Back-of-Kit & Front of Shorts Rights
$10,000 per year | 3-year agreement | Men’s & Women’s Team Coverage
Equity Alignment: Each $1 spent on sponsorship equals 1 Class C warrant unit from the club’s dilutable Class C supporter pool, subject to governing documents and definitive agreements.
The Major Partner package is a strong third-tier commercial position for a brand that wants meaningful year-round visibility and credible alignment with the Copperheads platform, while sitting below both the Principal Partner and Premier Partner levels. This partnership is built for an organization that wants to be associated with the club across a range of promotional channels through a valuable, visible, and accessible long-term sponsorship position.
What This Package Delivers
As Major Partner, your brand receives placement on the back of the match jersey and the front of the shorts, giving you visible association with the club’s matchday identity. Beyond apparel exposure, this package is designed to provide solid presence across digital, video, event, and community touchpoints, while remaining appropriately positioned beneath the club’s higher sponsorship tiers.

Sponsor table or activation space
Hospitality or ticketing options
Videoboard inventory where available
Consideration for in-person visibility opportunities consistent with this sponsorship tier
Print, Signage & Collateral
Where produced, your brand may be included in club and event materials using sponsor-provided creative assets. If a sponsor requests new creative, signage, or collateral to be designed, produced, or installed through a club-approved vendor, those production costs may be billed separately unless otherwise agreed.
This may include:
event programs
sponsor boards
flyers and handouts
downloadable club materials
fundraising or banquet materials
other club or event-related printed collateral
Community Impact
Major Partner support helps fund club operations, player development, and the continued growth of the Copperheads across teams, sports, and activities. It also helps offset travel, one of the club’s largest ongoing expenses, including regular season conference travel, East Coast playoff travel, national championship travel, annual Las Vegas 9s participation, and international touring opportunities such as England or Africa.
Just as importantly, this support helps create an environment where athletes are pushed to grow not only in competition, but also in leadership, work ethic, coachability, and service to the broader community.
Art of the Possible
This package is intended to allow room for creativity while remaining appropriately aligned with this sponsorship tier.
If you have an activation idea, and we can execute it, we are open to working with you to bring it to life. That may include co-branded promotions, themed events, fan engagement concepts, hospitality ideas, community initiatives, or other creative partnership elements that fit within the overall sponsorship structure and remain complementary to the club’s higher sponsorship tiers.
Strategic Expansion Opportunities
The Major Partner package can be expanded through separate plain-language email-based agreements to include:
additional teams
additional sports or activities
broader community initiatives
bundled multi-property pricing
custom activation campaigns appropriate to this partnership level
Sponsors that commit upfront across multiple Copperheads properties may qualify for bundled pricing under a broader strategic partnership agreement.
Inventory Flexibility Note
Certain in-person benefits depend on venue infrastructure, venue approval, and event operations. Where those opportunities are available, the Major Partner package will be given consideration for inclusion, while recognizing that Principal Partner and Premier Partner inventory and top-priority visibility receive first call.
Closing
The Major Partner position is designed for a brand that wants to be visible, credible, and meaningfully connected to the growth of the Copperheads through a strong year-round sponsorship position.
If this level of partnership aligns with your vision, we would welcome the opportunity to build a long-term agreement around this distinctive club asset.
