rentz Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The beginning of the end. I think I'm going to cry now.Well it's not that big of a deal, though ads on game unis are probably on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The CFL has had advertisements on jerseys for years, and the on field product hasn't suffered.End of the world indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I don't mind if ads make their way to game uniforms, as long as the NFL handeled it the way the CFL did. Little ads that don't obscure the design of the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentz Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Well here's a thought. Instead of patches, how about some actual integration into the design? Because of the Heinz affiliation, every Steeler should wear number 57. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajmccall Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Its bound to happen, it didn't ruin soccer and I doubt it will be as prevalent. I'd rather it didn't, as I think they make enough money.But any rich person ever just laughed at that last statement. Hard.

Because of the Heinz affiliation, every Steeler should wear number 57. Don't tempt them. Every bottle of Rolling Rock beer already has the number "33" branded into it... *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...
DGivens87 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Not to stray too far off-topic, but I find it interesting that the Bob Kraft-owned Patriots can find a branding sponsor for their practice threads, while Kraft's soccer club, the Revolution, are one of the few teams in MLS that remain without a kit sponsor.

RyanB06 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Interesting that there are two different patches - one for the light jerseys and one for the dark.

Cujo Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 At least they're limiting the ads to only the practice jerseys, unlike those tacky captain's patches the NFL introduced a couple years ago. Those need to go, stat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsox Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 The patches would look better if they were they same color as the jerseys IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 whats the point of having Gillette as a sponsor for their jerseys when its already the name of the stadium?? do they really pay THAT much?

With that said...I guess this makes sense. Even though IT'S THE BEGINNING OF THE END! THE SANCTITY OF THE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL JERSEY HAS BEEN BESMIRCHED! ROGER GOODELL AND HIS MERRY MEN!

BigDmo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'd love to see a team sponsored by Enzyte or Viagra, it would give me a good laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waleslax Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'd love to see a team sponsored by Enzyte or Viagra, it would give me a good laughBecause having some soccer team sponsored by "Bimbo" isn't bad enough?

drj983 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ugh . . . this is worse than expected. The sky isn't falling just yet, but there are cracks in the ceiling. As I've gotten out of my teens and into my twenties, I haven't purchased sports jerseys nearly as much as I used to, but you can mark this: I will NEVER buy a piece of team merchandise with a sponsor on it. (and no, Nike/Reebok/Adidas don't count - they are manufacturers, not sponsors). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, they PAYa)team Xb)university Y c)league Z (Ever notice that "Reebok" is on the dasher boards for over the red and blue lines?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
