Marlins93 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It's going to be super weird seeing a Yankees home jersey with the swoosh plastered across the front. How many years away are we from seeing advertising space sold as sleeve patches? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised the NHL isn't doing it yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish my team did. I meant it more in the sense that the Yankees shouldn’t get special treatment. If the rest of the league gets the swoosh, then the Yankees have to have it too. They’re not special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the nike logo, Myself I think MLB logo will be on all jersey even the Yankees North American teams where in it for the money, they do what soccer teams do. Make a new jerseys every year. Plus Sonpors or Clothings brands pay big money to be apart of the teams. See big money in Soccer jerseys. They make the most out offany sports. quoted from google "In 2014, Man U. signed a £75 million-per-year with Adidas. That same year, Man U. also signed a seven-year, $559 million contract with Chevrolet, paying the team$80 million-per-year to have their logo on the jersey.

If the Yankees can indeed fight logo creep, they ought to. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 We don’t know. They successfully fought it before, but I don’t think there’s any reason to believe they are fighting it now. Steinbrenner’s kids have already shown they don’t have the resolve of their father, or his care for the club’s legacy. I’m just saying I won’t fault Yankee fans for wanting them to fight it. Quite the contrary, actually. I wish other fanbases cared as much, my own included. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC985 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I don’t think there’s a team in any of the major professional sports that would take the financial hit necessary to keep a manufacturer’s logo off their uniform. Any hopes of the Yankees being that holdout team died when they wore BP caps in a game. It is going to happen, it is going to look terrible, and we will have to get used to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it’s coming. But again, I only wish that other fans cared as much as some Yankee fans do. I certainly won’t criticize them for wanting their club to hold out again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because soccer is the biggest sport in the world. They can command the highest price. But your next quote highlights the problem with that kind of sponsorship - when one team can get x amount of money, and the next gets 10x, that creates an unhealthy imbalance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well companies pay the big money to be on the jersey. They know how well the team is know and followed around the world. Some Team soccer jersey you can tell who they are cause of the sponsor they have 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 When the First Division reorganized itself into the Premier League, they considered breaking from the Football Leage and FA entirely. And they thought that might preclude them from using the word “league” in their name. So they considered “Premiership” as their official name, and even when they learned it wasn’t necessary the name still stuck as an informal nickname. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
