Come fall, it's highly likely you'll see a small 2-inch-by-2-inch sponsorship patch stitched on the shoulder of your favorite player's game jersey.

"I think it's likely that we'll do something, implement something, some sort of plan for the fall," NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver said. "I think it's fair to say that our teams were excited about the opportunity and think there is potentially a big opportunity in the marketplace to put a two-by-two patch on the shoulder of our jerseys."

Because the NBA needs more sponsors and money...

I got no problem with it.
My only concern, similar to the giant TV deal they have compared to ours, that the Lakers will get an ad of State Farm or something national and huge, and we'll have an add for Ron Tonkin or Mattress World.

I don't like sponsor jerseys. I think it's ridiculous that soccer jerseys don't even say the city name or the team name on the front.

Stick a Nike swoosh on there, or maybe one of those green heart Oregon stickers that you see on cars.

it'd be really, really funny for portland to sell a nike "ad" to put on an adidas jersey.

I still think it looks like it's the Alaska Airlines corporate team.

 

[THE HCP]

Watch we'll be sponsored by The Acropolis or some condom company!

They cant afford the million + $ price tag.
I'll bet its a big company like Wells Fargo or a "green" company like Corix.

It would be great if one team got a sponsorship from another team in a different league. Like the T-Wolves got sponsored by the NY Yankees.

That would suck if we got Seahawk badges on Blazer uniforms.

[3RA1N1AC]

im gonna assume it is going to be something PA related, or not at all, because PA is too rich to care

[RoyToy]

Paul Allen's football team

 

[Ed O]

I think that the Blazers should buy patches on the Timberwolves' jerseys.

[44Thrilla]

I'm sure they'll use the extra money to lower ticket prices.

Here's the Ad

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I hear that all the Knicks are going to have individualized ads...

...Felton's is for Dunkin Donuts.

 

[DUB]

I follow many sports so I'm used to this.

I honestly don't even notice it.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So.

Tacky.

 

[THE HCP]

I'm hearing it's only a 2X2 inch patch on the shoulder...... nothing like the WNBA or MLS.

But will it clash with the team colors?
