The Toronto Montreals

March 24, 2007 @ 09:10

Maybe I think too much, but don't you think it's just a little odd that Toronto's team in the Major Soccer League is sponsored by the Bank of Montreal.

I understand sponsorship is sponsorship and the prize goes to the highest bidder, but don't you think this is stepping over the line just a tad. And maybe it wouldn't be so bad if the Bank of Montreal logo was plastered across the front of Toronto FC's jerseys.

The jerseys were unveiled yesterday and those in attendance were surprised with the logo aspect. Of course MLSE was quick to point out this wasn't so much a money grab, as it is adopting a tradition from European soccer. It just so happens to be a lucrative one.

But sponsorship ship aside, there's something that doesn't sit right with having a Toronto pro sports team wearing uniforms with a Montreal logo on them.

Granted, it's only the letters BMO, but we all know what BMO stands for and it's the "M" part that I find bothersome.

Again, I may be thinking too much but I just wonder what the reaction would be if the situation was reversed. I don't think it would be too well received.

If it makes you feel andy better, Bank of Montreal is Bank of Montreal in name only. They even own Harris BankS in Illinois.

As it turns out, Toronto soccer fans aren't petty enough to have issue with having BMO plastered over their team's jersey.

Which makes sense, of course. I mean, it would be awfully silly to even think it's an issue.

Some time ago, I needed to buy a car for my business but I didn't have enough money and could not buy anything. Thank goodness my father adviced to try to get the loans at reliable bank. Therefore, I did so and was satisfied with my financial loan.
