Paintball players with paintball jerseys look like an ad with legs.

[Athius]

I dunno about u guys but i think paintball players with paintball jerseys look like an ad with legs. Cuz' come on mainly all paintball jerseys says in very big bold letters the name of the company in every part of the jersey that is why i dont like them. I know some of them are not like that but most of them are.

Can someone tell me why the hell they do this to the jerseys? why dont they do like nike and other sport equipment companies that it only shows the logo very small but visible and not BIG BOLD LETTERS in every corner of the jersey?

I don't see a problem with it. Look at all the other extreme sports with jerseys that promote their sponsors, it makes perfect sense.

Those big sponsors logo's are seen up close on TV, they don't NEED to have large logo's showing (not to mention the "Todays game is sponsored by Nike, for all your running needs, get Nike").

Paintball players must be seen at 25-50 yards away, so they have BIG logo's that can be seen far away.

What kind of Jersey's would you like JT to sell?

Ones that say "Visit Historic Delware"?

[bryceeden]

Man, you would hate my team's custom jerseys.

[lopxtc]

Hell Im tempted to but on "This Space For Rent" logos on our jerseys ... anything to attract the sponsors ...

High price points for places that get hit less

Yeh, know what your saying about the Jerseys these days. I hate anything with huge advertising on it.

Of course it makes sense for those who *are* sponsored. Thats what attracted me to the Animal line. Their advertising is small. I just wish they'd bring back their lightning line.

WEre going with custom jersies for our team. That way we can advertise those who did actually sponsor us...

Its threads like this that annoy me so much I dont even know what to say, so I will just give a big ole, "I concur" to your reply. Thanks albino.

well its one reason I play in my automags.org jersey... Its not an overt company add... but more of heralding that im part of this community we have here.

Although I do agree... JT, DYE and the like really accentuate the advertizment quality of their gear

You sure annoy easy.

Personally, I think anyone that pays big money for ANY type of clothing that advertises some logo has a big hole in their head as well as their pockets.

Now, if they're going to GIVE me jersey covered in advertising I might consider wearing it. If they'll pay me to advertise for them by wearing their jersey, I'd wear it without question.

If you are getting sponsered by a company then it does make sense to wear their logo all over your jersey kind of like race car drivers. What kills me is people who aren't sponsered that go out and spend their own money for theses logo jerseys. This is just me but I won't buy an expensive shirt just to play paintball in and give that company free advertising at the same time.

[Crighton]

I have to agree. I hate jerseys with the huge company logos on them. Personally I'd rather see the space used for a better pattern or design vs the huge logo.

Yes, I get that a lot...however, we sport ALL dye, but its part of a sponsorship...

I'm guessing people wear these things because they:

1. Are paid to, or they were free or something, or

2. Just don't know any better.


You guys do make some funny points. I mean, if my internet connection had popup ads all over it, I'd expect my monthly fee to be subsidized.


Personally, I think the jerseys, amongst numerous other "sexy" and "pimp" fads pursued by pasty 12-year old computer nerd virgins, are simply gaudy. Trashy.





Long live splash anodizing!
