FC Buffalo is extremely pleased to announce that Rich Products has agreed to continue its title partnership with the club, and will see its logo on the front of our jersey for 2016.
FCB co-owner Nick Mendola issued the following statement on the agreement.
“Simply put, our relationship with Bob Rich has allowed our club to grow to its current state. We couldn’t be more proud to represent a vital Buffalo business and figure in our city’s wonderful sporting history, present and future. To know that our jersey can be synonymous with that is humbling.
“We’ve learned many lessons from the way the Rich Products family operates, and take great inspiration from their success and faith in our club. Many thanks to the Rich family for their continued support, which we take into our ever-increasing obligation to do our very best for our city.”
The Rich Products logo has adorned the front of FC Buffalo kits since 2011, when the two parties entertained another soccer club supported by the corporation, the Bedlington Terriers of England’s Northern League, for the first ever Lord Bedlington Cup. The competition is named after Bob Rich, who on a lark was given the title of Lord of Bedlington by his wife Mindy (the Rich family traces its roots back to Northern England).

The Rich family welcomed FC Buffalo’s ownership to leadership, promotional and organizational meetings leading up to the event, won by FCB and attended by 3700 at Robert E. Rich All-High Stadium in Buffalo. We will continue to mention they threw a magnificent party at their Canadian estate that included a squash lesson for Joshua, Scott and Nick from Bob Rich himself.
“Founded by Robert Rich Sr. in 1945, Rich Products Corporation was born from an innovation – the world’s first non-dairy whipped topping. Mr. Rich’s pioneering spirit continues to guide the ongoing success of this family held company. The history of Rich Products has been marked by innovative breakthroughs, an unparalleled commitment to ‘Caring for Customers Like Only a Family Can™,’ and aggressive worldwide growth.”
FC Buffalo also wants fans to know that we will be unveiling the winning season ticket scarf design next week, and that — again — today (Friday, Oct. 30) is the last day to get 2016 season tickets at 2015’s price.
