| reply to Rook008 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. -- Mafia: »»Pub Games Wanna play a game? |

| reply to 57721182 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. -- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." - H.

| reply to Rook008 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. |

| reply to 57721182 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. -- "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." - H. L. Mencken

As a life long football (soccer) fan, wearing corporate sponsors on jerseys only seems normal. |

| reply to Rook008 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. |

| reply to sailor 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? |
