And so it begins: Bucks to wear Harley Davidson ad on jerseys in 2017/18

Stadium naming rights, sideline banners.

But even without that they still wouldn't have timeouts. In fact, it's never even been considered or mentioned by FIFA.

soccer has timeouts, and have had them since the 2014 cup.

2014 FIFA World Cup Welcomes The Timeout To Soccer

they only use them in extreme situations, i.e heat.

With the timeout rule, teams will have the chance to use a set of 3-4 breaks per half for players to rest and hydrate. Despite the fact that this might sound unappealing in terms of the spectacle and pace of the games, the hope is that the players will greatly benefit and their performances will also improve in the long run.

That was only used due to to the heat and humidity. Nothing to do with ad revenue. In fact, if I remember correctly, the breaks were so brief they didn't even go to commercial.

yup

but they do have a timeouts clause, and they have used them.

im just saying soccer has timeouts, so FIFA has considered it for one purpose or another.

It was a one time thing during the World Cup, like I said, for health benefits. Hasn't happened before, and hasn't since.

And it wasn't considered a timeout, it was a 3 minute water break so that the players didn't have to run around in 100 degree heat for 45 minutes.

The Nets jersey looks terrible with that new patch

Pretty soon the Nets are going to have some kind of Russian sex toy patch, and kids all over New York are going to be wearing A DeAngelo Russell jersey with A Moscow dildo next to "NETS."

How does one little patch, which IMO ruins a lot of the look of the uniform, make up for a few minutes of TV commercials???

Also, black and orange looks awful on a green/white/tan jersey.

With or without ads or commercials, soccer never had any timeouts.

They make their money by charging fans ridiculous ticket prices and $8 for a cup of tea (in England any way)

It's expensive to attend a freaking soccer match? Really?

It's the most popular sport in the world

Not for the La Galaxy or USL in general.

They are talking about Fifa Teams like Real Madrid with Ronoldo...etc.

General electric on a Boston Celtics jersey...mother of Christ...

I have a friend who used to work for Chelsea FC who gave me free tickets for every other game when I lived in London. If I couldn't make it, I'd sell them on and easily make $100-120 for each one. And those were pretty bad seats too.

Knicks should pick up USPS and just mail it in.

Same with the Lakers, and Spurs. Their Jerseys really don't change.

Oregon fans have no say when it comes to jersey differential... Lol

I don't really care all that much so long as it just stays as a little patch
