NBA Adds Advertisement to Jerseys

Will this effect the way we look at basketball or will we simply over look the Jersey’s. Smart marketing or trying too hard?

Stern met with the media after the Board of Governors held their annual summer meeting, and said the league is looking to add possibly $100 million in revenue by permitting small advertising patches on uniforms starting in the 2013-14 season.

“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, who is handling the uniform change.
