Logos on NBA Unis.......

Japanese company. They sponsor a Japanese baseball team (Rakuten Golden Eagles)

 

What is their product though?

 

its like ghetto amazon for cheap-asses.

 

That's funny cause I thought Amazon was ghetto retail for cheap lazy asses.

 

Amazon is like target now.
Rakuten is like Big Lots.

 

Apt description, thanks, never heard of Rakuten and even after this will almost certainly never use it now.

 

Moda Center paid for naming rights. They are regional

 

True. But the arena name is more of a local branding opportunity than the jersey logo is in my opinion. I think I mentioned it in a previous post, but there are several examples of other local companies sponsoring arenas and stadiums. Moda was also a unique situation. They had to make a bold move to get their name some awareness quickly after changing the name from ODS Health. It worked.

 

Knowledge!

 

Smoothie. King.

 

You know Paul Allen would probably like this logo.

 

...not just logos, Nike is now adding a "jock tag" to souvenir jerseys that you can scan with your smartphone to watch recent highlights of that player and other offers! Sounds like NikeConnect is going to be quite the gimmick, but will it actually work? And gain popularity?

 

Now you have heard of them. Mission accomplished. That 20m is nothing.

 

@HCP

 

It's too bad Swish3 isn't a company. That would look good on Portland's jerseys.

 

How much does Moda pay per year for making rights, $5M? I feel like a 5% tax on each ticket would make up for that.

Would y'all pay that to get the name changed back?

 

I dont get ads. When i feel something is over advertised i refuse to buy it out of principal.

 

If we get Carmelo, that should help get us a jersey logo sponsor because we'd get more national/global media coverage.

 

Any news on the logo patch for the Blazers?

 

I do it too, but out of secondary
