Corporate Logos on Jerseys
Hay, just saw that the Celtics will have the cursive GE logo patch on their uniforms permanently. I liked the clean look of that classic Celtics jersey with nothing but a daisy (oops clover leaf) and the block letters, and the number---clean look with no garish embellishments. But they said that the cash flow influx will be huge from GE. Made me wonder--when/ will HS jerseys have a corporate logo on them? In the High Schools around here and other places I go officiate games it is quite normal to see signage of local businesses in the gym, on the walls, in the rafters, hanging on a banner at the score table, etc...Also, I know that several local grocery store chains are the exclusive providers of snacks and Gatorade for the local high school sports teams. Maybe one day soon a school will feature jerseys with a walmart logo patch? a Staples patch? or some other. Of course approvals from the NF board and regions would be necessary, but imagine the cash influx---maybe even they could increase Official's pay rate--or have 3 officials for sub varsity contests or maybe more money for the other school activities like debate club, orchestra, theatre, or a better budget to get better speakers at the graduation ceremonies ?
