And now, a word from our sponsors

April 21st, 2006 | By: Stacy-Marie Ishmael | 2 Comments »

Qualifying for the World Cup - priceless. Hotel accommodation, training camps, airfare, coaches’ fees - very, very expensive. Fortunately for the Warriors, some of their costs are being met by sponsorship deals.

There was a very high-profile deal completed with e-bay last month, although there have been no further developments in the press since then.

Yorke and Latas - coming soon to a tv near youThe Warriors are also partnered with the Trinidadian telecommunications company, TSTT. Separate from the blanket sponsorship of the Warriors, Dwight Yorke and Russell Latapy have just wrapped filming a commerical for bmobile, which is the mobile/cellular division of the company. (adidas - are you paying attention?)

adidas, of course, is responsible for our ‘Iraqi flag’ uniforms.

A Beer is a CaribInterestingly, we also have an ‘official partner for alcoholic beverages’ - none other than Carib beer, which is brewed in Trinidad and sold all over the world. No Red Stripe please, we’re the Warriors. I must confess, I don’t drink Carib. Shh, don’t tell anyone.

[...] World class squad - check. Loyal supporters - check. Generous patrons - check. Stirring soundtrack - check. What’s missing? A winning slogan, naturally. [...]
