I know a lot of people are indifferent to this kind of thing or just resigned to it but I really hate it. Yeah I’ll still keep watching that garbage but it just blows. The uniform should be off-limits to advertisers and that’s that.

It's inevitable though. The biggest league of the most popular sport in the world doesn't even have the team name as the most prominent thing on the jersey

Every baseball stadium is already littered with signs, the at-bats are interrupted by micro-commercials, and now even the players are walking billboards. And it’s an aesthetic eyesore on top of everything else.

I knew I was gonna hate the ads on the uniforms but somehow I actually hate it even more that I thought I would. There isn’t even an attempt to be anything but a giant ugly fuckin billboard. I’m so goddamned sick of being harassed for my business every second of every day.

I dont care even a little bit. It's a patch on the sleeve and they already had the nike logo on the jersey. The umps dumb crypto scam logo didn't bother me at all last year, the ads on the NBA jerseys don't bother me, soccer is nothing but a giant ad. This seems silly to get worked up about.

It'll be a boiling frog scenario but if MLB at-bats ever end up looking like NPB I'm out, and we're already halfway there.

Kirios posted:It's baffling that as an Astro fan in Portland I get a much better (and cheaper!) watching experience than an Astro fan in Houston. I live in DC and the only time I can't watch the Astros is when they play the Nats or Orioles, since MASN refuses to let streaming operators carry them Also, I watch for free since my cell phone provider is T-Mobile and they give free MLB.TV as a perk

Ads are ugly and annoying. “Hurr durr soccer does it” yea soccer is also two continuous 45-50 minute blocks of play while baseball has a million built-in stoppages ripe for commercial breaks. I can grudgingly see the case for making soccer players into bipedal billboards, I cannot for baseball. “MLB‘s always had tons of ads get over it” okay but they didn’t have ads on uniforms, which is the present subject. “There are bigger problems in the world” true and I’m not going to fix those either. However I can and will still complain.

I guess they have data that shows naming your ballpark something that all the fans hate or putting patches and logos that all the fans hate all over stuff is effective, but I thought FTX was a uniform company before they were revealed as this months biggest crypto scam My conspiracy theory is that marketing itself is a huge scam and no one knows what works, successful marketing is as predictable and repeatable as making a viral meme and all the marketing companies are juking the stats

We have several huge sponsors paying us untold amounts of money and I still could not tell you what they do or why they think it's a value-add to have this sort of advertisement in the park.

It's the loving colgate thing, there's an old saw about how Colgate was far and away the number one toothpaste brand in America, and so they said, hell, we don't need to advertise and they lowered their ad budget and lost market share. That is imprinted on the brain of every c-suite exec in America.

Haven't even paid for it the last 3(?) years. Penisaurus Sex posted:Don’t recommend it if you can avoid it though, those 1:45AM endings get old very fast. And there's the BUT. I only have a 2 hour difference, but 7:00 west coast games still end too late for me and I find out how things turned out in the morning a lot of the time.

It’s nonstop guesswork done by scumbags who bemoan increasing privacy laws because it prevents them from being able to turn everything you do in life into a potential sales conversion. It’s easily the most amoral field I’ve ever worked in and I hate every minute of it. Somewhere right now there’s probably a marketing bro trying to think up ways to put ads over the faces of fans in the stands.

But it's also kind of funny that corporations are dumping trillions of dollars to subsidize sports, TV, movies, and all kinds of entertainment that would be unsustainable without the American economy pouring cash into them (as the streaming platforms are currently finding out)

The Nike swoosh doesn't really bother me because it's the logo of the company making the jersey, that has kinda always been a thing on sports equipment.
