Brooklyn Cosmos? Full Frontal Sponsorship Options
The Denim Kit
The New York Cosmos are shopping for land in New York City for a new stadium and have not ruled out any of the 4 boroughs (sorry Staten Island).
The Cosmos? You mean, like, Pele? Circa 1977?
Now, let’s get ahead of ourselves here for a moment, its imprudent, but it sure is darn fun. A Brooklyn-based professional soccer team will need a Brooklyn-friendly sponsor to grace the front of their shirts. No ordinary sponsor will do.

Barclays: A more well-heeled, realistic option is Barclays, The British bank made a big splash in Brooklyn by sponsoring the new Arena for the Nets at Atlantic Yards. Since they are already supporting the return of professional sports to Brooklyn it would make sense for them to support a sport they know best. Barclays has, of course, been the title sponsor of the English Premier League since 1993 and is currently contracted to remain so through the 2012-13 season.
Um, no.
NoLandGrab: In-the-know Atlantic Yards foes aren't likely to be assuaged by this option, either.
