Gothamite 23,686 Posted June 27, 2012 How many EPL/Championship clubs are sponsored by offshore casinos/sports wagering sites? Doesn't seem to ding their credibility.Offshore gambling sites are at least honest about what they are. Pyramid schemes with dubious "health" claims are far sleazier. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey Nerd 0 Posted June 27, 2012 Well there it is. Ugly logo. But hey, cash monies for players, right?I still prefer the FC Dallas script, but at least they chose a local company. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't seem to ding their credibility.Offshore gambling sites are at least honest about what they are. Pyramid schemes with dubious "health" claims are far sleazier.My ex-girlfriends family was pretty high up on the pyramid scheme of Advocare. Her family always pushed me to sell it. So I tried some of their products, biggest waste of money ever. Felt like it did nothing for my "health" haha. But yeah the MLS is hurting it's brand by having companies like Advocare sponsoring their teams. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin W. 1,875 Posted June 27, 2012 Would've been cleaner if the advocate logo fit in the white hoop.Advocare. The Advocate would have been a huge step up.Seriously, though - three pyramid schemes as MLS shirt sponsors? Doesn't do much to establish MLS as a quality brand itself...But Amway doesn't sponsor San Jose anymore. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gothamite 23,686 Posted June 27, 2012 Forgot about Amway.But yeah. Three dodgy pyramid schemes among the most exclusive and high-profile sponsorships that the league has to offer. Not good. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spottedbadger 4 Posted June 27, 2012 Uh so yeah, turns out the Liverpool third shirt is even worse than expected. It actually has a tribal pattern on the sleeves. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
