In terms of design, NBA teams tinker with their templates to maximize marketability.

There are two ways to make profit: first is to add ads like in Europe and second is to make jersey look great and make people to buy it. I don't have a clue which is better, but in the future I am sure the jersey will have the ability to have a running flash ads and changing color. For example when Warriors will win a title in 2045, their jersey automatically will write CHAMPIONS!!! Of course it is science fiction - the Warriors will never win a title...

There will definitely be changes. Even history rich teams aren't above it. The Celtics, who would never touch their home and road jerseys, have no problems with pandering via alternate jersey. Same with the Lakers and their white Jersey.

Also little differences are unavoidable, via textures, slight color alterations etc.


As for ads, that's the one thing in American sport that I never feel guilty saying that we are superior in. I just don't get how the rest of the world stands them.

Well, the NBA is a global brand. And with people buying lots of jerseys which cost nearly a month's salary of what other people make in other countries, I doubt it would be a long time before there would be a need for sponsors.

As for US sports in general, MLS teams has ads bigger than their logos/ monickers printed on their jerseys as well as the Phoenix mercury with euroleague inspired jerseys.

So true. Even worse is when a team becomes known by the name of the sponsor.

I hope the NBA never puts ads on their jerseys, personally I think the ads make the jerseys look tacky. Yah the WNBA's Mercury implemented it but they really needed the revenue.

The Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade rounds out the Top 5.

Shaquille O'Neal makes his way back into the Top 10 for the first time since June 2008 at the No. 9 spot, while Kevin Durant re-emerges on the list for the first time since January 2008. Denver Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony also moved up the list from No. 15 to No. 11.
