Sponsorhip Patches - Who would you like to see on Jazz's jersey?!?!

I saw this coming from a mile (or two) away. It's just a video game, but there's an audio snippet in NBA 2K12 talking about how the NBA is (was) considering doing this since it's already happening in the WNBA and the NBDL. I don't like it one bit. Best Buy is my best guess for what could be thrown on there.
 
The Beast is hungry and needs more. This would make future lockouts (which WILL happen) even more laughable.

This is something that I was thinking about. I would think that the money from jersey ads would probably fall under the new revenue-sharing plan. https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com...Leagues-and-Governing-Bodies/NBA-revenue.aspx

To be honest, in the chaos of the season with all the games packed together, I don't remember ever hearing about the new revenue-sharing plan until I found this link now.
 
Just watched the conference concerning this and Adam Silver says that early projections claim this would make teams, on average, $100 million per season. They also said that this won't be happening until the season after next.
 
1) Larry Miller's Obituary.
2) That chick from the Progressive commercials, Flo. Her big mug on a 2x2 patch would be AWESOME!
3) Dave Ballou for City Counsel.
 
Also, it would have been great to have "Charmin" on our jerseys during the Boozer, Okur, and AK era.

I like the idea of "But it generates more revenue for the teams and the players to make. Therefore, who gives a ****?" How about the people that bankroll your pointless (but fun and addicting) game?

It was only a matter of time before it happened. The world's most popular sport has been doing it for years now and that hasn't seemed to lower popularity of the game. Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't implemented it yet, I'm sure 90% of the owners are scratching at the bit for it.

I would think there would be some kind of pool since teams will be advertising in other team's arenas, just not their own.

You mean the sponsors, netwroks and the corporations that buy the luxury boxes?
 
Wonder what happens if sponsorships conflict with religious/moral beliefs.

Could you see Jimmer wearing a jersey advertising Trojans?
