Delta?

Coca Cola?

Chick-Fil-A?

UPS?

Home Depot?

No, it's American Family Insurance. Love that jingle. Long name to squeeze on a shirt though.
quote:

The club announced on Tuesday they have struck a multi-year partnership with American Family Insurance to feature on the first team's jerseys and training gear. It is the first MLS jersey sponsorship for the Madison, Wisconsin-based company, which also sponsors four NFL teams and counts the likes of Derek Jeter, J.J. Watt and Kevin Durant among its stable of ambassadors.

They need to rebrand before sticking their shitty 1980 logo on everything.

Very surprised, can't believe Coca Cola or HD didn't snap this up.

Coke and Home Depot are already high-level sponsors for the new stadium. Great visibility for them, and it was funny seeing how many mocks had Delta, Coke, etc and were never going to happen.

I'm just glad the kit sponsor didn't end up being Taco Mac.

Self sponsering is frowned upon.

Too bad Porsche didn't jump on it. Would have been a perfect match color scheme wise.

On the home blacks (font in red):

On the away whites:


ETA: Forgot they are playing in the Benz dome. Still would have looked good.

I like the simplicity the AMFAM logo should bring to the kit. It's a solid color scheme that would just be brought down by anything too flashy (aka Coca-Cola, Depot, etc., though the Delta widget would have looked nice).

I'm sure the people on social media who don't like this are the same that hate the club name, the lack of progress on signings, the fact that the stadium looks like an anus and have already ponied up thousands for season tickets.

Since the AmFam logo was in gold in the announcement video, I think it's going to look pretty good on a red and black jersey.

Any local folks going to 3 Taverns tomorrow? Club staff pouring at the brewery. I'm only a few minutes down the road, so I was planning on making a sexy appearance.

AmFam is apparently a big sponsor of the stadium, so this isn't surprising at all.

As long as it looks good I don't really care who the sponsor is. I'd just like to purchase merch that isn't reminiscent of old NASCAR gear or European "x0x0.123betting.com" sponsored stuff.
