Next phase will be sports betting ads we get enough of them here in Australia about half a dozen or so every ad break and during broadcasts of the games when they cut to halftime betting odd changes as the results of the games hav progressed and changed its annoying as hell not to mention a real social problem. I see plenty of people wearing soccer jerseys tho. You can still support the team despite there being an advertisement on the jersey. Have you not noticed the ads on the courts, sidelines, scoreboards, and practically everywhere else in the arena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, never seen em´, guess they have to work harder to get the commercial content across and into every fan's face. I suggest they hire people to go around arenas, and ballparks too, and with the aid of a megaphone shout slogans directly into the fans ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEWJ Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (Pardon my laziness, but i didn't want to read through to see whether or not this has been discussed... I posted in the NBA changes thread before realizing there was a thread devoted to this topic... The post is below.) I wonder if there will be owners who prefer to use ad space for their own companies rather than selling the ad space... Would it be necessary to have rules regarding this? I'm not sure exactly how the ad revenue would be dispersed. If it's shared revenue, I could see why that may be prohibited.

hormone Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm not an nba guy, nor did I read every page of this thread, but I am disgusted and disappointed. Mainly as a fan of uniforms with aesthetics involved, but how greedy of a move this is? First, these are billionaire leagues run by multimillionaire owners and filled with millionaire players. Second, ticket prices are out if this world. I couldn't fathom taking a family of 4 to a game, grabbing parking, merchandise, and/or food. Next, they all have big tv deals as well as pay per view options. Finally, they are polluted with ads now. The jersey was the last thing left that represented the city, team, and player. There are ads on walls, floors, hockey boards, rotating over the score table, virtual ads on tv, commercial breaks, etc. So with all of this I mentioned, it still isn't enough?

They'd still have to "sell" it. I'm sure the league will be partnering with the teams to establish a "fair value" for the space. The Knicks or Lakers might have the most valuable space in the league, so even if they didn't "sell" the space, they'd likely still have to kick in more to the pool than what say the Bucks are getting for their ads.

M4One Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The NBA is not the WNBA. It does not need to be selling its soul for a few extra million dollars, which is a drop in the bucket for the league. If the extra $4-5 million (based on what the Raptors were reportedly looking for) will actually make a difference to a team's bottom line, then the league has bigger problems. And, at $4-5 million (some teams will get more; others less), it seems low to include the sponsor patch on the retail jerseys, which doesn't seem to be happening anyways.

BBTV Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I wonder if it will be one ad / sponsorship for the entire season, or if they will sell in chunks - for example, early season games that nobody cares about or watches will sell for a certain price, then the late season or playoff games for a higher price - possibly to a different sponsor.

Now this is a good point, as far as the aesthetics of the jersey is concerned. I have seen some WNBA teams where the main sponsor is where the city name or nickname goes and the teams main logo is reduced to a small patch on the upper corner of the jersey. This would be a problem I could see getting worked up over, BUT from what I have heard and read this will not be the case...right now. Again, we'll just have to wait and see what these things actually look like before we start sitting in our car with the windows down and the car running in our closed garage.

Interesting point. European soccer clubs will do this as well. They may have a sponsor for regular season games and a different one for tournaments.
