Toronto FC Shirt Sponsor Revealed
There wasn’t much revealing to be done. There was early speculation as to whose corporate name would be spattered across the front of Toronto’s Jerseys. Carlsberg was probably the favorite, but something tells me the name of a beer across the front of a football uniform wouldn’t be appreciated. Even if it is good beer. There was some more speculation, but the speculation ended when they announced in a press release that the new uniforms would be unveiled at BMO (Bank of Montreal.) It’s BMO Field, so why not BMO on the Jerseys as well? Well, that’s what they did. Now we can feel a little bit like Wigan as they have JJB (their stadium) across their jerseys, of course, this probably isn’t a good thing.
The new kits were revealed today at eleven in the morning eastern time. A discussion of the new kits can be found on the Red Patch Boys site under “Toronto FC Talk.” Check it out, there’s some good stuff. That’s where I stole this picture from (Alex In Toronto). Hopefully the new kits will be out soon.
Arsenal has Emirates (a Dubai airline) as shirt sponsor as well as name rights holder to their stadium. There’s no shame in any of this, but we gooners still call the new digs Ashburton Grove.
