I can't imagine why. The armed services have spent, likely, billions on marketing campaigns over generations, a necessity of needing to market themselves to potential recruits. NASA doesn't have that same problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampyrRabbit Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 44 minutes ago, namefornamesake said: Just saw that the Astros officially announced a jersey ad for OXY, which is some petroleum corporation. Obviously the only acceptable ad in this scenario would be NASA, but I guess it could be worse. It at least looks kinda space-agey. Taxpayer dollars aren't going to be spent on advertisments on the sleeves of Baseball jerseys, just the building and renovations of the Ballpark the teams play in. And for the Rangers and Astros, I'm sure an ad for a company dealing in propane and propane accessories would be just fine. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly on some level it still does, cause Air Force still sponsors the 43 and even the Space Force got a race in with the 42. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adsarebad Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Astros should have a trash (can) collecting company as jersey ad. "This patch announcement also all but assures that the team will not wear a 2022 World Champions patch on their uniforms this season" Exactly, this whole jersey ad thing also interferes with jersey patches and ruins just about everything. On the Gold program jersey as well?? On that jersey there is always a patch saying "World Series champions, year, and team logo" ..........on the other sleeve is a gold star and roman numerals indicating how many times the team have won the WS......... so one of these things will be gone as well? Just ridiculous! 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I would hope not. Of course not, they're too busy injecting beagle pups with cocaine, watching roided up hamsters fight, and studying parrot love.

retro Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 If I was to hazard a guess, the Blue Jays red alternates are on the chopping block. There’s currently none in stock inside the official store at the Rogers Centre. Most of the major retailers around the city aren’t stocking it or have very little inventory left. Could the new City Connect jersey be replacing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
