Each 100M per?
That would be doubling the league's revenue and I'm very skeptical the league has been turning that down every year. This is likely the difference between Raja Bell's salary for this year for each team in the NBA. Which is a petty, paltry sum to degrade your league for.
I assume that meant $100m per year from all of the teams combined.

Heck yeah, I want our players to look like NASCAR, especially if it means we can afford luxury tax for some quality free agents!

WOW these Jersey's are going to look UGLY. I can see mountain america on the jazz uniforms, but maybe that should be it. I hope the sponsorships are going to be limited. LOL if they put McDonalds or KFC on it.
Putting KFC on them would be racist.

Aw comon we all know Big AL would like it.
Wasn't trying to say you were wrong. I don't know how much the gap would widen since I'm sure the current advertising gap is already quite wide.

I'm not 100% sure it's $100M per season for EACH team but that's what I remember hearing. Let me go back and watch it again.
Okay, so I didn't watch it. There's no way it would add $100M for EACH team. Collectively, as a league, they predict they'll make $100M per season.

Heh. That's actually "Crocodiles" - it's a picture from the Cairns Taipans vs Townsville Crocodiles game, aka "The Reptile Rumble", in the Australasian NBL. They're neighbouring cities (kinda like Miami and Orlando) and both have House of M as a sponsor. At the other end of the scale, a diet food company sponsored the Melbourne "Lite 'n' Easy" Tigers.
At least the sponsors' logos have been toned down in recent years. It used to be that the entire front of the jersey would be a giant billboard. I tried to find a particularly bad example our local team sported one year, but either my google-fu is weak, or no-one was game to put the abomination on the web. I suspect the latter.
Then there was the time a milk company took over from the beer company. They sold full-cream milk in blue cartons, and lite milk in yellow cartons. As part of the deal, we changed from our traditional home red, away white strip (the home team wears colors here), to a home blue, away yellow combo. Since then we have gone back to red and now back to blue, and the sponsor's logo is much more subdued.

Also, the NBL league as a whole is sponsored, and one season the sponsor was Hummer. This led to a funny exchange during the NBL All-Star game, when the winner of the three-point shoot-out was being presented with their prize. The shoot-out was pretty uninspiring with more misses than makes, and the award presenter was finding it difficult to speak with any enthusiasm about the contest as he handed over the trophy to the winner. Then he looked down at his running sheet, did a double-take, looked up at the nearby cheergirls holding the final part of the prize, grinned, and said with some gusto, "And now, here's a couple of cheergirls to give you a little hummer!" at which point they gave him the toy car they were holding.
