Yuck.

The Celts have one of the best jerseys in the league.  Crisp, clean, classic.

The GE logo does not fit with it at all.

Really don't like where this is headed.

I don't mind it. if the money helps the team, why not?

The logo on its own bothers me just because it ruins the symmetry of the jersey.

It bothers me more because I assume this means we're headed toward logos on every spare inch of the jersey, not to mention all over the court.

Do you hear that?

The flood gates.. they are open


More sponsors to come

if you'r worried about symmetry, there is going to be a nike logo on the other side.

for now, just personally i kinda like it, it's small and not really bothering me atm, but I do see where you're going with this. Like European soccer, where the Tmobile sign is like half the jersey lol

but just curious if anyone knows the answer, when a company sponsors a team for their jerseys, does it mean the Celtics/NBA doesn't have to spend money on them?

So in a way, the Celtics cut cost  while companies like GE has free marketing? is that how it works?

Look on the bright side, at least its not this:

I think Adidas (who currently make the jerseys, and Nike next year) actually pay the NBA and supply them with the uniforms.

Over time "Boston" font size will decrease and "GE Logo" size will increase. Mark my words.

dont like it at all. we are so inundated with corporate advertising as it is that having it appear on uniforms is not what i want to see.

and is this only the start? do the nba players wind up looking likes nascar drivers?
