So they're gonna end up being sleeved jerseys with sponsors.
 
 
Trying way too hard to be soccer.

assuming they continue to not sell them with adds theyll be fine. if they sell them with adds, then sales will plummet.

 

[buzzy]

Definitely gonna be sold with them

Depending on how they do it, it could work and still look good.

I've always said I wouldn't mind if they did something like the WNBA does for a few games a year:

Haaaaa GAYYYYYYYYYYY

I don't know why you guys are so mad. I'm looking forward to the Cleveland Cavaliers Vagisil sponsored jerseys.

I wish Delonte West was still in the league so his team could be sponsored by some bipolar medication.

Not sure if they'll change the front logos like WNBA. Look at the jerseys from the rookie game which had "Hill" or "Webber" on the back. I'd assume it'd be more like that, at least to start.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Adam Silver fucking shit up from day one. 

 

[The Young One]

This dude sucks.

Pretty much all star weekend is a preview
Adidas gets a logo on the jerseys
Rookie game and saturday has patches for events
Rook game had tramp stamp patches this year

And sleeves = more ad space. Said it day one

I'd trade jersey ads for fewer commercials, but we'll get plenty of both.

 

[Millz]

That is rediculous.

There is no need for ads on the jerseys, we see ads on the tv, on the sidelines. If they want more ads it would be better to have them on the court. There is no need for it on the jerseys. Fuck this dude and his ads.

What would happen if a team didn't want an ad on their jersey? Do they have to?

 

[RipCity32]

Lol makes good business sense. Million dollar industry needs ever penny they can get I guess lol.

 

[elcheato]

I don't understand the outrage, at all. It's going to just be another logo on a jersey, who honestly cares?

Why would they decline? It's free money, not as if the ad is restricting their play.

As a fan it sucks to be over advertised to, but from the league standpoint it makes sense.
