Hi

Does anyone sponsor a local football, cricket or rugby team and have your website or business name printed on the shirts?

Thanks

No not a football team but I do have it on the side of a classic touring car.

In a back paying sponsoring deal. ie the cars owner is helping me with free advertising untill my site gets into profit. then the deal is I sponsor his car..

I sponsor 3 teams at our local club (1st XV, Under 12's Under8/9's, but I don't have my company name on there as I keep my work and fun it separate (I run the mini & junior rugby section (ages 8-17), and coach the under 8's & U9's. Why do you ask?

I have seen a few kids in their football or rugby tops with advertisements covered all over them so wanted to know if others did something similar.

Sponsorship of any kind has to give the sponsor some return. Are you thinking of sponsoring a football team gkd_uk ?
How much do you spend for the return in new business ? Sponsoring has to be looked at in the long term, it's not a quick fix.

Thanks Mike

I have no plans of sponsoring a team at the moment

Just wanted to know if other members were sponsoring teams
