Attached to an award, not a banner
The league keeps a sponsors page under its About menu, and one sponsorship is built into the competition itself: its MVP award carries a backer's name, so the business is attached to the best player of a season rather than to a sign.
That is the most durable sponsorship an amateur league can sell, and it works only if the award is visible.
A High Cheese league page puts the sponsor beside the leaderboard the award comes out of and the fixture list players open every week, at an address a search can reach.
