renewed for 1 more year.
Have to wait for the official word, but I have a feeling it is true.
I hear BMO too, but never know until its official.

positives if this is true:
Old gear with the sponsor won't look dated.
Maybe they'll release our new Away kit soon.
I'm good with BMO. Just like Wagner said all the gear we've got is still going to look current lol
I wonder how much BMO is paying to renew jersey sponsors?
Booooo...
I strongly believe that BMO is our curse.
Is it really just the 3 million? I'd assume it's a bargain for some companies to advertise on jerseys for that money.
I hope it's BMO. It would look so funny to have anything else. Plus, as far as sponsor logos go, you could do MUCH worse.
I hope that we get Trojan Magnum Condoms as a shirt sponsor! F*#@ BMO!
Interesting ....

Kurt Larson TWEET...BREAKING: BMO extending stadium naming rights with MLSE for 10 years; kit sponsorship for one year, sources say. #TFC #Argos #CFL #MLS
It's now official.

^ Not surprised in the least. Though I will say it's curious to see them also extend the kit sponsorship for just a year. Maybe it's just me, but it sorta suggests there wasn't a huge demand from companies to get in on a sponsorship deal.
Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
This does kill my theory about ScotiaBank taking over jersey sponsership.
^ Yeah, I could see that. That might be exactly it. Another ten-year contract for the stadium name is gonna be a HUGE chunk of change, afterall.

IIRC, naming rights go straight to MLSE - the city gets nothing. That caused a kerfuffle back in the day.
pretty good for BMO...getting their name mentioned a lot during the Grey Cup.
but the Argos don't get any of the benefit of the sponsorship money.
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.

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).
