Sponsor Switchup
The off-season has seen the Grilled clubs' financial and marketing departments go into overdrive, with there being new names on jerseys for next season, as a result. Volto would opt not to renew their sponsorship of the Birds after a frankly underwhelming campaign, and although former paymasters Brutaliste Architecture were interested, the main prospects were MegaBrain Research and RNA Random Numbers Accounting. Grilled Birds eventually went for the former's uncomplicated proposal.
"It's not the right time to be worrying about incentives and whatnot." head coach
Tian Yonghang explained. "We want stability above all on the backend, not that we're hurting for cash, actually."
It was a similar story for Farmer Bunnies and Grilled International, who opted for cookie-cutter deals with Bigfoot Balls Sporting Equipment and Mardi Grass Gardening Services respectively. Interestingly, the Buns will be guaranteed the most from these contracts for the next season, perhaps partly due to having negotiated particularly well.
