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

      Yes, there is a very different attitude to it in the U.S. But it will take no time at all before fans don't even notice it.

      I think it is a little funny how commercialised NFL, NBA, MLB are. Every conceivable part of the event/coverage has a sponsor, constant commercial breaks. Yet the jersey's are untouchable!

                It's going to look like a Wal*Mart parking lot with all of the inbreds
                wearing NASCAR jackets.

                The NBA thugs can now get corporate logo tattoos to replace the ever clever
                basketball-going-thru-the-net tattoos. Mo moolah..


                Great to see that we are becoming a classless society....
                That's a society with no class.

                  Athletics and Mariners both wore sponsors on their jerseys in Japan. Not sure the MLB is that unlikely. The NHL isn't big enough to turn away another potential revenue source.

                      huh? when had america class ? In case you missed it 80% of the people in de developped countries think you are classless.

                      It is funny to see people in the most commericial country in the world getting on their high horse. MAybe you should count the commerical breaks during games of any pro sport in the US.

                        I thought that way until we started seeing all the ads on the outfield walls. Until then, I thought that was only reserved for minor league parks.

                                There have always been advertisements on the outfield walls in MLB. Google Ebbets Field, home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. It's a field that everyone romanticizes now and it had more advertisements than today's ballparks.

                                  when half ur teams are losing money something needs to be done.

                                  i like it for the sheer comedy it would be to see ray felton or vince carter wearing a popeyes chicken advertisement.

                                    Bud won't do it in Baseball....


                                    Bud Selig: Uniforms important
                                    Updated: July 20, 2012, 3:46 PM ET


                                    Citing the historic significance of his sport's uniforms, Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig is in no hurry to follow the NBA's lead in allowing small advertising patches to be placed on uniforms



                                    The NBA Board of Governors approved the use of the patches to help raise revenue, estimating it could produce $100 million.

                                    "You learn never to say never, but you know, with us, uniforms are really important," Selig said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "They're history.

                                    "You can close your eyes, and that Cub uniform, my goodness gracious, I can remember (that from) when I was 10 years old, and that's a long time ago. And there's the Yankee pinstripes, and the Red Sox and so on and so forth, so I've been pretty consistent on that."

                                    Selig also has been consistent on limiting the role of replay, which is being expanded to include trapped balls and balls hit down either foul line. Selig said team managers, front-office personnel and his 14-man committee made up of people such as Tony La Russa and Joe Torre voted unanimously to not expand replay further. Selig also referenced attendance records as proof that fans are happy with the state of the game.

                                    "Baseball is a game of pace," Selig said. "I'm not going to comment on other sports, but I know our sport, I know it well. ... I obviously talk to a lot of people every day. We're going to expand it to -- as I call them -- bullets hit down the right- and left-field line, and trapped balls in the outfield. I must tell you, not only that committee unanimously, but many others have said, 'Commissioner, boy that's enough now.' And I agree with them.

                                    "When I say there's no appetite for further replay, I wasn't kidding. There's none. And there are some people who think I may have done more than they hoped I would do."

                                    When told that many fans would prefer more replay, Selig said: "I'm not sure that's true. We do a lot of polling. I talk to a lot of fans. I get a lot of mail every day and I answer every piece of mail here. And guess what, guys, I get almost no letters, calls or thoughts on instant replay.

                                    "We're setting attendance records. We're having a year this year that's unbelievable. The last five years have been the greatest five years in baseball history -- setting records nobody ever thought possible. That doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to look at this.

                                    "And we'll continue to review all this. ... And instant replay doesn't always solve problems, by the way. Sometimes it creates more, there's more uncertainty. But you can't keep stopping games."

                                            I don't think anyone(maybe some) would buy WNBA jerseys.

                                                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
                                                Plus MLB has so much area they can use on the field and it's much easier to see than ads on player. ad behind home plate much more visible than ad on player.

                                                  Not many watch or care about the WNBA. Get real here.

                                                      Is this for real? What a terrible idea! Did Stern sign off on this? Does the NBA really need the extra revenue?

                                                            For the first time in league history, advertisements will appear on NBA jerseys in February.

                                                            The Association will introduce a 3.25-inch-by-1.6-inch "Kia Motors Corp." patch on the upper left chest area of players' jerseys during the 2016 All-Star Game in Toronto, The Wall Street Journal's Sara Germano reports.

                                                            The South Korean automotive company's patch will also appear on the 2017 All-Star jerseys when the annual exhibition game occurs in Charlotte, N.C.

                                                            The patch's debut at this season's All-Star game will mark the first time any of the four major American pro sports leagues allow advertising on its jerseys during competition.

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. By implementing the patch during the All-Star games - rather than during regular season games - the process of gaining approval from team owners has been circumvented, and consequently, logistical obstacles avoided.Adidas - whose exclusive uniform deal with the league expires after the 2016-17 campaign - will design and produce the All-Star jerseys.

                                                              Steve Nash is one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game and one of the best players to ever wear a Phoenix Suns uniform. With his recent retirement, it's only right that the organization will induct him into its Ring of Honor on Friday, when the Suns host the Portland Trail Blazers.

                                                              To put the icing on the cake, Suns players will wear Stance socks with Nash's face on them against Portland. Phoenix is the first team in NBA history to wear a player's image during a game.

                                                                The NBA Board of Governors announced today that teams will be allowed to sell ads on their jerseys starting with the 2017-2018 season, making basketball the first major American sport to do so.

                                                                The ads will be roughly 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches, on the front left side of the jersey. The Board of Governors approved the plan as a three-year pilot program.
