Look for advertising on NBA uniforms this upcoming season.  Eight teams have announced deals with brands.  Some have showed off the look – it will be in the form of a “patch” on the upper right front of the uniform over the heart.

The G League

It’s not just the uni’s that will carry advertising, so will the NBA’s D-League (short for Development League). It’s changing to the G-League, as in Gatorade.

It sounds like a spoof, but it’s real. Just ask NBA G League President Malcolm Turner.
