Gothamite Posted June 27, 2012 Share 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.

Hockey Nerd Posted June 27, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Someone be a World Champ, please!Fantasy Football Keeper League.....PM me if you want to join!!

Kevin W. Posted June 27, 2012 Share 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. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
