[1] On June 5, the Sparks and Farmers Insurance Group of Companies announced a multi-year marketing partnership that includes a branded jersey sponsorship.
The Farmers Insurance branded jersey will be worn by the players for the first time on June 6.
As part of this alliance, the Farmers Insurance name and logo will appear on the front of the Sparks jerseys and will have considerable visibility in the Staples Center during home games.
Los Angeles became only the second WNBA team to finalize such an agreement.
Based on the Sparks' 2008 record, they would pick 9th in the Houston Comets dispersal draft.
