Just wanted to get other opinions on this if i could please.
As trying to get sponsorship in the past for Rachuig Teams, we always came across the hurdle of not allowing any sponsors logos on the Rachuig Team Shirts. Now i am not 100% on the rulings but i believe we weren’t aloud much or if anything to be on the shirts.
I mean in the past we have found that even when Kombat clothing have made our shirts and they left there logo on the front we were spoken too about that.
It doesn’t leave much in the way of an advertising campaign when these sponsors who put a fair amount of money into these teams, can’t even get a logo on the shirts and if they can it’s only practice shirts. This tournament only really runs for the week of any one team and the shirts worn only for three of those days. Not a good return for there investment, nor is it a good sales point when trying to get sponsors or sponsorship at all.
I suppose what i am asking now is that if Money is being introduced to the tournament does this now mean that some of the rules may be lifted to help with the financial side for the teams. I am not implying that these great team shirts be riddled with sponsors, just maybe if they lifted a rule like that it could definitely help develop the prestige of the event to bigger and better things. I know from South Qld point of view we would get a hell of a lot more bowlers to our roll of if they knew that it didn’t cost them to represent there state.
e.g.
Take the cricket for example, where the Sheffield Shield was sponsored by Pura Milk and the tournament became the Pura Cup. The sponsors get signage at the ground and unobtrusive logos on the front of the shirt and the sleeve. The competition still retains it's prestige but the $$ come rolling in from the sponsors.
Another question i suppose we have to ask is that if there is one major sponsor for the whole event, do we as individual states have to have that sponsor’s logo on our shirts as well or can we start to have our own individual state sponsors to help fund the trip to the nationals for the team. Then i suppose we run down that path of conflicting sponsors Main vs. State there is allot of grey area and was wondering if anyone has any ideas on this or any input that may shed some light on the grey areas.
Another way around it was to have the logos on the pants but the down side so to speak was people bowling with there shirts out and once again not real good coverage for the sponsors.
Just my thoughts hope some good ideas come of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
