TheRicSlick Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Sellouts! The moment they put ads on jerseys, that's when I stop buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 The bad thing about this is that people are going to buy the jerseys and there will be ads on them. This is not soccer! Glad the NFL and MLB know what the hell they're doing with their identities. A swoosh/jumpman, three stripes/flower...are already ads. If there was a St. Jude kid logo one each jersey sold and a percentage would directly got to them would you still object?LOL at giving a non-profit ad space. That's not going to happen. Even the scammiest non-profit doesn't have enough cash to pull that off.It's happened several times in the EPL and European soccer leagues, most notably Aston Villa, who wore the logo of a local charity for 2 seasons.British businessmen aren't U.S. businessmen.

BBTV Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Like I said, I think the intersting thing was how he said it ties in to the new TV deal.I'm not sure if that means that they can simply charge the sponsors more because their ads will be visible on more networks / more viewers, or if the networks themselves can sell the ad space as if it was a commercial. Now that would be interesting. Imagine if each team's RSN could manage the sponsorships? Or if the RSN sold the ads for their games, and then ABC or ESPN or whoever sold the ads for their games?Could the teams themselves lose some control over what their uniform looks like (at least when it comes to ads?) Could ABC send the equip manager 15 McDonald's patches and have them applied for the Sunday game, and then Comcast sends them 15 "Local Restaurant" patches to apply for Tuesday's game? I think you could argue that would be one way that they could sell this thing, and really, that could be the most lucrative.

Soarindude Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 To respond to one of the posts on page 1,I would much rather have jerseys/uniforms have a sponsor on their logo and have a lot less commericials during the game (soccer), than have no advertisements on jerseys and have a commericial every other play (football, baseball). Unfortunately, the NBA would not decrease commericals. All in all, it's a lose lose for fans.Just making the claim that I am okay with soccer putting ads on the kits because of that reason. Not only that, soccer kits would look rather plain without advertisements. International kits are the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyk33 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Keep in mind that as a club*, FC Barcelona is $400 million in debt.*-They are legally not for profit.I was just trying to point out how much advertisers like putting their logos on jerseys. I'm thankful that I stopped buying jerseys a few years back due to increased player movement between teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzcut Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Once the NBA goes into selling ads, the other three will follow within 5 years. Unless some small, but very vocal minority special interest group imposes a brutally totalitarian iron fist over the globe, first. The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. Sounds like something from a Rocky & Bullwinkle story arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 If colleges were considering doing this, I'd be for the student bodies at the schools that get a subsidy (i.e. just about all of them) from the school/students to get a vote on that decision. Or if they're going to make that decision, get to vote to withdraw the subsidy.Because I'm forced to shell out $140 a semester right now to the AD and I'll be damned if they decide to turn the players into billboards for Waste Management. They represent my school, not our "valued corporate partners" and the uniforms should reflect that.Either way, if ads show up on college jerseys, the players had better get a sizable cut of that money.

RONA logo, right chest.Neither one terribly compromises the jersey.To each their own, but I absolutely fail to see how this is "tasteful." It's "not as bad as NASCAR or soccer", but that does not make it tasteful.In my opinion, any advertisement (including manufacturer logo) is by default "not tasteful." Some are not as bad as others, but they all detract, at least a bit. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Shadojoker Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Will the owners or Silver now have to wear ads on their suits & ties then?? Will the dress code now change to include ads on casual wear too? Pretty soon WWE will have ads on their wrestlers then!!
