Thankfully the National Football League still has some sense left in them.
“It’s not something that’s actively being considered in the NFL,”, Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL told the Detroit Free Press yesterday during a visit to Detroit Lions training camp.
Goodell continued, “We like the look that we have on the field. We have a very limited number of partners on our field in general, much less on the uniform, and we think that’s right for the NFL.”
The comment comes just a few weeks after the National Basketball Association hinted that teams would be allowed to sport small advertiser patches on their jerseys starting in 2013-14.

Sunday, August 5, 2012 at 14:45David Stern, are you taking notice of this comment from your NFL colleague???? Think about it ("We like the look we have on the field") and get rid of the crazy idea of sponsors on NBA uniforms.
