Don't they suck?

Is this like the Oilers being the first NHL team to do jersey ads?

The worst NBA team will now have the worst jerseys.

Fitting. Although, with the Sixers being the trainwreck they are, the jerseys likely won't even fit.

Are they really the first North American team with uniform advertising, the CFL has been doing it for years.

I believe the mls does it also? But is soccer in NA really a sport?

[polak]

Major NA sport. The Big 3 + NHL.

Thought, like the Oilers, that the advertisement would be for Hoover.
