NBA likely going to Advertisements on Jerseys Next Season

[MeLO MvP 15]

well if you wanna use a beer company for the lakers... why not this

It was a reference to the video of LA fans giving Nash a keystone.

And I'd imagine the owners would be careful with who sponsors who....

I mean, we're gonna see Viagra sponsor the Celtics.

By "every team" i'm sure they mean "every team owner" is in favor of it. I'm guessing the players had no say.

FVCK NO! It would make photoshopping a lot harder

[bmulls]

Maaaaaaaaaan fck this.

Is nothing sacred to these people any more? Can you picture the classic images of MJ, Magic and Bird with fcking McDonalds logos on their jerseys?

Pure greed I hate it.

The ring and back board will be made to look like someones open mouth and face, the ball will be a piece of KFC popcorn chicken. Portland's sponser will be band aids\health insurance\retirement plan company. L.A' will be a rape lawyer, Bucks can have a moped comany.

Repped for life.

That's cuz you aren't a cool dude like Steve Nash

[WeGetRing2012]

I can't see this happing most/if not all of the superstar players are walking brands. And they aren't gonna let the NBA have them advertise crap without getting a nice cut of the advertising dollars.

[stallionaire]

I ****ing hate this news. Gonna cheapen the look of NBA players and make them look like salesmen.

For those who didn't get the Steve Nash Keystone joke...

i know what's gonna happen now. seeing how small a 2x2 ad is on a jersey, the only time you'll see it is during freethrows. now the league has an excuse to make way more crappy calls to get players to the line. stern is at it again i tell u!!! such an clever evil man he is.

My first response to advertising on jerseys was negative. I would support it if owners would use some of the revenue to lower ticket prices

Haha that's not happenin. I think it's an overreaction if the ads are 2 inches by 2 inches as they are proposing.
