76ers To Make History, Become First NBA Team With Ads On Their Jerseys
The new age in American professional sports jerseys officially is upon us.
The Philadelphia 76ers on Monday became the first NBA team to put ads on their jerseys, announcing a partnership with secondary ticketing company StubHub.
The NBA announced in April that beginning in 2017, teams will be allowed to wear 2 1/2 inch-by-2 1/2 inch sponsorship patches on their game jerseys. The Sixers’ StubHub jersey patch will debut for the 2017-18 season.
We're partnering with @Stubhub as our official jersey patch sponsor! #StubHubSixers
