NBA logo moved to back of jerseys to make room for ads

Don't they have enough money?

Most of these owners either are or came from family where "enough money" was never a concept to be acknowledged. You don't become extremely wealthy ever thinking you have "enough money."

what is the ROI on this? as an advertiser who is likely paying for stdium banners, commercials, and other partnerships, why would i place a logo on the jersey? full court shot during a broadcast and i'm sitting at home not seeing shyt...sitting anywhere in the second tier and higher in the stadium, you aint seeing shyt. and am i really about to go switch to geico cuz they have a patch on the warriors' jerseys? gtfoh


these ads probably won't be on the jerseys that get sold to the public, just the player jerseys. they would have to strike deals with adiddas/nike to get on the fan jerserys

I don't know about the ROI, cuz I feel like advertising in general is all about exaggerating impact. I've always felt like much of the impacts in various facets of this industry are greatly overstated (especially in app mobile advertising)

However, you're wilding if you don't think they'll be visible. Every slow motion replay of Curry hitting that buzzer beater will show your logo. In all the promos they'll be visible. When they show Derrick Rose slumped over clutching his knee, he'll be helped to his feet with your logo clearly in sight. Then, as many have mentioned, there's the jersey purchasers who become walking billboards for you. You'll definitely get that visibility.

nikkas really getting their panties in a bunch over jerseys?

 

[madeyoulook]

sales of those hideous jerseys are gonna go down then

 

[TommyHilltrigga]

the NBA would make more money if it let go of the salary cap system

 

[KingJudah]

So since these jerseys being sponsored with logos they'll be giving them away right or nah

Which rich person do you know that thinks they have enough money? Millionaires want to be billionaires, billionaires want to rule the world.

Can't wait for the bang bros ad to show up on a jersey

Culioneros on the Spurs

Ads on jerseys are tacky. I understand it's necessary for sports without commercials, but NBA?

Can't wait for the Naughty Athletics ad to show up on a jersey

If allowing this eliminates tv commercial timeouts, then I'm good.

and there are plenty of shot where it wont be visible...that's why i'm like what the fukk is the point. and as i said, these are team sponsorships, i'm almost certain they wont be on fan gear unless they clear it with addidas.
