I thought of "flagship player for each shoe" but I could find no similar web references.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

the "featured" player for each shoe
Robert,
It appears that this is what they are saying.... I think they are referring to the featured player or soccer "star" who represents each shoe company, etc..... Anyway, I have never really heard of a "flagship" player in any context..... I hope this will help...

maybealso , the "well known player", or the "super star" as you had listed as a possibility.....

standard bearer?
I kind of liked "flagship player". Anyway, this is a takeoff on the "abanderado" of Olympic delegations.
