It’s ADIDAS (again!) and not BALLY’s, not KAIYUN SPORTS not MACRON, not BOXT, or UNHCR

According to the forest review account on Twitter ( likely bull) the sponsor begins with M and is 5 letters long. Mazda maybe ? Midea?

"Moron"


(Not you, the sponsor 😂 )
 
FWIW, asked Claude for a list:

Five-letter brand names starting with "M," large enough for Premier League-style sponsorship:
  • Mazda – global car manufacturer, sizeable UK presence, has sponsored football before
  • Midea – Chinese appliance giant, one of the world's largest home-appliance makers, has been active in football sponsorship (e.g. Atlético Madrid) and has UK retail presence
  • Merck – global pharma giant (note: known as MSD in the UK/outside North America for trademark reasons, but Merck KGaA also operates here)
  • Miele – premium German appliance maker, large UK retail footprint
  • Mango – global fashion retailer, strong UK high-street presence
  • Metro – as in Metro Bank, a sizeable UK-listed retail bank
  • Marsh – Marsh & McLennan's insurance broking arm, huge global/UK commercial presence
  • Molex – large electronics component manufacturer (part of Koch Industries), UK operations
  • Mecca – Mecca Bingo, part of the large UK Rank Group gambling business
The strongest fits — genuinely "large enough to plausibly sponsor a Premier League shirt" — are probably Mazda, Midea, and Metro (Bank), since all three have real sponsorship budgets and either already sponsor sport or have UK brand recognition at that scale. The others are large companies but with less obvious football-sponsorship precedent.
 
Guys, it's obvious:

Marsh has just moved into F1 sponsorship and are involved in US sport sponsorship deals, including with Chicago Fire.

They're my outside punt.

Merck are also not strangers to football sponsorship.
 
This is quite a fun exercise in how bad AI still is - so far Gemini has given me brands that don't start with M, have 4 letters instead of 5, or are completely made up (hallucinated) :LOL:

It suggested Munya - "a rapidly growing fintech/remittance and digital finance company" - which literally does not exist. It quickly admitted this when called out.
