| [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys First it will be advertising on practice uniforms and then I bet it will advance to game day uniforms....seems like everything is for sale today 
___
The New York Jets are taking advantage of a new NFL rule this summer that will allow them to place a corporate logo on their practice jerseys as a source of additional revenue.
The rule allows teams to sell sponsorships on their practice jerseys, and the patches can be no larger than 3-by-4 inches.
The patch the Jets will wear starting in training camp features the logo of Atlantic Health, a New Jersey-based health care provider that owns naming rights on the team's training facility in Florham Park, N.J.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but Matt Higgins, the team's executive vice president of business operations, confirmed Tuesday the Jets will earn extra revenue. Houston and Green Bay are among other teams exploring similar options.

| Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys said by Rook008 :A single 3 inch by 4 inch patch probably won't be too distracting at all. As long as it's a single patch. It is. For starters. Then it's 2 patches, then helmet advertisements. Eventually the stretcher crew will have an extra member, miked up, so that when they're taking a player off the field with a broken leg he can do a voiceover extolling the virtues of arthritis-strength tylenol. | |

| This kind of thing never seemed to me a judicious use of advertising dollars.
First off, how many eyeballs are even going to see a practice jersey? They don't wear them in preseason games, do they?
So the only people who are going to see the logo are those who physically attend practice, and apparently you won't even be able to really tell what it is unless you're pretty close.
Maybe it'll show up in a photo now and then in the sports section of the newspaper or on ESPN or something.
Still, of the relatively few people who even see or notice it, what percentage of them are going to think, "Hey, look! Atlantic Health! I think I'll just rush right on over there and sign up!"
But . . . . I suppose that's why I'm not a marketing guy. (Thank God.)

| Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys I could never be a marketing guy either even though one of the most successful guys I know has been in that most of his life and is also a very successful restaurant owner..
I realize advertising and sponsorship is necessary but I can't stand how commercialism has taken over so much..It is one of the main reasons I don't watch television on a regular basis..
The older I become the more I get the idea of going into the woods to live somewhere...Kind of like the Unabomber lifestyle... but without the bomb fetish.  | |

$40 per month is not "free"-- not in the world I live in, anyway.
And I consider that a fair deal, btw.
Though I'm sure Verizon and every other company on this Earth would appreciate it if I still saw advertising from them anyway, I don't.
Yet Verizon still gets their 40 bucks every month-- so don't tell me it's advertising that makes the "Intarweb free". | |

People don't have free internet. This is a bad argument or example to support your point. Verizon isnt paying Yahoo or Google or Newsday or Facebook or the gajillion other sites that run our lives.
It's like there's an echo in here.

| Giants too. Timex, I think. I think Tomex will be the name of their practice facility and during season, timeouts will be "Timex Timeouts".
I always wondered if the national announcers are required to say that kind of thing and the corporate stadium names. What if they just blew that off? | |

| Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys As someone who's never really watched Soccer, that's like the opposite of what I'm used to seeing. That little patch in the first pic is the Team Logo, I assume?
Kind of makes a 3 inch by 4 inch "sponsor" patch seem insignificant.

| Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys Yup, most soccer teams will have a small patch with their team logo, and the main logo will be the sponsor, which might change every few years.
Fans and teams seem to embrace the sponsor as part of their team actually, as the sponsor almost becomes synonymous with the team itself. | |

| Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys Thanks for the info.
Even though it's so different from Football here, it's not that bad looking. I think it's because the design is so simple, A big Sponsor logo, and a small Team patch.

| Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys Well thats new. I really hope my Green Bay Packers dont do that.
The practice jersey's are one thing but i hope they dont do the game day uniforms. Ive watched soccer and i never really noticed that. I guess it works for them. I dont know if it would work in the NFL.
