Kansas City Comets News Release
(Kansas City, MO) The Comets Major Indoor Soccer League team announced today a three-year partnership agreement with Citizens Bank and Trust. The agreement, of which the terms were not disclosed, brings Citizens Bank and Trust front and center with one of Kansas City's most electrifying sports franchises.
As the official sponsor of the Comets, the Citizens Bank and Trust logo will be displayed prominently on the team's home and away jerseys, as well as on the Comets' MISL field at the Independence Events Center. Another major component to the partnership is CB&T's sponsorship of Comets' goalkeeper, Danny Waltman, and his "Danny Saves" program which benefits the Boys and Girls Clubs of Kansas City. For every save Danny makes for the remainder of the 2010-2011 season, as well as the 2011-2012 & 2012-2013 seasons, Citizens Bank and Trust will donate $5 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Kansas City.
"We are absolutely thrilled to have such an outstanding financial institution like Citizens Bank and Trust as our main sponsor," said Comets' President, Brian Budzinski. "We believe that this is going to be a tremendous partnership for many years to come, and we look forward to having the Citizens Bank and Trust insignia worn proudly by our players on their jerseys. To now be affiliated with one of the strongest and longest-tenured banking institutions in this region only makes the Comets brand that much better."
The partnership was equally well-received by the people at Citizens Bank. "Citizens Bank and Trust is very excited about this partnership with the Comets organization," said Randy Baker, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development. "Everything they've done has been first-class all the way, and we look forward to a mutually-rewarding relationship with the Comets club. Most of all, this is a wonderful opportunity to impact the lives of the underprivileged youth in Kansas City through the 'Danny Saves' program with Comets goalie, Danny Waltman."
This Friday night, the Comets players will be wearing replica jerseys during the team's inaugural 1981-1982 season, so on Sunday, the Comets will unveil their new road jerseys with the Citizens Bank logo on them as they travel to Omaha to take on the Vipers. The new logoed home jerseys will make their debut on February 20th against the visiting Chicago Riot.
