Advertisers on this jersey space cannot represent political groups, gambling (betting) companies, alcohol, or competitors of a number of official partners including: ESPN, ABC, Turner (media), Nike (official equipment supplier since 2017-18), Tissot (official watchmaker) or Wilson (official ball supplier).
