Realogy and the Jets

Parsipanny, N.J.-based Real estate brokerage and franchise company Realogy Corp. is teaming up with the New York Jets pro football team. Realogy announced this month that the company and subsidiaries Burgdorff ERA and Cartus will serve as sponsors for Jets community relations programs. Cartus is Realogy's relocation services company and Burgdorff ERA is a New Jersey brokerage company with about 700 sales associates.

Dave Weaving, Realogy’s chief administrative officer, said in a statement that in addition to the sponsorship, Realogy is "working with the Jets on the relocation of their people and operations into New Jersey in 2008." The Jets are moving their training camp and corporate headquarters from Hofstra University on Long Island, N.Y., to Florham Park, N.J.

(This begs the question: If the team trains in New Jersey, plays its home games in New Jersey, has a corporate headquarters in New Jersey, and wears new jerseys, shouldn't they be the Jersey Jets?)
