Colorado Rockies: Ads we could see on a Rockies uniform in 2020

As Major League owners and players continue to bicker over various proposals to start the 2020 season, there was one aspect in the latest proposal that was very curious.

As owner Roger Dorn did in the deadpanned sequel to “Major League,” in order to raise team revenue, advertisements such as “Zippo’s Bail Bondsmen” were plastered throughout the ballpark. In the latest proposal, owners are asking for the right to sell sponsorships on team’s uniforms, much like the NBA, where a team can fetch between $5 and $20 million a year for a small advertisement on a jersey.

So who could the Colorado Rockies get to sponsor their uniforms if the players agree to this proposal? Here are a few realistic and a couple of outrageous ideas of Colorado-based companies that find themselves on a Rockies’ uniform.

The Serious

The Denver Nuggets are already getting a pretty penny from Western Union, so why not the Rockies? In 2017, the Nuggets and Western Union signed a three-year sponsorship deal and the logo blends in well with the Nuggets uniforms. I’m not sure it would go well with purple pinstripes, but who knows.

RE/MAX, the Denver-based real estate company, is already has a well-known logo with their hot-air balloon. Even though the color schemes don’t match, it could work.

Of course there are plenty of breweries throughout the state of Colorado that would love the national exposure. There is Odell, Avery, Wynkoop, Breckenridge, Left Hand, and Rock Bottom, just to name a handful.

This isn’t serious, but who wouldn’t love to see Cartman and the boys of South Park dawning purple? South Park would be way too controversial, but maybe Comedy Central could be a good compromise.
