Sporting activities are becoming more and more common with time. Many people get more involved as time goes by, from those interested with the game itself to those who are optimistic of benefiting indirectly. Many companies, therefore, have joined the sporting industry as apparel brands mainly in form of kits and gears. Some of the leading sports apparel brands companies include Nike, Puma, Adidas, K- Swiss, and Pong.

The main reason as to why these companies join the sporting fraternity is because of the assured full audience thus enhance marketing and product promotion. Many people like different types of sports making them aware of any brand involved in their game of interest meaning that in the event of a new product then many people will be able to know about it.

An association, team or individual may get as many deals as possible with these companies depending on their demand. The contracts are very binding and worth millions of dollars every year. The renewal or termination of the contract will depend on the consent of the two parties whether they are benefiting from each other or not.

Short term contracts work best in these deals. This is because a company may not be able to ascertain the progress of a team after a long period of being consistent in sports is tough. A team performing very well always has a large fan base thus ensuring a branding company of a potential ready market. Therefore, the contracts are typically renewed depending on the competitive level of the team.

The same pressure of playing befalls individual players who want to maintain their well- paying contracts with these companies. They will always strive to maintain or even raise the bar of their performance. Long time injuries will always be avoided at all cost since it affects their out- put. These companies are also keen on the age of the person they wish to have a deal. As age advances, contracts become less.

Branding has helped in improving sporting standards both in the sport itself and even outside the sport. Additionally, many different sports, teams and personality are united under common brands especially during exhibitions. Teams are always working hard with the aim of improving their performance to maintain their brand deals. Apparel companies also promote the value of a contract if the team keeps a good performance attracting many fans. Other branding companies also try to lure the best performing teams into having better contracts with them.

Sporting individuals are always forced to work harder every time to maintain the appetizing contracts they have improving their quality and output for their teams eventually making the sports more competitive and valuable. These brands enhance competition by sponsoring annual awards to honour the best sports personnel and teams. By doing so, every athlete tends to work extra hard so as to secure these deals or keep their ongoing contract with these companies.

Apart from raising the competition levels, branding has improved the discipline and integrity of all stakeholders in the industry. Any individual found in a scandal will have all his or her contracts terminated since these companies will never want any association with an unethical partner which tarnishes the companys image. Cases of cheating have also diminished.
