All D-I teams will be permitted up to 2 additional commercial logos on their uniforms and 1 additional commercial logo on equipment during the preseason + regular season, with an additional logo for conference championships. Patches will be limited to a maximum of 4 square... https://t.co/7hEcNZYA5A— Pete Nakos (@PeteNakos) January 23, 2026
Welp, as if we weren't all in with our corporate overlords before, we certainly are now.
Maybe we can leverage the DC campus and work something out with Amazon, but watch it be something like Carillion.

Someone dig up those Wild Turkey and Smithfield concept uniforms.
But seriously, this will be a way to gauge where VT football stands. If we have a nationally recognized sponsor or a local one. I already judge our basketball program based on the facts that our courtside banner ads are small time companies and those at SMU were nationally recognized brands
El Rods or Kroger lmao
You all know what it will really be for VT ...
The Spurtle!
Watch ESPN put logos on all the SEC teams and FOX on all the B1G teams.
I was just saying the only thing my college football viewing experience was missing was additional ads
Hardee's time to shine!
Legit laughed at this one... Would be a very VT thing
Oh my gosh I'd forgotten about Gumby's. Memories unlocked.
So many Gumby Dammit's ordered on a Friday night
I've thought way too much about this and decided that Gumby's is the perfect corporate sponsor
It was huge in the 90s and early 2000s and undefeated on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. We're meant for each other
We'd all see what magical games we can play.
Hardee's logo or we riot need some of them coupons!
Everybody's a 5 star with a famous star on their jersey!
That would be elite level like world cup teams getting a star under or on their national team logo but it's a Hardee's star with the smile and all
UMD is getting an Old Bay sponsorship, right?
Ads on jerseys have been a thing for years.
Been going on at every bowl game since the 2000's.
Give me the 2005 conference alignment. That would fix >95% of all the issues in the sport right now. I don't care about jerseys having logos on them.
Team most likely to have OnlyFans ads?
ASU?
IYKYK
I can't think of a better answer for this but Oral Roberts might clean up on grinder
So are these team spots or for individual player sponsors?
the door is now wide open. if I'm a star player I sue for rev share on any brand deals that get put on a jersey I wear.
Revenue Share is a fixed number per school so if they give it to a star they take it from a bunch of others. NIL is another matter.
not exactly what I meant. Once one player wins then all players win.
You can't do wild turkey cause people will complain it promotes drinking even though ever other add is for boner pills and/or beer
Oh that's easy, just advertise Wild Turkey 0.0. and if that doesn't exist, make it exist.
Lol I'm saying create it as a niche product just for the purpose of being able to advertise, kind of like Heineken 0.0.
Fuck all I want to drink a 0% alcohol whiskey.
Ah yes, the Formula 1 advertising strategy.
Dont forget about the approximately 2 million online betting site!
Smithfield and Butterball aren't sponsoring the same team. Wild Turkey would be awesome but also unlikely.
Just sell to the highest bidder. I don't really care who is the sponsor (with reason) as long as VT gets good compensation.
I also see the benefits of cross-branding here. Carillion clinic, VT College of Engineering, or some other University-affliated brand could create alternate revenues that are not direct paid sponsorship dollars.
nah, I would go for the Onlyfans sponsorship. Recruits would be lining up for the.. uh.. free swag.
You can go to student health to take care of free swag with antibiotics
To be completely fair, nothing will provide a real honest assessment of NIL value than someone's OF page. Pretty sure some of the best NIL-generating NCAA athletes are doing well via their OF revenue.
OK... I volunteer...
I will, with reasonable compensation, hit the road for VT athletics... from SWVA to NOVA to Richmond to the 757 and everywhere in between to figure out the best sponsors for VT athletics!
Spurtle.
Sneak peak of the uniforms this season!
I got a different sneak peak...
We're going to put more than two on the jersey and dare the NCAA to do anything about it.
Liberty University about to be rolling in that coveted CuckChairs.com sponsorship dough.
Assuming nsfw?
