For the 2017-2018 season, the NBA will debut on-jersey advertisements for the first time in the big four. The advertisement patches, measuring just 2.5 inches across, will generate $100 million in new revenue for the NBA. The return per square inch is enormous. It seems to me (and Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner) that this is a no-brainer. [more...]
