NBA may allow corporate logos on uniforms for 2017-2018 season

NBA, owners to talk detailed ads-on-jerseys plan

Sources said the NBA's planning committee is seeking comments from teams in advance of the April Board of Governors meeting. The committee will continue to meet with team feedback, which will determine if the proposal makes the April meeting agenda.

Under the league proposal, which must be approved by the Board of Governors in April to come to fruition, teams will be able to sell one corporate logo on their uniforms for the 2017-18 season. That would give teams a year to sell, and it would line up with the league's new apparel deal with Nike.

In order to address the disparity in market size and the value larger cities would have compared to smaller cities, the league is proposing that 50 percent of the money from uniform ad deals would be kept by teams, while the other 50 percent would go into a revenue-sharing pot.

As with the Kia logo on this weekend's uniforms, the new proposal features the future logo that teams can sell on the upper left chest. The proposed size of the logo is 2 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches.

Buy your jerseys before it happens brehs.

My misguided friend, the NBA is just taking cues from the most popular sport in the world.

The NFL will do it 5 years later with advertisement for drugs that will help with memory loss

I understand why European football does ads because they ain't got 50 commercials in between plays. American sports are greedy as fukk. They will make more money off the ads than future jersey sales.

The writing was on the wall when they moved the NBA logos to the back of the jersey

Then last year they started teasing the ads on all star weekend jerseys for skills challenge and 3 point shootout.

They'll start out small and gradually get bigger until they completely take over the jersey just like soccer

Sucks but I've accepted it.

What happens when they force players to wear ads that their endorsers are rivals against?

Ex. Clippers official insurance brand being Geico, but Cp3 being under the State Farm umbrella?
