No they don't. There aren't any logos on NBA uniforms other than the NBA logo. And people like it that way.

I believe Nike will have the swoosh on there next year, from every report I have seen.

Adidas did not spend enough to get on the jersey, but they are all over the warm up shooting shirts and tear aways.

From all the ones we've seen so far, it looks like the logos will use the jersey colors. That makes it look a lot better if they're going to do it.

Strange to see it happen first to a major market team with a lot of history.


This is the 3rd team to make an agreement. First, the StubHub got the Sixers. Then, Blue Diamond Almonds got the Kings.

I wouldn't have thought Boston would be one of the first to stick a corporate logo on the jersey (though it does blend well)

Aren't we expecting every team to have a jersey sponsor in place by next season? I read this news as the Celtics came to an agreement early and announced it.

That's a lot of words to say "you're right, PrimeTime, there aren't any logos on the uniforms".

Anyone else miss the days when warmups and shooting shirts weren't all the same design?

Incorrect. They want a Nike, adidas, or UA logo on their uniform.

People just want to act like it is blasphemy to do so.

Those are brands, not ads. People like having league and team logos on their jerseys too. All of those things are innate and directly related to the jersey's existence and purpose.

A GE logo is completely extraneous and a pure sellout.

I'm fine with this if it somehow leads to cutting down on commercials, like soccer.

But we know that won't happen, so damnit.

Guess that means it won't be long until everyone gets an ad patch.

Pels should get a Manchu patch, imo.

Everyone will complain for a month or so and then no one will even notice.

I wanna see a Saints jersey with Emirates or Etihad dominating the fleur-de-lis for maximum rustle.

I would be for the NFL jerseys looking like NASCAR cars if it meant not having a commercial between every play.

I don't mind it...as long as American sports don't become like the rest of the world and have the sponsor's name stretched out across the front of the uniform.

Maybe off topic but I always get the GE logo and HP logos confused



I blame this on schools no longer teaching cursive.

Now they will.


No they won't. Part of the deal states that the jersey's sold will not have the corporate logos.
