Sponsorhip Patches - Who would you like to see on Jazz's jersey?!?!

How about:

Haha, soccer... Go Xango's!

That's kinda funny because it doesn't look that bad. If companies do sponsor advertisements on jerseys, the designers are going to have to be very careful about how they going to do it. The McDonald's examples are just terrible looking. Would fans have to buy jersey's with the same design? Ugh.
 
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.

That was good for a laugh and a rep.
 
Well, Bloomberg will never let McDonald's sponsor the NY teams. But he has taken bribes to allow 7-11 to continue to sell Big Gulps, so I'm assuming that would be a natural tie-in.
 
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.

If you divvy that up, that means teams over the course of a year would make about $1.5 million. That's twice the salary of a league minimum player! What a killer deal for the NBA, and all they had to do is be the first major pro team sport in the US to sell away what little dignity they had left.

Are you sure?

100 divided by 30 = 3.33... so wouldn't that mean an average of 3.33 million per team?

I'm no math expert.

I'm assuming he is counting the season as half a fiscal year, so to get the amount earned per year you would have to divide that 3.33 by 2, getting around 1.6 million per year.

That or he just had a brain fart.
 
$3(.33)/2 (50/50 BRI split) - the league's cut (likely sizable since they own the rights to all of this) = $1.5 (being generous). It's probably less than that, actually, and for the Jazz, I guarantee it's less than that.

Hooray, Greg can go buy a couple more land-cruisers. Killer deal for the league. A no-brainer.

And for the players? they get to divvy up that money between 400 people, essentially. I'm sure what they gain on average will be a lot more than how much the average player blows on their entourage and gambling on a wild night.

Everyone wins!

Wouldn't the money offset any holdbacks? So the higher salaried players benefit more by having more of their money actually paid out to them.
