    Honestly.... these advertisements on the uniforms are really tipping me towards the edge of not wanting to follow the NBA at all.

    It just proves that the NBA holds nothing to be sacred. Do you think the Red Sox or the Yankees would desecrate their historic uniforms with an advertisement for mattresses?

    Changing the arena names was bad enough, because those should be a reflection of the city they reside in, but putting advertisements on the jerseys is pure greed. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Maybe, but soccer teams have been doing it for a long time.

    Which is the whole reason I'd never buy a Timbers jersey.

    I don't fucking work for Alaskan Airlines...

    Looks like I have some work to do to convert you. Timbers games are awesome.

    Fitting that the Nuggets sponsor is Western Union. Might as well advertise payday loans on jerseys.

    I love the Timbers. Never been to a game but don't need converting. My son loves them. We will go. I just won't buy a jersey for me. He has one.

    (a) It's basically been done since inception, unlike NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL.
    (b) It's still tacky as fuck.

    Most ironic, most fitting, or most satirical team sponsors on jerseys might be a good thread topic for some of the idle creative minds around here.

    Soccer teams have an excuse though. They don't run even remotely the same amount of commercials, so this is one of the few ad revenue streams for them. Do you think the NBA is going to get rid of commercials on that level?

    Soccer teams need ads on their jerseys.

    Race teams need ads on their cars/motorcycles, etc.

    There are some sports that are totally justifiable in having ads on their uniforms or vehicles, but the NBA/NFL/MLB do NOT need it. They have tons of revenue from commercials.

    You would honestly not watch the NBA anymore because of a little patch on a uni? I guess you would, because you don't watch other teams games right? I would think if people were really fans of the game itself, something like this doesn't even register.

    That will be for a team from NJ or Vegas.

    This is a dumb reason not to watch the NBA these patches aren't that bad and they have to be in the team colorway. Nothing to be sacred? C'mon now, the rest of this youre just being dramatic. Every business in the world tries to maximize earning potential. It's called capitalism.
