"Joma" New sponsor for TM?

[Kavian]

We are at a point where BRAND doesn't mean anything anymore!

We need to make sure our boys have something to wear !!

The rest is just icing on the cake !!

[KC McElroy]

This is a good sponsor for us as it kinda sounds like namaz jomeh.

you can buy copied jerseys of any country, anywhere

True. China has every team.

Companies sponsor a team because they want to promote their brand in that market, so they can ultimately make sales. In Iran, the vast majority of Team Melli and club kits that people have are bootlegs/ copies.
uhlsport has consistently lost money in Iran, and realistically they have done us a huge favour up until now. Some people on this forum act like uhlsport should be so happy since "we let them" sponsor us.
The federation recently had a meeting with representatives from 360 (China/ Esteghlal's current kit provider) and Joma. The marketing director of the federation called Vahid Jafari (Romario Sports, distributor of uhlsport) and even he "voted" for Joma.
You think brands are begging to sponsor Team Melli? You guys act like adidas and Nike are just dying to provide our kits. What for? So 10 million clones can get sold in Iran without 1 dollar of it going in their bankroll?
Its remarkable how clueless and naive some people are.

You are missing out on a big point and that is brands getting more/or for the first time exposere At the world cup with 4 billion viewers and that is invaluable for their brand name.

I would totally get a training jacket if they sell our merch on their website. They would make a ridiculous amount of money.

So much talk but NO solution is offered.

For national teams, France gets 42.6 million Euros from Nike. China gets 14.5 million Euros from Nike and they're not even a top 4 Asian side:

Germany might break the record for the most valuable international kit with 1 billion Euros over 10 years from Adidas:

The problem is with Copy Right laws that are not implemented in iran. In those countries only Nike can sell the jersey.. In iran har khari can make a replica with the Nike Logo and get away with it! Thats why they wont sponsor their kits for free bc they know they cant make the money back if they just give it away.

And again, just to be clear - the contract hasn't been signed yet.

[Nokhodi]

I guess it's not bothering anyone that they are not paying for this. Free sponsorship?! What the hell?!

Agreed.
That was at least the good thing about Daei. He would provide as much as TM needed simply because he loved the exposure.

[PSGman#19]

Torabian said they will get the kits for free but the rest of the clothing and gear at a discounted rate. Seems fair.

What's the point?

[Team Melli Fan]

But dont teams usually get EVERYTHING for free??

The kit manufacturers pay millions to the teams to basically sponsor their jerseys, but I guess not in Iran...
