Illawarra Hawks announce partnership with SLAM
Heard SEM wanted $400k for jersey sponsors

Absolutely you'd be trying to leverage a multi year deal if you can. The idea of brands leaving after Ball goes home isn't sustainable and their involvement with America should be more extensive with NBAxNBL games next season with their sponsorship on the jerseys


@Fryz interesting figures. The problem is what happens post-Ball when bridges are burnt with the older long-term sponsors in such a small market.

Oh yeah there's money involved. Sponsorship prices have tripled for this season. My mate used to be a player sponsor for $12,000 for the season, seats down the front. When he went back this season it was $30k for a player sponsor, over $120k for a jersey sponsor. Can't see the hawks handing out that for retweets.

Not sure if this topic has already been covered, but I have just seen the sequel to the original Uncle Drew Pepsi commercial.
This time it is Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love
I think the sequel is better than the original. Love the reaction of the crowd & players, especially the guy that gets dunked on.
