>NBA Jerseys will begin carrying advertisements in 2017 season
IT BEGINS
That's a shame. Hope it won't ruin the clean designs of the Blazers and Warriors unis too much.
So which sport will be next: football or hockey?

hockey, baseball then football. all by 2022. i think everyone was just waiting for the others to do it 1st so they didn't look like sell outs
This is what happens when Jews run your sport.
>>66844148
>baseball
Nah. As conservative and tradition driven as that sport is, I don't see it happening.
Who will win the finals? The Golden State Oracles or the Cleveland Quicken Loans? I hope the OKC Chesapeake Energies win but they don't seem good enough this year.

>>66844148
>baseball then football
The NBA and NHL are small time compared to the NFL and MLB. More tradition, more fans, more revenue = no need for advertisements on their uniforms.
>>66844232
doesn't matter. silver said its only 100 mill more so its not a big deal but jews will take every extra penny they can get
Will the jersey they'll be selling have ads in them too?
>owners of companies shouldn't be allowed to maximize their profits
Fuck off Bernie voters, if you sheeple wouldn't buy the jerseys, they wouldn't do it. They are doing it because it's the right business move. Free market and shit. Capitalism birches.
/pol/ was right.
>>66844332
I think so unless the team management wants to put them on there.
>>66844347
the jerseys sold in nike/footlocker and that stuff won't have ads only the ones sold in the teams arenas
mfw porn companies buy ads by 2020.

Already happened in baseball. Do some research.
>>66844332
fans prefer to have a jersey that is identical to the ones actual players use.
really, I guarantee you if your team wins the chip with a "7-up" ad on it you'll love to have one, as ugly as it is.

NFL is so fucking jewed out, they literally give zero fucks about oversaturating their sport with ads. I'm actually shocked they didnt do it first, but theyll definitely be next.
Hockey will come much later. Baseball will be last.

hockey is literally coming next. they were just waiting for nba to be the 1st

I agree, but they arent going to get rid of any commercials.
This isnt even really about an ad patch on a jersey; i can learn to live with that. It's that corporatist ad culture is so fucking pervasive and it's insulting that these jew owners just continue to pile on and shove it down our throats.
You can hardly do anything or go anywhere in america without being told that whatever youre doing, watching, looking at was brought to you by some multi billion dollar company. Its fucking sickening.

People will be all over this shit. Everyone loves tacky and gaudy shit nowadays, especially the blacks. I guarantee the KFC LeBron Cavs jersey sell out in an hour.
>>66844401
Where? The only logo you ever see is the Majestic one which is barely visible
I wouldn't be too pissed off if the ads had to be related to the team. Like Red Bull sponsoring the Bulls, or Land-O-Lakes sponsoring the Lakers.
A commercial break every 2 minutes in a football game is fine but put Vagisil on a jersey and everyone shits the bed
>>66844030
and they wont cut down the number of commercials either

>>66845432
well obviously lol. it's inevitable though they'll agree to it. there's no business reason not to
>>66845432
Well what's the logical conclusion to this? Fucking idiot.
This literally cements football as the GOAT sport. You niggerball handegg cucks literally have no excuses to hate on the world sport anymore. The whole reason why ads were on kits is because there are no ads interrupting the game. Now you fags have BOTH ads every 3 minutes and the eye sore on jerseys. Lol enjoy.
>>66844910
I don't think it'll work like that. I mean, the people who will care about this will likely just keep wearing their old ad-less jerseys (as they should). Teams would be pretty dumb to stop selling jerseys without ads. Eventually it'll transition to a generation where people don't know better than jerseys with ads, as is the case with football/soccer.
Can anyone else see something like new jerseys every season happen, like in football/soccer? I mean one tradition already being broken with ads, as long as the jerseys aren't too radical I can see it happening. Probably plenty of people who will buy them every season.

I watch them all to some degree.
>>66845996
Nah I don't think so. Champions League and Premier League have a one-sponsor only rule, as to not completely ruin the aesthetic value of the kit, aside from all the complications from team sponsors and league sponsors.

>>66845871
>literally have no excuses to hate on the world sport anymore
It's still boring as fuck. That's all the reason I ever needed to switch to basketball.
Between this and making open threats towards North Carolina, is Adam Silver currently the worst commissioner is sports?
Or are Roger "the law" Goddell and Gary "lockout" Bettman still worse?
>>66844030
This is actually pretty well photoshopped
>>66846103
It would take a lot. I can see companies sueing if the NBA allows for ads that aren't league sponsors already. KIA getting pissed if, say, the NBA allows the Toyota to sponsor the Warriors.
>>66846168
Yeah, but there are plenty of industries out there to fill up a jersey. Either way, I like to think they'll go the soccer route and keep it somewhat simple
>>66846136
Based Germany
>>66846158
The NBA is definitely the most "SJW" of all the leagues.
- speaking out against a perfectly reasonable law in NC
- propping up the shitty WNBA
- that #leanin bullshit
- forcing Sterling to sell (although I kinda get that)
Why can't they just stick to fucking basketball?
>>66846261
It will be simple and clean. Just look at WNBA jerseys as an example. They won't go full NASCAR and plaster over 9000 sponsor logos over the jersey. Just 1 main sponsor instead of the team or city name.
>>66844769
Not the guy you are responding to, but as long as they stay tiny like that I am not going to go apeshit over it
>>66846332
SIMPLE AND CLEAN IS THE WAY THAT YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL TONIGHT
>>66846332
>Just look at WNBA jerseys as an example
Those are awful. The ads are bigger than the team name
>>66844811
>Does it mean less commercials?
How would you react if more sports teams had their primary owner as part of the team name? For example: The Kraft Patriots, Nintendo Mariners and etc.
>>66845236
>he thinks it's going to stop at a "little" patch
>>66846459
IT'S HARD TO LET GO!
>>66844816
naw bro, it's like this:
ads on sweaters* + commercials
*sweaters in hockey, not jerseys. you should know better, milkbag. both words refer specifically to the construction of the item, just so you know, and they don't mean the same thing.
saying "jersey" in reference to a hockey sweater it's like calling a boot a "shoe".
>>66845088
I NEED a Damiva-branded Yankees cap.
>>66845236
>>thinking this little patch is going to stop anybody from watching
some might stop out of protest, but I'd guess that more potential new fans just won't adopt a sport that is hard on the eyes. Why put up with visual clutter.
it just looks ugly, and people don't like ugly -- and it won't be one little patch, look at the hockey photos earlier in this thread, that's where this shit is going.

>completely harmless to the fans
>not un-american in any way whatsoever, pic related
>>66844071
Fuck those trash unis. It's the ones with history and tradition like the celtics, lakers, Knicks and bulls that worry me. It's like allowing names on Yankee pin stripes - it's just not acceptable
>>66844581
The NFL is extremely greedy, but they also care a lot about their image. I think they'll just make commercial breaks longer before they put ads on jerseys.
This how sports will die with no fans and wasted resources
I hope Stern and Silver are happy to see everything fail while living in this earth.

Bettman has to be the worst, no question.
>>66847510
Bettman and Goodell are both the worst commissioners in the highest regard
Silver getting up there and Manfred is joining the fray too.
It pains why, why do we have the worst commissioners instead of having someone who sane enough to give a shit.

>>66844148
Baseball will possibly never do it but they'll add more green screens like the green screen flags they've put up near the foul pole lately
Baseball has too much tradition and banks on it for ads on jerseys
NFL is similar in how they bank on tradition from the color point of view , they'll change a scheme once and a while but essentially they're traditional
>Your team
>Who you want to sponsor them and why
their are only two teams that have rejected having ads on their jerseys. apparently one of them is the rockets
>>66844030
Literally why? What new change has necessitated this?
>>66853527
>necessitated
>>66853560
Alright fine if the NBA is just making a choice for greedy reasons then why didn't they make the choice years ago? Or choose to implement this policy 10 years from now?
Why suddenly now are ads ok?

Good question.
Businessmen risk trying new things when growth comes to a relative halt or slows down too much. I don't think they can suck much more off Chinese market after Yao Ming retired.
what even is the point
what do companies hope to accomplish by placing their logo on jerseys
it literally will not bring in any revenue
especially since their logo is already on the team court
>>66854249
Just Silver jewing it out
>>66854249
Increases brand recognition. As long as they are on a famous team's jersey, people will see it, recognize it, and be brought up later when people ask who/what that company/logo is. Then, when you go shopping in the industry that sponsor works in, you have something as a baseline. It helps companies remain relevant and, if we extend it to college athletics, brings in non-athlete students.

It's like product placement in a movie.
Advertising is literally mind control. That's why ads are naturally at a higher volume than normal tv programs.
You might not notice. .. but your brain does.
Not surprising that NBA was the first. It's already becoming a tacky joke and the new generation of social media swagfags wont care enough to make a big deal out of it. If they do it in the NHL I'll literally stop watching.

>Putting ads one your jerseys when you show commercials during the games already
It should be by player instead of team, and the amount of annual revenue the player gets from them determines the size of the company logo
So you have Lebron with a nike logo twice the size of his number vs *insert any white player* with a spotless jersey
>>66845083
>KFC sponsors every NBA team
>bail bondsmen sponsor every NFL team
>>66844148
It makes sense for the MLB since its the only league where the teams keep pretty much all of their revenue instead of spreading it around the league. However, it's also the most traditionalist of the four leagues so it will probably be the last.
The NFL will probably next to follow suit though. The League office only cares about avoiding lawsuits and money. They'll probably assign every team a company to advertise.
