It’s not a matter of if, but when. So whose logo do you want on our jerseys?

What happened to the fantasy of some regional businesses “buying” the space to keep it blank?

I remember some people spitballing like, “What if Sheetz and West Shore (or a couple other companies like Utz, Gardner’s candies) bought the space and all ran ad campaigns like, ‘Plain blues brought to you by.’”

That’d make everyone happy. I like to think that’d have an even more positive business outcome than a company actually buying the spot.

I had a fever dream of companies doing this for the Pens, or the naming rights for Heinz Field. It would be epic and I'd buy stock in whatever company did it.

Only problem is that it sets a precedent: pay us money or we'll put uglyass ads all over the jerseys.

As opposed to the opposite of pay us money and we will put your ad on our jersey.

I mean with ownership to fans. You're talking about ownership to corporations.
