In many cases the club will have a sports logo that it similar to the firm that’s founded it, or the club will wear a kit that consists of the company’s colours.
Sport provides a great deal of sponsorship opportunities for any business that wants to move into this sector of marketing and advertising. The benefit of this form of advertising is that there are games every weekend, frequent news stories following players and clubs, but also a great number of forms of marketing and advertising accessible. Within all the sorts of marketing just about the most popular is to sponsor a club’s football shirt. The team does not receive money directly from the sale of soccer tops, alternatively they get compensated by the sponsors for the right to sponsor a shirt with the clubs logos on; so it is important that the club gain sponsorship from a large brand name, to pull in a large brand the team must sell as so many tops as possible. This form of marketing and advertising is not restricted to just soccer, it is typical in practically all sports for a shirt to have a minimum of one sponsor, the exception being national teams jersey's which are not endorsed by any brands. There are other large forms of advertising in sports, and one of them being the sponsorship of entire divisions, and this is some thing the Telecom Italia board decided to do, through its sponsorship of the primary Italian division.
