anytime they get a sponsor on their jersey is great. who cares if its bestbuy, besides the galaxy have freaking herbalife, what kind of sponsor is that? in spain sevilla has 888dotcom, its a freaking gambling website. whoever doesnt like any sponsor on any jersey, keep doing what your doing by not buying the jersey.

All I can say is, at least our sponsor is a real company…unlike…picking randomly…Herbalife.

Christian, you’re probably right. The Galaxy’s promo shirt looked like somebody slapped a bumper sticker on some guy’s chest. Much better now.

I believe that when Salt Lake debuted their Xango kit a few years back they just slapped a white piece of cloth over it. I’m sure once the Fire take the field it’ll look a little more professional.

Not a terrible choice, IMO.

Very true, Tavis. Profitability is nothing to sneeze at, and for better or worse, shirt sponsorships are an important way to get there.

If I were a Chicago fan, I wouldn’t be laughing at $3-5m per year for at least the next 3 years.

haha majors LOLZ. I live in Chicago, and literally saw this exact picture in the newspaper this morning. thought it was hilarious, and Blanco’s thumbs up makes it even better. I feel like if they just had the best buy lettering in red it would have been better rather than having a big ol’ red box.

Well, at least they didn’t slap the yellow logo on top of the red stripe. That would have been hideous. I think Best Buy would have fit better as a sponsor for the Crew.

MLS contracts are going straight down to Ligue 1 standards. Crappy sponsors all over the place.

Looks like the $10 shirt you can buy at the sports store. well the plus for me is that i am a regular at BB, rewards zone and all. The down side is all the MLS sponsored jerseys besides LA’s look like a bad t-shirt billboard. I’d feel embarrassed to wear this yet i sport my AIG as if i own the company. Today is Novotel. Yesterday, Chaucer. Maybe MLS can go to sponsor patches instead.
