Communicating through visual design is efficient (Krishna, Cian, and Aydınog˘lu 2017; Labrecque and Milne 2012) and especially relevant in sports contexts. The brief displays of sponsor logos on or near athletes during an event offer little opportunity to convey the brand’s support and activate an association with the team (Mazodier and Quester 2014). As a result, investors often regard sponsorship announcements pessimistically (Mazodier and Rezaee 2013). However, we argue that optimizing the visual display may improve brand sponsorship efforts. This is important because brand expenditures on sports sponsorships are outpacing general brand advertising in North America (4.3% vs. 2.6%) and exceeding $62 billion annually worldwide (IEG 2017). Sponsorship also remains one of the few avenues to reach mass-market consumers in fragmented, on-demand, commercial-free (e.g., Netflix) entertainment contexts (Gijsenberg 2014; Thompson 2016).
