Bimbo Logo To Be Navy & White On Philadelphia Union Home Kit in 2019
The Bimbo logo will be monochromatic for both the home and away jerseys - the Philadelphia Union 2019 away kit is yet to be revealed.
Tim McDermott, the Union’s chief business officer, some months ago said that there is the possibility of using a different brand on at least one of the team’s jerseys. Among Bimbo's many brands are Sara Lee, Entenmann’s, Stroehmann’s and Thomas’.
“They have a lot of household name brands and so we’re in discussions with them about what does that look like if they were to use Bimbo on a jersey or another brand on a jersey,” McDermott said at the time. “The new rules in MLS allow you to basically put a brand on a home jersey and a different brand within the same parent co. on the away jersey so those allow us flexibility and something that might be interesting for Bimbo so we’re in discussions with them and as you might expect we’re exploring other opportunities as well.”
Philadelphia Union's deal with Bimbo expires as the end of 2019.
