    I don't mind this, but I would prefer one large advertisement on the front, not a bunch of patches all over the jersey.

    Well the flopping is already at the soccer level so why not bring the uniforms on par. Stern is such a joke, anything for a buck.

    'Cause they don't make enough damn money.

    Aesthetics wise, a small 2"x2" space on the jersey shoulder shouldn't be too offensive. Especially if they establish strict guidelines, which I expect the league to do.

    Surely this means Adidas gets their mark on the jersey too?

    Hopefully ticket prices go down for you fans in the US.

    I hope we move toward long sleeves and long pants covered with NASCAR style adverts.

    As if our uniforms didn't suck enough already.

    Don't see why all the hate. It's a smart business move.

    Can't wait for the Gallery Furniture patch on the Rockets' jerseys. :)

    God help us all. Next, they'll have players do live ads during halftime. Where do you draw the line? Isn't it bad enough that the arenas have bizarre names, some named after companies few people have even heard of? That we have goofy banner ads rotating like mad along the sidelines? And before long, some "bright" player will name himself after a brand. Dwight Adidas! Meta World Cheerios! Carmelo Acura! Yes, I can see it now.

    Where's a bucket? I may need to throw up.

    Can we raise enough $$$ to put a CFnet on our beloved Rockets space suit jerseys?

    Hell maybe even add them to the Mavs, Heat, or Lakers. That would be grand!

    It's not simply a business, it's a public trust.

    That would be really awesome, but I bet it would be really expensive.

    I'm with you. I feel like in modern society we're desensitized to how much we're drowning in advertizements.
