GB ski team has always had a corporate sponsor prominent in its name when they've been lucky enough to have one. No one cares ( well that could almost be a generic comment about GB ski team as well).

Maybe you're just not used to seeing it on the shirts of your sports teams so it feels a bit more in your face.

Kruszewski is on the board of trustees of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation and has been for years. It looks like his pals there hit him up for money so he volunteered to spend some of Stifel’s shareholders dough. It’d be pretty hard to make the case that this is a compelling investment that will promote Stifel’s business but, given his long-standing tenure as CEO there, no-one will gainsay him.

I have no problem with it on the shirts of sports teams, but I can never remember which Stif(f)el is extra effed.

Or, rather infamously:


No doubt that's just me tho.

Sorry that none of us got the Stifel vs Stiffel. Sometimes you give us too much credit.

Or Cialis. What about when Subaru and Toyota were and Land Rover is the offical vehicle of the team.

Not sure what the "official" team vehicle is but they are driving ... at Copper

Lots of synergy here with the elder athletes on the team. Steve Nyman can finish out his tenure with the ski team and move right on to his Stefil managed retirement account.

And I have purchased Barilla pasta. I don't expect to purchase Stifel financial services. Jokes on them....
Yes, in the store in Dillon,Co après ski. We’re looking at pastas… “Well we should get the Barilla.”
-Mikaela?
“Yeah”
-Ok, sounds good.

Haha me too! She even visited a Barilla mill nearby a few years ago.

Admittedly I never paid attention to Putnam or Stefil until they sponsored ski racing and I’m their demographic so it’s not entirely wasted marketing.
