    They're going to put advertising on the Jerseys in the NBA this year.

    Just like Europe.









    Classy!!!

    Corporate adverts on NBA uniforms = socialism. Keep reaching.

    Better yet, find that entrepreneurial spirit and buy a bunch of "old" jerseys, and then sell them at an insane mark up.

    NFL is next

    Only sports I don't see going down this path is MLB and NHL

    NHL players move too fast and MLB has too much tradiiton to let something like that slide

    Terrible idea, but maybe it will make the ticket prices cheaper. Doubt it, but that would be nice.

    Spurs should be the obligatory team to be sponsored by Viagara.

    Miami Melons
    Sacramento Seagrams
    Mr. Boston's Celtics
    Chicago Fried Chickens
    Houston Wasabi's
    Atlanta Black N Milds

    the possibilities are endless

    Wouldn't want that shit on it if I ever bought a jersey.

    Maybe keep it to one patch, not full on advertisements.

    Won't happen for a few years anyways.

    Can you imagine the racist jokes when KFC or Popeys/Churchs or whatever slaps an advertisement on the back of some Giant smiling black guys jersey.

    With the advancement on HDTV's and game broadcasting. The at-home experience is becoming better then being at the game. This would probably help the teams make up the money from lost ticket sales.

    NFL is already in the process of providing Wifi at the stadiums and having in-game player audio to help and try to fill the seats.

    They have to do something, because people would rather stay home and watch the game on their big screen HDTV's.

    Nobody wants to buy a jersey that is different to the one the players are wearing.

    Ever seen a person wearing a Man United jersey without the sponsor?

    if they don't cut out some media TO it's just saying we want more money

    it makes sense in europe becaue the game doesn't stop, no TV ads whatsoever..

    It's not that bad really. Every soccer team jersey outside the US has a sponsor on it....it will seem normal to everyone after a year

    It's different here in the U.S. Just by reading comments in this thread, I can tell.
