I've been given SN's go-ahead to set this thread up. Essentially, it is a place for everyone to discuss their sponsors for next season. Always exciting stuff 
However, it will also be used as a sort of catalogue of all the sponsors that have been decided upon so far. More specifically, I will list the nationalities and colour schemes of any jerseys that I know have been produced so far. This, hopefully, will ensure that every team is distinguishable from one-another, and that there aren't duplicate sponsors or over-used nations.
For the sake of manager privacy, I won't list actual sponsors unless the manager has released this info. Alternatively, if you don't want ANY of this information present, leave a comment or PM me, and I'll remove it

Planning a season is the best part of the ManGame, so it can´t start too early.

Jayco - Red Bull will be turning into Simply Red Bull.
That is our sponsors will be Simply Market (from the AuchanSuper group) and Red Bull for the third year.
We will be keeping the distinctive Red and Yellow colours.
Australia will no longer be our nationality, we will be principally a French team.

Couldn't agree more. There's still a lot of this season to be raced, but so many people are already looking to next season in terms of sponsors and jerseys, it made sense to set this up.
Should make things easier later on, too, like when allocating bikes to teams.
Smowz, interesting that you're becoming a french team. It's been kind of unexplored this season, and it seems like france has gained a slight popularity already for next season. Much like Germany this season, I suppose.

I think you can guess our new sponsor 
HTC is back to business. We're still will focus on Belgians, but with HTC we'll hope to welcome some international talent too.

It is never early to be ready,so nice initiative.
If Metinvest will have a chance to continue in the man-game, than i can corfirm it would be called Metinvest-Emirates,staying mainly Ukrainian and riding Kuota bikes as this year. The colours are right.

Btw, just to make sure. The name will be // HTC Nieuwsblad // 
Rather than Het Nieuwsblad - HTC, think that's incorporates both teams sponsors quite wisely.

Love the name (A nice play on words), also love that we will get a new french pro tour team (since I'm pretty sure you promote
I've looked a bit at the up-coming free agents, there will be a good amount of good french domestiques, then again you do not lack domestiques, it's leaders you lack for the Pro Tour ;-)
I see my color scheme is already in there, I will use the chanse to put my name (and show the jersey for the first time aswell) here. Just to be sure noone else plans to do about the same. The jersey was made by AnFreeman half a year ago
Next years name: VolksWagen-Mapei
I've always liked the Mapei jersey, and thought it was time for Mapei to join the mangame

@Heine:
Nice jersey and cool to have Mapei, but Mapei have been in the game before - see the ProTour in 2009
@jt1109:
We've never had a Canadian team before I dont think, so that could be a nice hole to fill

Check out the Teams Archive thread to see which riders they had. They were quite a forgettable team to be honest!

I don't know if I am going to change the sponsor it's a 50/50 chance that I will or I won't change it.
If I would change the sponsor then there are 2 possibilities:
1st: a license holder team (so not much of a sponsor) with the jersey mainly (very) dark blue with some black and some white details
2nd: a sponsored team but I don't know yet if there is a good one
At both it would be the team goal to establish in the ProTour and having a international team instead of getting a lot of riders from a specific nation.
But if I would change it, then I would have to create a jersey and it took me some time to have the simple Bianchi one so that I like it.
Somehow I failed to establish a good german team which was the goal 2010 and which should have been with Bianchi 2012, getting a Ullrich type rider and building the team around him with still having a good chance at 1 day classics.
It's very weird that season after season my team had less and less germans but my team was more and more successful. 2010 -> 2011 -> 2012
So having a german team just leads into fails.

I see they had some nice riders (Goss, Van Heerden, Gilbert, Ballan, Gusev), but they finished 17th their last season. Funny fact is that it was coming from CSC :-p
