Sad thing is, do these owners really believe fans see the ads on the uniform and THAT is what sparks them to spend $$$ on the product? As if they didn't already know about said product already??
Maybe there are quite a few lemmings out there that do, but enough to offset the disgust from mainstream fans?
I can't be the only one that actually loathes this nonsense being pushed down fans throats so much that whatever is advertised on the jersey -- I won't touch! I'll go out of my way to avoid it.
Back in the day, these leagues were heavily reliant upon advertisers just to broadcast games. That time has come and gone. They have a myriad of way to advertise their partners. They don't need to advertise on their uniforms to continue to operate.
Go eff yourselves, NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. I ain't buying what your peddling, beyond a football game.
