Cause saints fans cry about everything

Yep.
I'm not crazy about the corporate takeover of stadiums either. Maybe I'm old school but not everything has to be for sale or whored out.
Greed turns what makes something good and unique into the same old shite, undifferentiated, polluted, and ineffective. I point to people that get themselves tatted with sleeves a chest or back full of tats. I appreciate them for their artistic value, but all of those people pretty much look cookie cutter when they were trying to be individualistic.
The corporate monster knows nothing but growing and growing and if you aren't experiencing growth the corporation is getting closer and closer to death. When a company has a downturn in business or there's disruptive innovation in their industry that takes them down from their perch, advertising and sports sponsorship will be cut.
Kodak would've sponsored the Bills, now with Kodak being on life support for 15 years they wouldn't have kept the annual expense of putting their logo on the Bill's jersey and the identity and bonds created with fans over the years of AFC winning teams would be forgotten and wasted, down the drain for nothing.
If there ever are big corporate logos on jerseys, I don't see why the team owners wouldn't promote their own legitimate businesses that they created their wealth in to be able to purchase the team in the first place.

They make the jersey so they get a tiny slot. Even that is lame.

That doesn't make you old fashioned, that makes you commie scum. Go back to Russia, Dolph.

If Fedex wants to give the Grizzlies a shite ton of money to put their logo on the jersey I really don't care. More revenue for the league is a good thing.
One of the issues they may run into is that if it done poorly to a point where it effects jersey sales I could see some of the players getting pissed.

I don't want to be a walking billboard for random other corporations when I buy team branded apparel.
I will not buy team gear that has that shite on it. I already avoid Nike, Adidas, and other apparel makers stuff when they make their logos too large or prominently placed.

You are so edgy...
Posted on 6/19/14 at 10:15 pm to RTR America
It's not about being edgy.
Its about not being forced to advertize for companies if you want to support your team with branded products.
If Polo started putting little Home Depot logos on their shirts I'd stop buying them too.

I love it but I love soccer and euroleague basketball
Posted on 6/19/14 at 10:22 pm to Dr RC
honestly i'm surprised it took this long

A few too many ads on this but I think it looks ok.
And honestly, it will make the jerseys "cooler" to wear IMO. Hype beasts love big branded garments
An nba jersey with a scheme like that would be pretty fricking sweet IMO. And with the sleeves on the newer jerseys, it will practically be a soccer jersey

remember when Fed Ex wanted to pay to rename the Grizz the Express when they moved? I'm a little surprised the league said no to that.
