Any Sport that isn't eSport or some geeky novelty sport. Bitcoin needs to be taken seriously and thus needs to cater to the regular public. Apart from the US soccer is a universally liked sport. It may be too expensive, but I could see that being the right way to go....

Sponsoring a team is expensive and requires a specific company "you can't relay on community donations to make a contract". I think with the current size of bitpay and other notable exchangers they can sponsor a 2 level football league team or a college american football team.

Bitcoin won't ever be a sponsor for sports/teams but could be the currency to pay the real sponsors.

bitcoin does not need sponsorship, just like dollar does not need sponsorship. its for businesses such as bitpay, coinbase, overstock that should sponsor sport events for their business benefits.

the only reason dogecoin done a sponsorship is not due to it being deemed as a useful 'currency' (lack of actual merchant acceptance), but most see dogecoin as holding a bag of crap. and those holding the bag of crap would do anything to try passing their crap onto anyone they can. and would do anything to get noobs to buy into their crap

Boca Juniors, an Indian IPL cricket team etc
This would really raise btc awareness in growth countries for crypto currencies

I think it might be a good idea if bitcoin were to sponsor a U.S. college football bowl.  Perhaps they should start with one of the smaller and less known ones such as the St. Petersburg Bowl in Florida.

Perhaps the sponsorship could be paid for by one of the bitcoin payment processors such as BitPay?
Isn't Tony at BitPay sponsoring the "bit-bowl" in Tampa? I thought it was on Dec. 26th.

Here you are:

Its in St. Petersburg, not Tampa.

You think so?

Golf is a great sport to sponsor, it's popular but not so expensive.

A Chinese or Indian sports team as btc needs to do more PR in those key geographies
Alternatively, a global super team like the Yankees or Barca

Bitcoin could sponsor a big basket, football or soccer team but who is going to pay for that?

I don't think bitcoin would ever sponsor a team as like Eal F Skillz said who would actually pay. I'm sure maybe a bitcoin related business like a payment processor like Bitpay or Coinbase could eventually.

Neteller are now sponsors of premier league club crystal palace so why not bitpay or coinbase right.

There's a massive difference though between fiat payment systems and bitcoin ones. Bitcoin probably is a long way of from a company sponsoring a premier league team. Net teller is probably quite big with the footballing gambling industry too. I've see it ona  few sites.

If dogecoin can sponsor a nascar haha

I dont think bitcoin community itself would be able to organize sponsoring a premier league team right now no.

Heard that seedcoin will be sponsoring Chievo Verona in  Serie A. Seedcoin is an upcoming alt coin tho. Bitcoin has a lot of power to sponsor a team. So who do you want bitcoin to sponsor?

Is it actually an alt coin this Seedcoin? It looks like it is a bitcoin start up,  but it's promoting this Jetcoin thing that looks like some sort of alt coin.

See here: Hmm http://cointelegraph.com/news/112425/new-cryptocoin-to-sponsor-serie-a-football-team
