Who's going to be the jersey sponsor?

[fmlizard]

In an anticipated move, the NCAA Division I Cabinet voted to approve jersey patch sponsorships in college sports. The legislation is due to take effect Aug. 1, the NCAA announced – just in time for the 2026 college football season.

Under the new legislation, schools will be able to place up to two additional commercial logos on uniforms and one additional logo on equipment during both the preseason and postseason. They can also add another logo on uniforms and apparel during conference championships.

Patches are limited to a maximum of 4 square inches per logo, according to the NCAA. The legislation is in effect for non-NCAA championship competition.

It would be pretty funny if that was our sponsor.

A rowboat or oar manufacturer would be funny for football

Some schools will probably do deals per team, others will probably be the whole athletic dept

Agree

I feel there is more money to be made by team but it is easier to do a B+ job as an athletics dept

Cub would seem like a fairly obvious option given that they seem to be pretty tied into things on the NIL front right now.

Wolf chili. Gawd, I can still taste that sample!

Probably some company with a big bold logo that in no way goes with the maroon.

It’s too bad Hamm’s is no more!

Would love to see the bear on our uniforms!

TCF looked so much cleaner on the stadium.

You can have two jersey patches. Naming rights on each sell for between $1M and #12M...we got 17 sports? It's a bargain.. 17 Fortune 500 Companies call Minnesota home. Hire Lou Nanne to cut some deals.

So the patches are only approved for pre- and post-season? What about the regular season?
