http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9721130/Jets-to-wear-corporate-patch-on-practice-jerseys NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Jets are taking advantage of a new NFL rule this summer that will allow them to place a corporate logo on their practice jerseys as a source of additional revenue. The rule allows teams to sell sponsorships on their practice jerseys, and the patches can be no larger than 3 1/2-by-4 1/2 inches. The patch the Jets will wear starting in training camp features the logo of Atlantic Health, a New Jersey-based health care provider that owns naming rights on the team's training facility in Florham Park, N.J. God i hope the NFL jersey dont turn into f**king soccer jerseys, this is exactly where its heading

Every single one of those corporate logos are ugly as hell. The international soccer jerseys are the best. No stupid logos.

This is a slippery slope. I really really don't want to see corporate logos on major jerseys (MLB/NFL/NBA)

its all over now. its the beggining of the end.

someday, we'll say "i remember back in the day when they didnt have any ads or sponsors on the jersies." and all the younger people will be like "wow, youre so old."
