NBA approves selling ad space on jerseys
http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2016/0...?intcmp=hplnws
The NBA will begin selling jersey sponsorships in 2017-18, becoming the first major North American sports league to put partners' logos on players' uniforms. The three-year trial was approved Friday by NBA owners and will take effect when the league's contract with Nike begins. The patches will appear on the front left of the jersey, opposite Nike's logo, and measure about 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches. Logos appear on international and MLS soccer jerseys, and many athletes in individual sports wear their sponsors' attire in competition. Commissioner Adam Silver had said this step was inevitable as an additional revenue generator. WNBA teams already have logos, and NBA clubs were wearing them on practice jerseys. "Jersey sponsorships provide deeper engagement with partners looking to build a unique association with our teams and the additional investment will help grow the game in exciting new ways," Silver said in a statement. "We're always thinking about innovative ways the NBA can remain competitive in a global marketplace, and we are excited to see the results of this three-year trial." |

Remember, the Premier League does this with the promise that you'll see no commercials before halftime of a soccer match. The NBA makes no such promise. So **** you, basketball fans!

well, yeah, but it's kind of hard to throw in commercials during a soccer game since there really is no breaks (even after a flop, and the long wait for the "magic spray").
so it's not like the premiere league is doing everyone a solid with that guarantee.

I guess I'm used to this in the cycling world - the name of the team is the sponsor's name.
Though, I'm not looking forward to rooting for the Kansas City Cheez-its. |

That settles it. I'm not going to watch next season for the 60th year straight.

Nothing says basketball like an insurance company logo on a 22 year old black guys jersey.
Will it be like a Hooters or Aflec? McDonalds? Hertz? |
