    What does the TV deal have to do with ads on the jerseys?

    Unfortunate. The jerseys with ads on them that I've seen all look godawful.

    part of the reason the tv deal is so lucrative is due to the ads?

    So will the league, teams or players decide what ads go on what jerseys? I assume the NBA will be the final and only decision maker here.

    Maybe the NBA provides the final approval, but I'm inclined to believe that each team will find their own jersey sponsor.

    Also, does anyone know if only the team gets revenue from sponsors on the hardwood? For example the new ZTE Smartphone logo on the Toyota Center floor.

    Well I don't really mind it...except are the replica NBA jerseys also gonna come with these ads? I'd hate to buy a Rox jersey and have Toyota or whatever on the front of the jersey.

    Well if soccer jerseys have it I'm guessing basketball jerseys will have them too.

    I don't wear jerseys, so I don't care about this too much.

    show me examples of what they are going for. Curious if it's huge like soccer or just a small patch.

    I'm thinking it's going to be like what they have in the NFL preseason training camps.
