The Golden State Warriors signed the largest of the NBA advertising patch deals this week, selling the space on its jersey for the next three years to Japanese tech company Rakuten. Sources say the deal is worth $20 million per year, nearly doubling the second-highest deal, signed by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Warriors will sport Rakuten's genuine logo with red and black on their white jersey, a white version of the logo on the blue jersey, and a gold version on the slate jerseys. Rakuten, which owns cash-back site Ebates, messaging app Viber and e-book brand Kobo, has ratcheted up its sponsorship spending as of late. In July, its name started appearing on FC Barcelona's kit in a deal worth 220 million euros ($262 million) over four years.

Maybe, but it's not too tacky to pass up $20 mil a year.

I hear the Pels are working on a very lucrative 5k a year deal with Rick's Cabaret.

The Warriors and Cavs can do what they want ... but, personally, I don't want to see shite like that on a Celtics or Lakers jersey.

Have some pride, NBA.

The Celtics already have the GE logo on their jersey. Don't think the Lakers have anything yet.

Not bad. Hopefully they don't cover the jerseys with these.

As if teams don't have enough money, they have to whore out space on the jerseys.

Can the players rent body space w/commercial tattoos? Like the boxers who painted Golden Palace across their backs?
