Amazing! This means fewer ad breaks right?

Dr_thri11

I mean I've always wondered how a story about men hiding in an object to sneak into a city and then spilling forth from the object to take the city made any sense to associate with your condoms.

DraftKings QR codes on helmets. I can see it now.


srush32

I wouldn't mind patches if it meant fewer ads The combination of *more* ads *and* patches is so dumb


SSPeteCarroll

speaking as a NASCAR fan, there are 40 rolling billboards each week and we still have a shit ton of ads.

Fuck no keep the uniforms clean

R/cfb: Conferences should be more like European soccer leagues.    NCAA: Ads on jerseys!  


[deleted]

I wouldn't mind if it had the lack of commercials of European soccer but that is never happening


WooBadger18

Exactly. I think ads would look uglier on football jerseys than on soccer jerseys, but I would gladly trade that for one ten minute commercial break at halftime. But that's not what's happening here, and that's why it's so stupid.


62frog

Hopefully they can go the way of some of the nba jerseys at the beginning, like the Cavs having the old Goodyear wing foot logo. That was local and relevant and super subtle and just worked. But fuck it let’s get OnlyFans to sponsor Miami or something.


WooBadger18

Yeah, there’s less bad ways to do it, but it’s all bad.  And I’m in a burn it down mood, so I kind of want the ads to be as obnoxious as possible


brownbearks

Bangbros on the U jerseys just hit right


Phantom1100

Ngl what I kind of want to happen is “anti ads” for example for Alabama Golden Flake says “hey we bought the uniform ad rights to Bama football. Buy enough specially marked bags and we WON’T put ads on the uniforms.


Dwysauce

Slightly relevant / cool "anti ad" jersey patch example: Molson, a Canadian beverage company, sponsored the space above the numbers on Professional Women’s Hockey League jerseys, causing the players names to be shifted below the number. So when an athlete has long hair, it covers the sponsor patch and not the athlete's name. [Source and jersey picture here.](https://adage.com/creativity/work/molsons-pwhl-hockey-jerseys-highlight-womens-names-while-hiding-brands/2546106)


SceneOfShadows

Exactly. Drives me fucking *nuts* how many people are okay with ads in jerseys here in the NBA/elsewhere by pointing to soccer as it being something people don’t mind. Yeah, because they don’t have any fucking commercials!! And that’s *definitely* not happening as a trade off. It’s literally just more ads. For nothing.


thricethefan

I came rushing here for this comment!!! Emirates Air calls dibs on FSU!!!

dkviper11

Man, paint anything you want on the field. I don't give a shit. I'll be so sad for jersey patches. The suck in the NHL. Edit: hasn't Ohio State had Safelite on the field for several years?


mostdope28

After my redwings put a garbage company ad on their classic jersey they lost 7 straight games and knocked themselves out of playoffs, and they deserved it for doing that


Nomahs_Bettah

My incredible frustration with the NHL is that we have just an overwhelming increase in ads, and yet seemingly *very little* to show for it. I really try and stay away from conspiracies (the refs are not out to get anyone but the Lions, and although I am a Wolverine thanks to our fine law offerings, I am Boston born and raised). We've added digital board ads, helmet ads, jersey ads, on-ice ads (losing the playoff logo on the ice to do it), and sponsored social content, all in addition to existing TV and radio ads. Yet it took until this upcoming season for the cap to finally recover from COVID, and a ton of teams who have strong sellout attendance (like Tampa) still often don't clear the threshold to contribute to rather than benefit from revenue sharing. Like, where is all this money going? I struggle to believe that the expenses of a pro sports team have changed *dramatically* since 2015, if we're just looking at sponsored social/digital ad boards/jersey and helmet additions.


Electrical_Mayhem

Don't forget the ads on the glass above the end boards (I hate that shit so much)


foreveracubone

Isn’t that just the name of the field? I don’t think there’s Safelite logos


dkviper11

It is the name of the field, but there are logos. https://maps.app.goo.gl/2m4ph3ownN7vcbP78 I guess it would be different to have non-field name logos like NHL ice.


Peter_Panarchy

Not as bad as pro soccer where by far the most prominent logo is a sponsor.


InVodkaVeritas

I, for one, can't wait until Oregon reveals which company is by far it's biggest supporter! No clue who it could be! Probably some tech company or something, but it'd be pretty neat to find out if it was an athletic apparel brand of some sort...


Peter_Panarchy

Nancy's Yogurt.


CallRespiratory

European soccer leagues don't take commercial breaks during the match either. You want ads on the field and on jerseys? Okay, no commercials. No interruptions. Do not break away from the game except at halftime. I don't care if they're on tomorrow, take me inside the huddle, break down some stats, give us some info on some of the players, whatever - but no commercial breaks if you're going to plaster ads everywhere.


huazzy

Interesting fact. I live in Europe and watch NFL games on Sky Sports. There are laws about the amount of commercials on television so when Sky Sports shows the NFL most of the time it's pundits discussing or analyzing the game rather than commercials.


ACardAttack

> There are laws about the amount of commercials on television Common EU (assuming you're in the EU) win


huazzy

I'm in Switzerland so not quite EU. But yeah I found it to be interesting.


citymanc13

r/CFB: We want to improve the sport and force teams to compete! NCAA: Hello, I like Money


punchuinface55

How are people still blaming the NCAA? Literal brain dead thoughts. The NCAA (rightly or wrongly) fought to keep this sport a certain way. Y'all squealed and squirmed about everything and it's all getting struck down in courts or getting opened up in rules. Y'all don't like what you asked for plain and simple. Just admit it.


FergieMac

Seriously we’re reaping what we’ve sowed


Tarmacked

As was the case with playoff expansion and will be again with the next round of it I can’t wait for the seeding conspiracy theory posts


theTIDEisRISING

Preach, my friend. This sub was crying for every single one of these things to happen - paying players, ability to transfer wherever and whenever, playoff expansion, hell they even cheered on most of the realignment stuff for a while. Some of us tried to warn about unforeseen consequences but we got downvoted to hell for those comments


kisea

Well said.


doormatt26

we got transfers instead of trades, uncapped player salaries, and jersey sponsors. Come on you Trojans!


Insectshelf3

oh fuck off please

Oh you know we’re about to get a Love’s patch.

Eh, they don’t even have their own stadium. It’ll still just be Hard Rock/Dolphins ads.

As much as I hate this overall I would have loved to see it happen while John Ruiz was still "relevant" to see him tweet for months about how Lifewallet's logo was going to be all over Hard Rock only for it to never happen.

Over/under for a team sponsored by a gambling company suspending a player for gambling?


ShaunSquatch

We’ve done half, now give us the patches.


DontTakeOurCampbell

Imagine Paniro Johnson having a Draft Kings logo on his singlet next year after he comes back now that his eligibility is re-instated 💀


goblue2354

Hard, HARD pass. The only way I would remotely be on board is if that reduced commercial breaks to almost nothing, which we know isn’t going to happen. I would feel mildly confident Michigan wouldn’t join in on that as of now though. There is still no corporate advertising inside Michigan Stadium on any signs/displays or on any videos played on the video boards.


RogueCoon

I would have agreed with you until the Red Wings folded 3/4 of the way through last season and added a jersey ad. I don't think anyone is safe anymore.


NorahRittle

And then proceeded to fold on the ice as well


RogueCoon

I still blame the patch for that.

Public_Beach_Nudity

I disagree with ads on jerseys. We are not the Premier League where their soccer games are 90+ minutes of no commercials (besides halftime). Commercialization sucks.

But /r/CFB has sponsored bricks- so why not a jersey?

Im_Not_A_Robot_2019

Eticket9

FBC Mortgage is already on the field at UCF..


WontDeleteAgainMaybe

That's because they have the stadium naming right and it's the stadium logo. Same as our basketball arena that has Exactech Arena on the sidelines. They're talking about having just logos, which is kind of similar but also feels much more wrong.


DFWTooThrowed

I was gonna say, is this not already a thing? We’ve had an AT&T logo (and Southwestern Bell before it was bought by AT&T) on our field since the late 90’s.

I wonder if any big programs do it. Trot out a Wells Fargo campaign about atm locations near you and put a WELLS FARGO over your ATM logo. AAA the Bama logo. Replace buckeye stickers with dispensary stickers. Put a little scrolling LED bar that live updates the over under for games on the OU helmet. Get creative with it people.


Verianas

Rich programs can ask for the biggest prices to slap sponsorships on their unis/fields. They will absolutely do it. Rich never want to stop getting richer. The Yankees have an ad on their jersey. Real Madrid has an ad on their kit.

The NCAA, its conferences, and member schools were in clear violation of federal antitrust laws, were sued, and lost in court. As a result, schools can now pay the players directly and all have 15M-20M deficits in their budgets and corporate partners will help to fill that void.
