reading Selmon's answers for on field logo and jersey patch.....they were very corporate speak non-answer answers, which is fair in this case IMO........

.....I think the bigger part is that we have not had a team that had a marketable value for this new enterprise; and getting a jersey patch sponsor and on field logo sponsor and a a good dollar figure value, hinges greatly on the the performance of this team this year.

Very much non answers.
I'm more curious why the Aggies don't have a sponsor. Maybe something to do with them considering Kyle Field sacred ground?

Bingo. ...and Starkville is a "geographical oddity", two hours from everywhere. So not many corporate opportunities near by.

A&M doesn’t have field logos for the same reason Bama doesn’t have jersey patches. We on the other hand are begging for both and can not get someone to commit to it. Theres been a ton pressure put on learfield to var something done but to be fair its not their fault the product hasn’t been worth a **** until now.

How much value would Mossy Oak think there is in a on field patch of camo ?
How about a Visit Mississippi logo with a QR code painted on the field - if that would even show up ?
A Sanderson Farms chicken on both 35 yard lines ?
A KLLM truck/logo ?

If I'm a potential sponsor of those weirdos, I would be terrified the Milkmen doing their whimsical choreographed rah rah yells might suddenly appear on screen and ruin the whole deal

Need to hit up the corporations that have plants in the area. Yokohama, PACCAR, Airbus, IP all have a presence in the Golden Triangle. Hell get them all to sponsor and call it something like YAPI😝

Only reason Bama didn’t have a jersey patch is they haven’t found the right deal yet. They made a slight modification to their jerseys this year to make space for one. Same with A&M football. When they can find a desk they like, they’ll take it.

Get a 1 year deal done and make some $. Each game that passes is inventory you can’t get back.

Perhaps he surprises me but this feels like a really poor job by Selmon thus far on this. You’ve got the best player in the country wearing your jersey on your field and we’re currently getting $0 money from both spaces.

Sign something, make money, and figure out the longs term deal after the season

it made sense to wait until this week to do something so the team could improve & we could get a better deal.

The only reason we wouldn't have announced something this week is if we're working on a long term deal with someone & close to completing it.

How about we do Delta State a solid and let them advertise on the field for one game? They could even advertise the carnival and magician!
