pepis21 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Actually is an ad also, because Lietuvos Rytas is a lithuanian newspaper, but this is why they put "basket" on that ad to recognize it as a team name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 But still this has got me thinking. Maybe the read the NBA requires every primary logo to have the team name in it is because when ads become the wordmarks, the logo will be the shoulder patch so fans can know what team it is. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Darren Rovell confirmed that, at least for the time being, the retail versions of the jerseys will not have the ads. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I wish the retail ones would have the option, add the sponsor patch for like 5$ like soccer does. Yes I am the type of perfectionist thay wants my jersey to look how they do on the court, so no thanks if they dont come with them. Ill wont buy one without the choice. I do skip YouTube ads, by the way. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 What's the point of buying a jersey that looks nothing like the one on the court? I get that there's fashion jerseys, that's fine, but if I'm buying a jersey then I need it to look legit. Us Uniform heads are all about accuracy. However, if the ad is just a tiny patch then I have no problem with it. It's a problem that I'm going to willingly ignore because this ad stuff shouldn't be happening.

rams80 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 7 hours ago, CRichardson said: No, they won't. Teams in smaller leagues, like in Europe, do that because they don't have the same revenue streams that US teams do. Hell, even the WNBA has only one on the front of its jerseys. They will be limited in scope. Most of the owners have advanced business degrees post-1980. They won't, because enough is never enough.

OnWis97 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Maybe someday Corn Flakes boxes will have Levis ad in the corner and Dog Chow bags will include a logo for County Kitchen. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

dfwabel Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Currently, the players get about 50.1% of BRI (Basketball Related Income). The CBA for 2017 is still in peril. Michelle Roberts will tear up Adam Silver during negotiations. This $$$ is going to the labor, so I'm cool with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 9 hours ago, eRay said: I kind of hope either A: my fellow Celtics fans pass around a virtual collection plate and pay to keep the space blank, or B: TD buys the space, and puts just the TD logo, at about an inch tall, in team colors (white "TD" on green patch on green jersey and vice versa). But even then, the NBA is benefitting from this behavior. I'll be interested to see if some teams say no, but given the prevalence of sleeved jerseys I don't think many teams push back very hard. Here's hoping for fan riots and protests which make this program at least stall for the time being. Ah yes, the Green and white Celtics jersey, that is one of the jerseys where an ad will be most noticeable and intrusive. All the classics will suffer of course.

Thomas Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I like this comment from a guy on the espn nba page : Quote Advertising on sports uniforms is a dangerous game. The fans who support the club you link up with aren't really that bothered, and very rarely base product decisions on the name on their team's kit, however those fans that truly hate that team, well those guys can't carry a grudge against the brand which adorns their rival's shirts.A good example is European soccer. Take Manchester United. Chevrolet paid a whole lot of money to affix its name to their shirts, but does it really make them more saleable to a United fan? It's doubtful. On the other hand I know plenty of fans who hate United who now wouldn't buy a Chevrolet if it came with a free house and a Dallas Cowgirl in the passenger seat. They hate the club ergo they hate the brand.Basketball wise there are few teams that truly invoke hate - but let's assume baseball picks up in this model. The prime franchise for every advertiser will be none other than the Yankees. But is that a smart move? Yankees fans will likely hate that advertiser for daring to sully their precious uniform, and a whole stack of fans from other baseball teams, notably the Mets and the Red Sox, will vow never again to buy the product that is now associated with their rival club.

ltjets21 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Do all teams have to have ads? Or do they just have the option to have ads? Because I could see teams like the Knicks, Lakers, and Celtics not using any ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I could see teams like the Knicks, Lakers, and Celtics not using any ads. The fact that 50% of the revenue is shared indicates that all teams will need to have ads. The only way it could work as an option is if the teams that opt-out agree to contribute an amount in to the pool that gets shared, probably based on their market size. So essentially the team would buy the space themselves at a "fair market" rate, and just put nothing there.
