    So in theory if CF can find enough cash, we can have our logo on a Rockets space jersey?

    But I'm afraid the ugly uniform will only stain our good name. Wouldn't want be to associated with that puke-inducing design.

    So in theory eventually ESPN will put Curry's face all over every NBA uniform in a matter of 6 months. The way they smoke that pole you know its bound to happen. I missed when they used to s lebron's d.

    Looking forward to the Rockets wearing jerseys featuring Gallery Furniture, HEB, and Mak Haik Chevrolet logos.

    Glad to see that they blend the advertisement's colors into the jersey's.

    Can more than one team have the same advertisement on the jerseys? Im sure HEB will be on the Spurs jersey and Im hoping the rockets will have a Whataburger logo.

    I've been wanting the Dynamo to have a Whataburger logo for years. Since they are both orange, I think it would look great!

    Not sure how they would have an orange 'W' on the Rockets jersey though.

    It'd be cool if no other teams sell their souls. And the 76ers are the only ones running around like assholes for 82 games. People start calling them the Stubhubs.

    I did not think about Whataburger for the Dynamo jersey. That would look freaking awesome

    Only $5 million a year? Geez that is a low amount for something that is universally loathed by fans. Think of how many jersey sales they've lost by having that on there. I'd rather have them extend all commercial breaks by an additional 30 seconds than this.

    The logo looks small and reasonable now but these companies will continue to push boundaries and demand more real estate in exchange for more $$$. Silver's master plan is to have us fans grow accustomed to these ads and gradually start increasing the footprint. In 10 years I bet these jerseys will look exactly like soccer jerseys.

    another revenue stream for the owners but you won't see lower tickets prices or lower food/beer prices either. i doubt/hope you don't see it go to the players because they make enough money already. so that leaves the owners pocket.

    I have a collection of Jerseys, old school and new... Those will be the last ones I buy unfortunately... This is sad and pathetic.... Greed is a helluva drug..

    Those 6ers jerseys look terrible with that little tiny patch. I can only imagine in a few years when the company logos will be bigger than the team logos... Ugh

    The ads look so ****ing tacky, we should have some sort of protest rally if the Rockets pull this ****.
