NFT: MLB to have ads on helmets for the playoffs

The sponsorship deal between MLB and Strauss runs through 2027 and the logo will be seen on helmets in all playoff games as well as all regular-season MLB games in Europe. Strauss will also have ads on all Minor League Baseball helmets during regular-season and postseason games through 2027.



Link - ( New Window )
Hopefully the Yanks don’t have LifeVac on the helmet.

but man do I miss watching sports when I was I was a kid. So much more pure and enjoyable.

No relentless ads, you could watch games on TV, no overexposure, no constant talk of sports betting, no twitter.

Get off my lawn.
I hate it

I understand the financial side of it but when does it become too much?

I hope the NFL continues to stay away from it - the NBA is the worst when it comes to ads IMO
To add on to what you saying......

Watching old VCR tapes of Giants games in the 80's and there is no mention anywhere of dot.com, internet or generation shaming! LOL.

Just Madden & Summerall or Brookshire and Summerall doing a masterful job breaking down the games.

Sigh.
I’d prefer fully sponsored stadiums and jerseys

if it meant no breaks. It’s a primary reason why Soccer is so successful IMO.

and no launch angle, exit velocity, WAR, BABIP, and myriad mindless stats. Good lord, it's overkill.

Get off my lawn too, while you're at it.
While I agree this is stupid...

If you haven't had a chance, check out some of the old footage from MLB games in the 40's and 50's - the OF walls are FULL of ads

Does anyone have a problem with ads on the fences?

Uniforms is a different story. Only a matter of time until we see crap like this:

I'll be 60 in December and the the likes of Sy'56, Falato, Skinner, Tice, et al make the sport far, far more enjoyable to follow, and I'd add, it keeps the low times at least a little interesting. I know more about the other 31 teams today than we ever really knew about NYG in 'the day'.

Back when there was no TV money and the stands were never full. And I don't think there were ads on the walls at Yankee Stadium.

I think the teams and leagues would look at you blankly and say "What is this 'too much' of which you speak?"

When the players stop asking for 100s of millions of dollars.
Otherwise, we'll see more of these.
Free agency, which was mostly celebrated when finally realized,  
GeofromNJ : 9/13/2024 11:07 pm : link
has resulted in astronomical salaries, hence the need for more revenue. Naturally there's also greed on the part of the owners, but free agency is the primary impetus. Mantle was paid $100,000 in 1963. In today's dollars, that's a little over a $1M. How much would Mantle be paid if he were playing today under free agency? Judge is paid $40M per year.
