So, I keep getting approached by some of the local operators of a youth sports league about sponsoring one of their teams. I told them I was pretty sure there is a law against that, but I cannot find language anywhere. Does anyone know if there is in fact a law against it, or is it more a best practices thing.
I like the league and played in it myself as a kid. The operators are regulars in our taproom and my old coach hit me up to sponsor his team (best coach I ever had). I want to give back, but I think if I do I won't get any marketing benefit from it...obviously this is targeting the parents and not the kids themselves (it's an 8-12 year old league).
We do make a non alcoholic root beer so I was thinking maybe I could advertise that specifically, but it's not really a focus of ours as it is just available in our taproom, and I don't want to poke the proverbial bear.
Any experiences with this or language that targets this specifically. I remember you used to see Bud logos as a kid at some of the local fields, it seems like they all got pulled around the same time.
