MattFancy Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/26/league-preparing-to-cross-the-sponsorship-rubicon/ I think this would be a horrible idea if it happens. I can see the Redskins jerseys now, a big FedEX in the middle instead of a number or REDSKINS on it. This isn't NASCAR. I won't buy a jersey if it has all that crap on it!

pjfootballer Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 It would probably go on the shoulder pads. But I'd hate to see it. Bush league if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artmonkforHOF Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 If they do put them on, they will never come off. Advertisers will pay an arm and a leg to have their logo on an NFL jersey. The NFL, seeing as how it loves to make money, will look at what they bring in on the trial, see that they have MANY more competitive offers on the table and start a bidding war like they do with the TV networks. Admen will love it, think about them going to their clients "do you want to be the first logo on a north american pro sports team jersey, and not just any sports league but the gran daddy of them all the NFL." Heinz would pay more to have an exclusive deal with Pittsburgh, Microsoft or Nike for Seattle, and Bubba's bail bonds and "free-lance model rentals" for former Cowboys would fit in Dallas.

SIXX99 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I guess if it was like a bigger Reebok logo or Under Armor I could tolerate it. But I dont want to see a Budweiser patch or McDonalds logo out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbleedBnG83 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 This would be horrible!!! Uniforms in sports are just as symbolic as the sport itself and represent the team. Teams history and tradition would be stripped by defacing the uni's with this crap. They make enough money. I would only be in favor if it brought ticket prices down DRASTICALLY!

Who cares...it's just on the practice jerseys...where after practice interviews for the nightly news you could see your advertisement on a shoulder pad...if it helps keep the price of tickets down I'm all for it.

CPortJGibbs89 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Not a big fan of this at all. Like others said it was only a matter of time. I hope it is delayed as long as possible. I would never buy another jersey again it would look like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoDus84 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 A horrible ass idea. I'm already sick of the sheer amount of advertising that gets blown into our faces on tv, the web, in print, on the radio, etc. I mean, you cant even turn around without something being advertised. Doesnt the NFL make enough revenue with advertising, with the 25 5 minute commercial breaks during every single game? Jesus. I'm sick of this ****.
