bjm676 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) U.S. Cellular becomes presenting sponsor of the 2005 Chicago White Sox season CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox and U.S. Cellular have agreed on a new marketing partnership in which U.S. Cellular becomes the presenting sponsor of Chicago White Sox Baseball in 2005. It is believed to be the first agreement of its kind for a baseball team in Chicago. As the presenting sponsor of the 2005 Chicago White Sox season, a specially-designed U.S. Cellular/White Sox logo will appear on all print publications, including the gameday program and the media guide, and on all White Sox advertising, including billboards, print, TV and radio spots. U.S. Cellular also will receive in-game radio and television mentions, in-park public address mentions and ownership of in-game promotions. In addition, U.S. Cellular also will sponsor several promotional nights, including Opening Day and a fireworks night, will work with the White Sox to develop a charitable component to benefit the Chicago community, will execute promotions at retail locations, and will provide opportunities for U.S. Cellular customers and employees to experience U.S. Cellular Field through a ticket voucher program. "We appreciate U.S. Cellular's continued commitment to the Chicago White Sox and the team's fans," said Brooks Boyer, White Sox vice president of marketing. "There is a strong connection between our brands in the marketplace, and we both strive to offer the best customer service experience in the market. This partnership will pass the benefits of that synergy to our fans, and continue to grow U.S. Cellular's customer base. It's a true partnership." "U.S. Cellular has a great relationship with the White Sox that has helped tremendously to build our brand in Chicago," said U.S. Cellular president and CEO John E. Rooney. "We're proud to be involved with a baseball partner that shares our passion for serving customers, and we're extremely pleased to have a role in enhancing an already great game experience." One of the unique aspects of the partnership is the creation of a jersey giveaway on Wednesdays, known as "U.S. Cellular Win-a-Jersey Wednesdays," in which 15 randomly-selected fans will have the chance to win a game-worn White Sox player jersey during each of 12 Wednesday home games in 2005. In addition, one fan will have a chance to win $10,000 on the final U.S. Cellular Win-a-Jersey Wednesday, September 21, compliments of U.S. Cellular. This partnership complements the 2003 naming rights agreement that put U.S. Cellular's name on the former Comiskey Park. U.S. Cellular also becomes the presenting sponsor of SoxFest, the club's annual fan convention held each January. Additional marketing and charitable elements are planned. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. :puke Edited March 2, 2005 by robinventura23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 To whomever was defending the name of our ballpark in that other thread, I hope you're happy now. I predict Joan Cusack will be the next manager of the USC White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 This is kinda like the Bears and Bank1. "Meet your 2005 Chicago White Sox spondored by U.S. Cellular!" Hey, do the Sox get any money for this...I know they got $65 million for naming the Cell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Everyone thought the bears naming thing was a big deal. Truth is, you barely notice this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yeah, honestly, I thought the Bears thing was going to be a big deal and it wasn't at all. This won't be either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I NEVER noticed it except for in the 2 pre-season games I watched that emphasized it a lot. I can't recall hearing anything about Bank One during the season. Maybe BankOne dropped out cuz they sucked so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict Joan Cusack will be the next manager of the USC White Sox. I'm no less happy. What's in a name, seriously? Almost nobody calls it US Cellular Field anyway, everyone I know except me calls it The Cell or Comiskey. This corporate gobbledygook means nothing to me. I still don't find the stadium name to be that bad at all, I still don't own a cell phone ( my wife has one, but I refuse ) and I still fail to see how anyone can say that Joan Cusack is attractive. I look at her and I see the Joker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
