Looks like it is all but official, and there will soon be ad patches on NBA jerseys. I don't love the idea but I also don't feel strongly opposed to it. However, this thread is not intended as a forum to argue the pros (*crickets*...puts more money into owners' pockets??) and cons (It's destroying the purity of my precious professional sports league!!!).

With that said, what companies/logos would you like to see on different NBA jerseys? Remember this is inevitable so answering, "NO ADS," and presenting your case on why you don't want this to happen isn't the point of this thread. Resistance is futile and, like Kent Brockman, we should welcome our new insect overlords.

To start, I think Guinness would be a good sponsor for the Celtics. A black and gold patch with the Guinness harp would be unobtrusive and consistent with the Irish theme. I also wouldn't mind Sprite because of the color and relationship with basketball (history of bball ad campaigns), and Lucky Charms would be silly but fun.

I immediately thought of Guinness too. But, would that fly with the NBA? Aren't they already pimping Bacardi as the official drink?

Aer Lingus seems another obvious choice.

A few more:

Bulls- Red Bull
Hornets- Honey Nut Cheerios

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

I can't express how much I hate this idea. They outdid themselves this time around -- I thought sleeved jerseys and arena naming rights as as bad as they could go.
