If club directors realized they could buy them in la for $20 and sell them to the parents for $60. The $40 difference is probably more than they get back from Nike/soccer.com
Lol, like the time I took my kid to play indoor soccer at the Anaheim Indoor and my wife was “never again”. Think the drunk dudes peeing in the corner by the fields and half the fields with no carpet might have been the deal breakers. Although she was down with the fruit vendor across the street in front of the Sports Complex.I don't mind the characters & dispensaries next door but regular OC soccer mom's might not enjoy the ambiance

Ones my kid was getting looked like legit Nike and Adidas gear - seemed like legit Shirts with slightly off logos or missing patches. Hell artists have knocked off own products for hundreds of years - just so they get paid. They figure if anyone is going to make extra money, it might as well be them.Biggest thing I noticed with the knockoffs is that they don't breathe like the real thing would.
Pretty sure they are 100% nylon and plastic
Adult indoor league I used to play in bought each team a Euro team jersey. We were Inter-Milan. After one wear, you couldn't wash the stink out of it.
No idea if that lawsuit would have merit, but I’m sure that someone filing a lawsuit would name anyone and everyone they could. And hope that the deepest pockets pays up.I’m wondering if the affiliate program being cut has anything to do with the mothership reducing liability when an affiliate has a legal issue? Let’s say, a coach, club member or employee has a lawsuit against one of the affiliates for a just cause. Can the person with the case sue the mothership as well as the affiliate? If so, I bet a lot of these professional affiliate programs will start disappearing.
Motherships 100% always looking to mitigate any liability. Don’t know what the contract look like but I’m sure LAG covered their ass. That doesn’t mean they aren’t also trying to mitigate any bad press. Even if they are only affiliates, the pro club is always going to try to avoid news leaks of things like: coaches sleeping with players parents, poor treatment of coaches, poor treatment of players, snake oil salesman rep and worse. Most Motherships get calls and emails from parents about stuff going on. So when they pull affiliations it is usually because they know affiliates are not good for their business/brand. Otherwise they would just keep using the affiliates to keep selling tickets and merch.I’m wondering if the affiliate program being cut has anything to do with the mothership reducing liability when an affiliate has a legal issue?

Theres a team around San Diego that wears a Liga MX shirt, complete with alcoholic sponsoring. Didn't think that was allowed!..Every weekend I see teams playing in Santa Ana wearing fake Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Puma and others.....affiliated?![]()

I bet this team is Undefeated......Smoking all the competition!@!
Still Taboo. Know a few companies who wanted to do big sponsorships and have been denied. Even been denied sponsoring small local youth clubs. Only place I saw that has accepted the ads are in Las Vegas - even then it was big enough to hit most media outletsAnd now that marijuana is legal ...
How is the awards ceremony going? Shiny new toy with some promising improvements coming or just a new branding same toy?I know first hand, by directly talking to couple of coaches that were involved in working with LAG and LAGOC, that they did a lot the last couple of years but this past year, not so much - best I can tell.
LAGOC just sent out an announcement to have Club Awards Night on 11/4 with a teaser "And Exciting News for 2020" so maybe something gets announced then.
For us, we don't care because our last kid is a senior in HS and this is THE LAST SEASON for youth soccer for us. After nearly 15 years of club soccer between two kids, our eye brows don't get raised very often any more so whatever the branding change is, or isn't, it will all workout in the end. Worse case scenario is that you have to find anther club...
