    I was expecting more of a soccer jersey feel, those patches look stupid.

    I'd be cool with this if and only if it means they will reduce ticket prices to make them more affordable for most people. Decent NBA tickets have become something only the really wealthy can afford.

    Guess from a distance this might look like a Shamrock

    Welp.

    The end of an era. At least make the logo adopt the team's color scheme. What is that ugly Brooklyn Nets ****. :(

    This is every bit as awful as I thought it would be. God (or somebody!) help us all.

    I have been against this "money grab" from the beginning. This isn't like the WNBA where they are hurting for revenue streams to stay alive. This is just a money grab and it trashes the jersey and the marketing.

    IF they are going to do this, at least do it subtly like the Boston Celtics GE implementation. But that Brooklyn "red patch?" That is gawd awful!

    It's going to be doubly LOL if they INCLUDE that garbage on FAN NBA Merchandise. I wouldn't put it past them. And that would be a non-starter for me.

    It may be time to start moving on from this league. It's just entertainment at the end of the day. Frankly I've spent less and less time with it since the CSN debacle.

    Charity for cancer research!

    Dammit Utah... how am I supposed to hate you for that??

    All right, I'll reserve my hatred just this once.

    Kudos, you miserable bastards.

    I really really want to hate it. But this is a decent way of doing jersey ads. Its for a good cause, so the good humanitarian issue can deflect and shield the money grab better

    And the patch BLENDS with the jersey, unlike that hideous Brooklyn ad.. This is still as FAR as it should go, clean uni is better. But really doesnt look any different from other special occassion symbols and decals. It looks like a typical league-wide promotion, not a team-forced thing

    Jersey looks clean and Nike logo within proportion. I hope it's the same with the Rockets though unlikely with all the stripes..

    You may not have heard this, but America is the greatest country on the planet! If we don't want ads, we don't want no stinking ads!!

    I think the ad logo still sticks out too much, even with it fitting a team color. At least the background of the Orlando ad logo matches the jersey color. I guess there's just no subtle way to do it really. Companies pay sponsorships for visibility not to blend in
