[NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys in Sports Chat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22598606 en Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:12:52 EDT Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:12:52 EDT Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621445 Rocky15 : 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.

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.

Fans and teams seem to embrace the sponsor as part of their team actually, as the sponsor almost becomes synonymous with the team itself.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621098 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:39:19 EDT Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22621087 Rook008 : 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.

It is. For starters. Then it's 2 patches, then helmet advertisements.

I pay Verizon $40 every month so I can use the "Intarweb".
$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".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22599722 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:34:31 EDT Re: [NFL] Jets to wear corporate patch on practice jerseys http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22599603 The Dv8or : I just remember that without commercials and advertising, a lot of shit that's currently free won't be... like 99% of the Intarweb.

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..

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.)

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.
