US leagues eye MLS jersey sponsorships - PRWeek US

As of now, the Real Salt Lake club and Utah-based supplement juice company XanGo have signed the only sponsorship deal. A source close to the situation, who expects that four or five more deals may be finalized by the start of the season, says, "Each of the deals will average over $1 million a year. These deals are going to be considerably bigger than the majority of deals those smaller teams in the English Premier League [have]."

A Wall Street Journal article in September reported that the Los Angeles Galaxy club was in discussions for a "multimillion dollar" deal.

"They're going to be very strategic with this, and look for the right brands and partners, and balance those investments with what makes sense overall," says Derek Aframe, VP at Octagon, a sports and entertainment marketing firm.
