Named on the jersey instead
The league runs no sponsors page and thanks nobody. Its own team lists give the game away: Roccos Tavern Brewers and C Audigier's Lions both carry a backer's name where the town would go.
That is sponsorship at club level doing what it has always done in Los Angeles — a bar and a clothing label putting their name on a Sunday side — and the league captures none of it. High Cheese carries sponsor placement on both league and team pages, which is the same arrangement made visible to the next bar that might say yes.
