The NBA is now the NBEA. National Basketball Entertainment Association.

Only acceptable if they eliminate timeouts and commercials

lol...

So if you buy a replica of a NASCAR car, do you get paid for advertising the sponsor?

[snickles]

this. the handful of players i still enjoy watching will probably be retired by that point anyways.

[Budkin]

Horrible decision. But that means free league pass right? Yeah right.

yes you are

[Bill_Brasky]

yes you are

Not really. A good jersey costs $150 bucks right. Well fuck paying that much money to walk around with a giant advertisement on.

Who cares

[Rogue]

Ads on jerseys is the norm in most soccer leagues, nothing wrong with it imho.

Spurs announced that they are bringing George Hill back. Here he is modeling the new HEB Spurs jersey. He is asking for Green's number.

Inevitable. And not really a big deal imo. As a few have stated or suggested, it happens in Nascar and international soccer leagues already. It will likely cross over to the NFL and MLB as well at some point.

It was only a matter of time.

And it will only be a matter of time before fans get used to it. The next generation of kids who will watch and play basketball will all be used to it and it will just be the norm. And those of you who don't like it and will never like it will end up being the grumpy old man talking about how things were "back in my day."

[~O~]

Buy your adless jerseys while you can.

"The sponsor patch will be adjusted to fit the dimensions of each sponsor's logo. It won't appear in retail versions of the jerseys, but clubs can sell jerseys with sponsor patches in their team stores."

shitty idea tbh ..

[K...]

I wonder if this is a player union battle idea? The union is likely to ask the owners to expand the pie of things considered to be revenue. This would be such a thing. Maybe they want to blame players for being greedy?


Or they're just greedy.

The Philadelphia 76ers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/phi/philadelphia-76ers) have become the first team in the four major U.S. sports to sell an ad on a jersey.


The 76ers announced Monday morning that ticket company StubHub will have its logo on the team's jerseys beginning in the 2017-18 season, when the NBA's three-year pilot program will start.


Sources with knowledge of the deal say the team has sold all three seasons at $5 million a year, with the option to extend the contract with StubHub should the league continue to allow the 2½-by-2½-inch logo patch to be on the jerseys in the future.

...........

NBA teams will keep half of the money generated by selling sponsorships on jerseys, and that half will be further split in two, with one portion going to the individual team that does the deal and the other going to a revenue-sharing pool. The half that does not go to the teams will be split with the players and will contribute to a rising salary cap.
