NBA’s board of governors has approved more advertising on team gear, according to a report from ESPN. The updates include allowing a 3 inch-by-3 inch patch on teams’ shooting shirts and warm-up jackets.
The ESPN report read, “The NBA’s board of governors has approved an additional sponsorship patch for team uniform sets for the 2021-22 season, with the upcoming shooting shirt patch program allowing teams to include branded sponsor patches on both teams shooting shirts and warm-up jackets. Teams can add an existing jersey patch program partner’s logo to their shooting shirt, or look to begin negotiations with a new corporate marketing partner that will receive visibility on the set of warm-up tops.”
The report added that a patch be located either on the currently blank right sleeve, opposite the league’s NBA 75th diamond logo, or on the left chest, adjacent to the existing team logo location. Logo placement will be on a team-by-team decision.
