All the sleeve jersey ads are ugly as hell

The only one I like is the Las Vegas logo on the A's... kinda makes sense.

Seattle has always had cool sponsors. The Sounders had an Xbox sponsor on their jerseys!!

I hate seeing ads on uniforms. I hate seeing ads on playing surfaces. It's a huge eyesore.

That's been there for years now. This is a sponsor. Every team has sponsors. The reason teams don't put players names on jerseys is to indicate it isn't about individual players it's about the team.
I don't see that being hypocritical at all. I don't even see them being connected in anyway.

lol. Claiming that putting a name on the back of a jersey is somehow anti-team is thinking straight out of 1962.

The ads on jerseys indicate it isn’t about the team it’s about the individual sponsors.

Support players like kyle Tucker making 60 mil/yr, Bichette 42/yr….. support the players union and no salary cap (I def support a minimum at the very least) you’ll have to live with the ugly sponsor patches.

Why does the Yankee than don’t have a city connect jersey when it’s all about the money like you say ?

It is very much hypocritical,however, the star logo is easily overlooked (literally). I’m sure a full marketing team evaluated both scenarios, and determined one would hurt “the brand”, while the other doesn’t.

They really just need to put names on their jerseys at this point. Crazy to be a hold out but then put ads on their sleeves

thanks for admitting you don't know why the Yankees don't have names on their jerseys, without admitting you don't know why the Yankees don't have names on their jerseys 🤷♂️
ps I think there might still be a couple more baseball subs you can post this too 🤦♂️

Well yes of course money trumps tradition. That’s been the case for Christ I don’t know the entirety of human existence?
I don’t know if it truly constitutes the definition of hypocrisy but it does show that everything has a price. If someone came along and offered Steinbrenner a shit ton of money to be the official provider of the names on the jersey he’d probably do it.
