The NASL San Antonio Scorpions have signed a new sponsorship deal that will see a sponsor’s logo become an official part of the team crest, but will not result in any sort of rebrand. The sponsor, local investment management firm Deeproot Funds, will expand on a current partnership with a new multiyear deal with the club that is valued as one of the largest sponsorship deals in NASL history. Additional financial details of the deal were not disclosed. Deeproot Funds had previously entered into a sponsor deal with the team in March ’14.
With this new deal, the Deeproot Funds logo will be integrated into the Scorpions' team crest and will be featured in any application where the logo is seen, including player jerseys, merchandise, tickets, broadcasts and in-stadium images. Scorpions President & GM Howard Cornfield said that the team and Deeproot Funds were looking for further ways to expand their partnership in a unique way, and both parties felt that this was a way to further integrate what they felt was already a strong connection between the two.
