C-Squared Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Didn't it start in European soccer leagues? I read an article years ago that said $230 million+ is on the table for NFL teams to cave and stick ads on unis... just a matter of time IMO My TeePublic Shop My Instagram Art Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Probably started in European lower leagues. I think Liverpool is the first big name team to put ad space on their uniforms. I also remember the Silver Bullets women's baseball team wearing sleeve adds in the late 1980's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1insaneguy Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 If the NFL ever does ads I'm going to guess Dan Snyder will be the first to crack. He'll never change the name... until FedEx offers a multi-million dollar deal to call the team the Washington Return Labels (which is what seems to be on most passes the DC's Quarterbacks make).
