They kept it simple because they didn't have a title sponsor. Thus the mostly blank jersey. They ran the team on Trek money and the little bit they get from their associates like Craft and Luxair and Mercedes. The big money is still there with Nissan and The Shack.

I am trying to figure out what "major sponsor" was lost.

BTW...you get rid of "that big R" and you walk away from money. Money that pays the bills.

Leopard is a management company owned by Brian Nygaard and finding that out took a little Google time.
