US Army invested 11 million dollars to put a patch on UFL jerseys to help with recruitment
Well it is safe to say we have a new way to recruit for our United States Military!
Per NBC, The U.S. Army is investing 11 MILLION DOLLARS this year to have their patch on team jerseys in the UFL, expecting to recruit between 160 to 891 individuals through this sponsorship.
The Army announced it is partnering with the United Football League, a budding alternative to the National Football League, as the service looks to score a touchdown on recruitment after fumbling to reach its goals in recent years.
The UFL, formed from a merger of the United States Football League and the XFL, kicked off its inaugural season in March. With eight teams spanning from San Antonio, Texas, to Detroit, Michigan, the two conferences of footballers are set to play a 10-game regular season.
This is a ton of money! I mean I hope it is longer than a one year deal! You gotta love it!
