The change of College Football Forever!
50 years ago the college football players used to have jerseys had nothing besides a number a 1 color. Throughout the years, teams started to grow some style, 2-3 colors jersey and some even had the logo from a top sports designer. Adidas, Nike, Jordan, all the top known teams got the big logos on the front of their jerseys.
The logos are cool, but it is becoming a newer generation of how the jerseys look. And now… it has become even crazier. Within the last week, 2 major college football teams are receiving sponsorship patches to be put on their jersey for additional pay to the program. Notre Dame is receiving a SoFi patch on their jerseys for the upcoming year, receiving $18 Million Dollars per year for the next 6 years while Ohio State is receiving $17 Million Dollars per year with JP Morgan Chase.
Now I know this is how the future will hold with college football. Teams all around the country will have patches on their jersey. Organizations will be doing these patches instead of paying for a bowl game. "Chic Fil A" Patch, "Mcdonalds" Patch, "Pepsi" Patch. As of yet, my go to team, the "Michigan Wolverines" do not have a patch yet, so it feels good we are not like the other teams, but I know it is going to happen soon.
Personally, I think this will ruin the jerseys, because if this happens with one patch, what will stop a team to receive 10 patches all over their jersey to receive more money to the program? It will start looking lame and us fans will talk about the good ole days where the jerseys had 2 colors and a Nike logo in the top center. This have changed, and after deals like this happening, much more will come from it.
