Looking at the photos CaptainKirk provided and can't help but make a couple of comments unrelated to uniform advertising,
Nice shorts BC 45!
And, how will Ottawa ever outdo Calgary's RedBlacks?
Rona is having trouble ... stock flat last 12 months. CTC up 20%. LOW up 50%. HD up 50%.
RON spent too much in consolidating small Mom & Pop Hardware stores in the smaller areas and didn't secure product pipelines and distribution efficiencies.
But I digress ... I did find the new uniform sponsors intersting. Was PokerStars & MTL there last year?
Quite interesting. Good move by IG in Wpg. They are a National brand and the inaugural season at the new stadium, they may as well capitalize. IG, via Power Corp, should really be a league wide sponsor considering their national reach.
Little perplexed as to why no bigger name advertisers in Calgary & BC and none in Sask.
I realize it's more of a local thing for the teams but I'd think the country wide exposure on TSN weekly would be beneficial.
Wasn't Sask in big with Potash Corp or Mosaid or something?
Surprised one of the O&G co's in Calgary hasn't jumped on the Stamps uni's.
Speaking about Pot ... Isn't there a medical marijuana company that can sponsor the Lions? Cannastat Therapeutics?
I’m guessing that the “bigger name advertisers” use their bucks for TV ad’s and on-field/sideline display ad’s. A lot easier to see than the jersey patches. Not sure what other sponsors do, but Coast Capital Savings Credit Union offers a 23% discount on Lions tickets to their members.
Rona is closing a store here in Mississauga that we used to visit from time to time.
With so much competition from Home Depot, Lowes and even Home Hardware it's little wonder they are having problems.
Tim Hortons, who used to have the take out coffee business to themselves for so many years, has been feeling the heat from Starbucks, McDonalds and others.
Sears is giving up leases at three of their stores in the area. Zellers walked away from a number of them. The retail landscape is going through a lot of change.
this is how you know the CFL is heading in the right direction. Sponsor leaves do to financial problems and others step in to take their place. IGS is jumping on board in a big way others will follow suit
certainly the huge sponsor banners at Commonwealth covering the unused seats go to the highest bidder. They are as large as the sections themselves and can be seen on every shot facing the end zone
