We were sponsored by Harley Heaven and not Harley Davidson themselves.

From KT last March;
"... Our commercial team has been successfully attracting excellent new local partners as well: Harley Davidson ...."

Either way it wouldn't have any effect on a sponsorship deal. I doubt your average Harley buyer has any idea where the wheels are made.

I can't see Harley Davidson on the club's corporate partners page. Were they just a game day sponsor?
Actually, it was Adelaide Bike Works and Harley Heaven - so pretty much the same sort of deal that Adelaide has with Toyota dealerships, but Harley Davidson dealerships instead.

They were a level 4 sponsor which usually starts the year with about 8-10 names and that doubles during the season. These are businesses that pay around $50k maybe up to $100k, (or provide free goods and services in that range), so its more than a corporate box which is about $35k.

Hypothetically speaking of course, could I safely admit on this forum that I own a Camry now? Hypothetically speaking.

I’m kinda pushing my luck here, but I’ve always had a thing for sponsorships for some reason, so I’ll give it a shot... for those who know who we’ve likely got lined up: if Renault’s say a 7/10 in terms of a “big name” sponsor, what’s the new one?

But if Harley Davidson are closing parts factories in Australia and the US because its motorcycle shipments to dealers fell to their lowest level in six years, then you would think dealers might be looking at value for money from sponsorships and where to cut costs.

Red Bull seem to take over. Use to be the New York/New Jersey Metro Stars but in 2006 when Red Bull became the sponsor the team is now known as New York Red Bulls. So it’s the Port Adealaide Red Bulls!
