In the galleries beginning on this page, you’ll find over 90 images of deal toys and financial tombstones related to the sports industry, and to sports on the professional, college, and recreational levels. You’ll see transactions involving a number of highly recognizable leagues, teams, and companies in this space. These include organizations as varied as the Danish Superliga, the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), and the National Hockey League. Also represented are individual professional teams such as the Los Angeles Dodgers, Utah Jazz, Columbus Crew, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, and Denver Broncos.

These might include, for instance, the sale of Spanish golf resort; a capital raising for an Australian provider of wearable sports performance-tracking technology (used by teams ranging from Real Madrid to the Buffalo Bills); Series B funding for a Los Angeles-based eSports company; and the recapitalization of a chain of physical therapy and fitness clinics.
You’ll also find a number of recognition gifts and awards recognizing sports-related milestones and achievements. These include a commemorative marking the 150th anniversary of Princeton Football, and athletic achievement awards for other colleges such as University of California, Berkeley, and Stanford. You’ll also see prestigious annual honors such as ESPN’s Espy Awards (including the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award), and the National Football League Commissioner’s Awards.
Other milestones commemorated in these galleries include the successful negotiation of a collective bargaining agreement for a professional sports league, the formation of a joint-venture sports network, and the Super Bowl victory of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Finally, you’ll notice among the tombstone designs included here some transactions that do not relate to the sports industry but still have sports themes. These include a cricket-themed tombstone involving an Indian payments firm, a ping pong-themed deal toy involving London-area pubs, and a hockey rink-inspired design commemorating a real estate partnership involving U.S. and Canadian firms.
