OS Naming rights delayed

Posted by Sean Whetstone on May 17, 2015 in Whispers

Rebranding of the Olympic Stadium has been delayed, it is believed a naming rights partner for is now not expected to take effect until 2016 when West Ham move into the Stadium.

The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) were expected to announce the winner of an auction the naming rights by the end of last year, but a spokesperson has confirmed any deal would not be announced before the Rugby World Cup. It is understood that the stadium would need to be unbranded for the Rugby World Cup, which has its own commercial partners.

Any naming rights partnership would not take effect until 2016, when West Ham United are due to move into the venue a spokesperson confirmed.

Naming rights are being sold LLDC, who stand to take the bulk of the revenue from any deal. West Ham have said they are entitled to a share of the income as part of the football club’s 99-year tenancy contract if certain commercial conditions are met.

    What are the odds on Westfield being involved?

    My favourite in England used to be the KitKat Stadium as I still love that chocolate bar.
    In Germany it used to be the name of Fuerth’s ground (Fuerth is near Nuremberg), named after the local toy factory making it the never bettered Playmobil Stadium…

    The city of Berne appear to be highly critical of their Young Boys naming their stadium the ****dorf. Will Newham be equally frank?
