BC985 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 When it comes to sponsorships on uniforms, American leagues at the highest level are way behind the rest of the world. I wonder if the growing popularity of international soccer in the states has something to do with things changing here. Are ads on uniforms seen as the norm by a younger generation of sports fans? As someone pointed out earlier, Manchester United makes a lot of money off their sponsorship deals. The world didn’t end with the NBA putting ads on. That’s leaving the rest of the teams looking to catch-up and cash-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Stop calling it "sponsorship". It's advertising.

Also NBA, MLS and even the AHL have sponsors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see jersey and ticket price go down. Which would be big help for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it more likely they keep prices the same but with a nice bonus from the advertising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnPheitseog Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Only logo that should be on a jersey/other parts of a uniform is the team logo. Soft stop Possibly a league logo as well. Full stop. (Yes, i buy jerseys with advertising on it. And will pay extra, if needed, for the ads so the jersey matches what is worn on field. My need for an exact visual replica does not change my point or my views) EDIT: This also applies for the playing surface, and preferably the stadium as well. But the stadium is flexible. EDIT EDIT: Also, even more applies for advertising in event names (WS presented by fox, ie) Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting used to it doesn’t make it appealing. I’m used to ads on soccer jerseys, and the economics of it are very simple, but I definitely don’t like them. 1 hour ago, Flames1fan said: Have you thought of it in this way, say if NHL has sponsor on a jersey.

Conversely, when a company sponsors admission for MoMA on one night a week, everyone gets in for free, and I still don’t have to see a corporate logo on the side of MoMA. I support that, even though it’s crowded as F.

Replica jerseys in the NBA dont have the ad logo on them, except for maybe the ones sold at the venue team shops themselves, so the ad revenue doesnt carry over like you assume it would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Nike has been making MLB retail/fashion jerseys for years, but these are pretty interesting (see: What Nike *could* do if the company had full autonomy). https://www.nike.com/t/dri-fit-astros-mens-baseball-jersey-3Cthwq/00036969X-OR1 https://www.nike.com/t/yankees-mens-hooded-baseball-jersey-kCGVTc/00037129X-GS1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
