NBA Moves League Logo to the Back of all Jerseys, Possibly Making Room for Ads

Published:
As noticed by Paul Lukas over at Uni-Watch, the new Charlotte Hornets uniforms feature the NBA logo on the back of the jersey, above the NOB, instead of the front left chest area. Since Lukas noticed it, it’s been confirmed by the NBA that this is a mandated league-wide change to all jerseys, and speculation has arisen that this is just step one in what Adam Silver called the “inevitable” addition of advertisements to jerseys. And when that day comes, we know the Sixers will end up with the cheesiest, lamest, sponsor logo.
