The Current MLS Table
New MLS Adidas deal is a positive sign
On the surface, anytime a sponsor, or partner, re-ups their commitment and gives more cash to an already current deal, you can pretty much assume two things… one, that they think their deal is working for them (whatever that may mean) and two, that they believe the longer they wait to renegotiate, the more it will cost them in the long run.
And so Adidas is now the partner to MLS through 2018 (previously 2014).
In and of itself… it is a good thing… but as my friend Laurie pointed out to me, it could see the reemergence of the reserve league in some form or another. Looking at the comments in various locations, she isn’t alone in that thought. Here is this line that gets one thinking about such a thing…
