NFL Spons-O-Meter: Lowe's, Caesars, Oakley Added For '19

THE DAILY presents a comprehensive list of the official corporate partners of the NFL for the '19 season. Lowe's, Caesars and Oakley are new league sponsors this season. The NFL in January signed a multiyear deal with Lowe's, making it the league's official home improvement retail sponsor. Also in January, the league signed Caesars as its first casino sponsor. The multiyear deal gives Caesars the ability to use NFL trademarks in the U.S. and U.K. to promote its casino properties. Oakley recently signed a four-year partnership with the NFL to make helmet visors featuring their Oakley Prizm Clear product. Meanwhile, many sponsors are solidifying activation plans around NFL 100. Visa, one of the longest-tenured NFL corporate partners, will debut an NFL 100 themed ad about generational fandom. Courtyard by Marriott and Verizon also are set to activate around the 100th season platform. A-B InBev, one of the league's most active sponsors, is expanding its NFL portfolio with its Bon & Viv brand (now the league's official hard seltzer). McDonald's is not a partner this season after the QSR quietly returned to the NFL in the middle of '17.
