What should the advertising patch be on Raptors jerseys?

NBA jerseys are constantly undergoing change and as we found out a few weeks ago, the NBA logo patch that is usually on the left hand side of jerseys has been moved to the back, directly above the player names.

That space will be blank in 2014-15 but will in future seasons have corporate ads placed on them for all teams.

Jersey ads were something that had been rumoured to be coming to pro sports in North America beyond practice jerseys for quite some time and as long as they don't overtake the uniforms like we see in Europe with soccer jerseys and hockey jerseys then I don't think they will not look at all that bad.

The obvious for a team like the Raptors would probably a BMO or Real Sports Bar and Grill logo but what are some logos that no one has touched one that could go in that space?

OVO- Drake's record label? Why not since the man is the global ambassador of the club. Maybe a lint roller on an alternate jersey in the future is something the team could think about.

Tim Leiweke's face-You never know, this could happen just so he reminds us of who put the wheels in motion for the changes to the franchise.

Toronto Transit Commission-The TTC has been around in the city of Toronto for generations but the ad patch will only be seen live at games by fans in the 4th quarter if they take decide to take the TTC to get down to the ACC.

Pizza Pizza-The pizza franchise has concession stands all over the ACC, free pizza if the Raps score 100 points or more in a game and win as well as Jumbotron ads, landing a spot on the jerseys themselves would be the final frontier for them with the Raps. (Aside from buying the team and renaming them the Toronto 967-11-11's).


Primo Foods-Never forget about Andrea! *Hits publish button, shoots laptop at basket, laptop hits back rim and explodes into a million pieces*

Do you think any one of these Toronto companies (Yes, I'm calling Leiweke's face a company) has a shot at ending up on a future Raptors jersey?
