Ugh this is such crap. Jerseys are going to look horrible. And they expect fans to want jerseys with these advertisements on them as well. Ugh.
The NBA Board of Governors approved the inclusion of advertisements on game uniforms for the 13-14 season.
Small advertising could generate $100 million in new revenue.
"The view is, that the teams would need a significant time; one, to sell the patch; and number two, for Adidas to manufacture the uniforms, because the patch that would be on the players' uniforms would also appear on the jerseys at retail," said Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver.
Professional soccer teams have long had advertisements on uniforms and the NBA is using their numbers as projections for revenues.
