The WNBA has ads for the past couple of years. Soccer all over the world has had them for many years

Re: NBA jersey advertisements...the dam is broken
I guess to the team and sport, it's progress (not to mention revenue). Being that I'm older than dirt, I can recall the game used collectors of the era fuming back in the 1986-87 MLB off-season about having a manufacturer logo (Rawlings) appearing on MLB jerseys. It's not an issue 30 years later and, 30 years from now, this won't likely be an issue, either, but, FTR, I'm not fond of it, either.

Re: NBA jersey advertisements...the dam is broken
I can assure you that I won't ever purchase a game used jersey with an advertisement on it. NBA teams can be worth 2 billion dollars or more and they're just trying to squeeze every last nickel out of their product. Pure greed.
It might be time for me to stop going to the games and stop watching them on TV too. I can't stand all the political activism from the league and the players. Plus, the game itself has devolved into a three point shooting contest anyway.

Re: NBA jersey advertisements...the dam is broken
I will still watch a few games to keep up with uniform usage for my work authenticating. However, political activism in the NBA and the NFL has caused me to refuse to buy any tickets or team/league-sourced memorabilia from either league (going on 9 years for the NFL, new for the NBA) and to stay away from their charity auctions, as well. The players and coaches in both leagues have a right to speak their minds, but I have a right not to support their activism and spend what few dollars I have accordingly.

Re: NBA jersey advertisements...the dam is broken
I just wish everyone in the frickin' world didn't feel like they had to be a political activist. I get enough politics and negativity in my life.
My hobbies are something I do for enjoyment. It's to the point now where there is no escaping it.

Re: NBA jersey advertisements...the dam is broken
As much as I dislike the use of advertisements on jerseys, I have to admit that the GE logo doesn't look too bad on the Celtics uni's.

Re: NBA jersey advertisements...the dam is broken
It's already been done on MLB jerseys
When Yankees and rays met in Tokyo 2004 I believe the NYY had a Ricoh patch over one shoulder of their pinstripes
Anyone else recall this?
