“Who the hell cares about a small patch on the jersey? Get over it.”
***2 decades later***
“Who the hell cares about the entire jersey, playing surface, team names, and trophies (among other things) having corporate branding? Get over it. I’m still cheering for my Rogers™ Edmonton Oilers powered by Rexall® to take the MasterCard™ Stanley Starbucks™ Cup!”
Ad creep folks. Think long term.
I'm with KevFu here, he's making a lot of really solid points that people don't understand or like.
If you don't think it's coming, you're wrong. It's all about money. And that won't stop. Ever.
You've got people cutting the cord, so sports on TV isn't fire proof as it once was. Just wait until all these new TV deals pop up, 2 things are going to happen, they will be lower then the leagues expect, or they will be so much more over the top because these stations feel that sports is PVR proof TV. Once everyone realizes that sports isn't as "scheduled viewing" as the stations think they are, the price will drop.
Netflix will eventually get commercials. Ads will be on the jerseys. Youtube will get sports rights and plaster shit everywhere....
It's corporate America. The business model is flawed. You have to hit your projections or else the company value drops and then everyone is trouble.
It's keep building until you can't, and when you can't cut costs to keep building.
This whole thing is just a drop in the advertising bucket. Ads will be on jerseys. 100%
