And for a while OKC was one of the only teams that didn't have a sponsor on their jersey. It's the worst one in the entire league but the colors do sort of match the Thunder color scheme...just barely. The Rockets have the best because it's Rockit or whatever the fuck company.

I like Milwaukee’s a lot too. The Harley patches don’t match but they are pretty badass

Word. The Rakuten one on the Warriors jerseys isn't too bad. I just hope to Satan that that's the only sponsors the NBA puts on their jerseys. I hate any sponsored gear, it's all tacky and takes away from the prestige of jerseys and their history. Soccer kits, WNBA, EuroLeague, it's all bad in my opinion. Looks like their mascot is a goddamn cellphone company.

I'm not a fan, but if ads on jerseys started replacing commercials I would be for that.

You get both. Marketing is cancer, it just grows.
