NBA considering placing advertising on jerseys

[IGSaint12]

This would make more sense in the NFL then the nba, and I still wouldn't support it. Do Euro basketball players even have ads on their uniforms when they make 10x less than nba players?

He following soccer methods. Smart move.

Soccer games don't have commercial breaks.

I wouldn't be caught dead walking around with a jersey that has corporate logos on it.

lol @ a 2x2 inch patch stopping someone from watching the NBA

A post it is 3"x3". What company would pay for advertising to get something smaller than a post it ?

soccer games dont have any stoppage in play..

The game died the first time they stopped play just to go to a commercial break.

That was my point in the above post. The NBA gets plenty of ad revenue from commercials. It's bad enough they actually stop the game for that BS. This is just greed. If you wanna put the ads on the jerseys then cut the commercials.

photoshops are genius.

If they don't go overboard with the ads, I don't have a problem with it.

[Reality Check]

look at soccer jerseys from around the world, shyt isn't really a big deal

Exactly. It's very common in Europe for ads on professional sports jerseys (not just soccer but Euro basketball have ads on their jerseys). Surprised it took this long for it to be seriously discussed here.
