I have questions re: this vendor. Is this vendor now associated with any other teams? Are we the first? Have they applied to other owners to sell their products at their stadiums? Have they been turned down? If they have, who did? I for one would like to know more.

The bolded is nothing more than a blind assumption. What evidence to you have to suggest this? 
If I were to venture a guess as to the selection of the sponsor, I'd say it was more of a calculated choice to rebuild bridges damaged by the kneeling controversy last season. Absolutely nothing Lamping does with this organization comes off as rushed or haphazard to me. 

I'm sure if the brand affiliation proves to be more divisive than Khan would like among his fans and potential fans, he will simply make a move to distance the Jags from the brand within the agreed upon terms of contract. 
I have a feeling it won't amount to much as long as the "in-stadium" merch and activities are properly managed.

This. It's deserves a repeat... If you watched the SOTF, the decision was certainly calculated based on the statistics. They are attempting to speak to it's largest "financial" supporter. As was said, it may fizzle out and they'll bring in another sponsor. I'd be willing to bet most of the ear piercing disagreement with the direction of the NEZ is being made by those that have not and probably never will be hanging out up there anyways.
