The Milwaukee Bucks are the latest team to add advertising patches to their jerseys for the upcoming 2017-18 season, according to multiple reports.
The Bucks will have Harley-Davidson patches on their jerseys. The motorcycle giant is based in Milwaukee.
So far, 12 teams have announced the addition of ad patches and more may come as we get closer to the season. While we don’t know how much every team is making off the patches, the Warriors would reportedly command $15-20 million per year.
Some teams have opted for team-color-friendly patches. Some teams have formed true two-way partnerships with their ad patches promoting a business that the team also works with off the court. And one team has even chosen to promote a charity with their ad patch.
Below is a look at all the partnerships that have been announced so far.
Detroit Pistons and Flagstar Bank.
