In 2008, Tommy Varden ended the 25-year association with Galway football, and was replaced by Aer Arann as sponsors. After entering receivership, however, Aer Arann were forced to pull out of the sponsorship two years early, having sponsored the team in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 seasons. In 2011, it was announced that the footballer's jersey would carry the logo of Cancer Care West. This made Galway the first GAA team to display the name of a charity on their county jersey rather than a corporate sponsor.
