Ads don't really take away from the talent on the field. That's the worst part about us being into uniforms and stuff. We are basically forced to deal with nonsense because at the end of the day caring about that part is kind of foolish in the grand scheme of things. Take the NBA for example, there are advertisements everywhere and it's pretty awful but I love basketball so I still put up with it no matter how much I hate it. It's frustrating as hell. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorinator Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 MassMutual is awful but this is probably doubly awful, at least aesthetically. Looks like a comically large hole punch got to the jerseys. 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 If the ad is swapped on the sleeve depending on if it’s a left handed or right handed batter, that inconsistency will drive me absolutely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 That ad patch is huge! I thought we were gonna see something along the size of what is on NBA jerseys, but if this is the case, it's a major bummer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Advertising has been a part of baseball for over 100 years....and ads around the stadium and on stadium walls definitely are a part of baseball/Americana/etc. But John Henry and FSG should know better than this. They're the g****** Boston Red Sox. This isn't some team that might miss payroll. This ugly patch isn't worth the extra $0.04B in valuation for this conglomerate. Somehow I replied to both Manilla and selgy by accident...edited post to avoid confusion 5 1 Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

tBBP Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Look, as altruistic as I know all of us are and would hope MLB clubs would be about this whole ads on uniforms thing, the reality is this: these teams got to somehow find ways to bankroll these increasingly exorbitant player contracts some kind of way, and if the additional ad dollars make sense for the clubs, they'll make the business decision so many of us despise--because it is in fact a business, after all. (Not saying we have to like it—because we don't—but as the saying goes, "it is what it is" at this point in the game.) 5 2 *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I had an…educated worry that ads on baseball uniforms were coming very soon. I don’t know how much I can say at the moment, but to be safe: the company I work in the creative department for was approached by a major league team to be a sleeve patch sponsor. I have no idea how those discussions are going or if it’s even going to happen, as the senior leadership of our marketing department handles that (also, hence my vagueness as I don’t want to break confidence, lead on, or speak out of turn), but I do know for certain we were at least approached by one team.

logo-maker Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I high dislike ads on jerseys. Although, I just thought of something. Now on field jerseys will start to look like high end versions of the 'gimme' promotional jerseys that teams give out (those of course being screen printed with the sponsor patch on the sleeve). Ha. They've been softening everyone up for years. Bwahahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
