That Aud Smell Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I'm making you a promise. I will never buy a jersey with a sponsorship on it. I'll just keep buying jerseys on eBay from the old days and I'll be content with that. Just wait 'til your own boy immortalizes #58 and Pegula Sports and Entertainment is front and center. Quote

Tom Backyard Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I support Nottingham Forest, an English football club. I have a a handful of Forest kits, which I bought without the sponsor. They're very nice. The only kit I have with a sponsor is the mid-90's Labatt's sponsor jersey. It's fun to get drunk wearing that shirt. It can be sort of fun if the sponsor is the right one. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 Good for you, Tom B. And, hey. Great screen name. Did Labatt sponsor Nottingham Forest?! Also, wasn't Nottingham the opponent when the tragedy of the 96 occurred? Quote
thewookie1 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 This is a sad day for all American sports Quote

Remember little league, we were the Yankees sponsored by Pasquale's Pizza's and Subs on Hertle Avenue... out of Shoshone Park. Memories. But God awful sponsorship logo on shirts.

Huckleberry Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I'm used to it by now because of football, but jerseys have like 6 sponsors on them, its to much. one in the front and one in the back I can handle. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 Here's a novel idea, how about instead of advertisement money from ads on jerseys making it into the wallets of the teams, owners and players......... take that revenue and reduce ticket prices? If you're going to continue to ruin the sport at least think about the fans for once. Quote
ubkev Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I was the only kid on my AYSO team who didn't iron the Dannon yogurt patch onto my sleeve, because I thought it was stupid as a 9 year old. Oh and Little League.... UAW, represent! Quote

SDS Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 The only way to prevent this is social media outrage towards the individual advertisers themselves. Unflattering memes might make them think twice, but the fans would have to have the stamina of Forest Gump going for a run. Quote
Weave Posted April 16, 2016 Report Posted April 16, 2016 I predict outrage now and quick acceptance in the future… Yup. And in another decade fans will be wearing those sponsor logos proudly like NASCAR fans. Quote
Taro T Posted April 17, 2016 Report Posted April 17, 2016 Yup. And in another decade fans will be wearing those sponsor logos proudly like NASCAR fans. Most will. Some of us never bought into the a.s.s. (slug, more commonly referred) and won't buy into this crud eitner. Quote
Huckleberry Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Always found it strange such a revenue stream remained untapped in North American sports. If its only one sponsor I never minded it, but some football teams got like 4 - 5 all over their jerseys. Quote

WildCard Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Posted April 19, 2016 Probably been posted before, but ... NHL to Test Uniform Ads During 2016 World Cup. And I was going to actually get tickets to that. I won't buy their jerseys, hats, or any of their if they ever put ads on jerseys. Quote
Eleven Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Probably been posted before, but ... NHL to Test Uniform Ads During 2016 World Cup. I REALLY don't like corporate sponsors on national team stuff. Quote
carpandean Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 I REALLY don't like corporate sponsors on national team stuff. Me, too. Which reminds me ... I will be unhappy if/when they put ads on the jerseys ... I will stop watching if they put them on the front of the helmets: Quote
Eleven Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Me, too. Which reminds me ... I will be unhappy if/when they put ads on the jerseys ... I will stop watching if they put them on the front of the helmets: No you won't. Quote
Huckleberry Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Me, too. Which reminds me ... I will be unhappy if/when they put ads on the jerseys ... I will stop watching if they put them on the front of the helmets: bet you'll buy a skoda :p Quote
Drunkard Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Not a fan of ads on jerseys or helmets but I reserve the right to change my mind if Massengil becomes the sponsor for all things Boston. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 bet you'll buy a skoda :P I've driven them many times in Europe. Fantastic car. Wish I had brought one home with us ... ... *anything to declare?* ... *yes. one awesome car.* Quote
