Remember when Tom Ricketts said way back on Monday that the Cubs needed more revenue in order to increase payroll beyond current levels? Maybe he was being more coy than foolish, as Paul Lukas of Uni Watch points out that the team’s official photos signal the addition of a jersey ad in the near future. While it could simply be yet another in a litany of poor choices by Nike and Fanatics, this is probably inevitable.
As you can see in the featured image above, the jerseys don’t all have the Walking Bear logo on the left sleeve as has been the case in the future.
