Jay-Z Brooklyn Nets, With Arena, Rapper Rewrites Celebrity Investors’ Playbook

[Rev]

i hope the cats who go to the end of earth defending Jay read & comprehend that

He should've just told Stern that his man stabbed Un and made him take the blame.

 

[Art Barr]

so he is behind that huff ass logo.

how do you launch a team moving to a new locale with that huff ass redesign.

i would have veto'd that shyt immediately.

shyt look like some bullshyt from the before the printing press era. jay made on carbon paper. in a boardroom meeting with a chalk board instead of a power point projector screen.

Hov is the greatest in and outta the booth

Mr. Ratner was wary. He often says he overcame his concerns about Mr. Carter’s more offensive lyrics — celebrating gangster culture and denigrating women — only after learning there were cleaned-up “radio versions” of the songs, too.

this fakkit was summarizing Hov accomplishments and intelligence to just a few verses, but yet was willing to look for celebrities, including movie stars, whose movie roles wouldn't be used as a measuring tool of ability and value

 

[Carlos Huerta]

Damn, so how much did he invest in the team then? Is he even getting any ROI at that rate with the team not being that profitable?

did you not read the article? Dude is getting mad ROI -- skybox, liquor, Rocawear, and a bunch of concerts just to set this shyt off >> $1MM in just the first season alone.

I think the new Brooklyn gear looks good

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

According to this article $1M.


Why would y'all expect him to put up more??? He gets to act like an owner without putting up that extra capital. That's def a



:dead: @ Stern striking the fear of God in Hova

yeah because movie stars, like rappers, usually live that life. Get off it.

 

[iamduval]

he'll profit way more than he invested. rocawear logo is all over the arena

oh yeah, rappers are living that life they talk about, unlike other entertainers. So the FBI will be knocking down Rick Ross door soon

Jay-Z actually did hustle. Did you know that?

He's seeing a return regardless just off of what his relationship with the team is. a 40/40 club, a Rocawear store, 4 shows at the arena (which i'm sure will be sold out) they are basically investing in his brands.

So Hov did that, while being a rapper?

Thus Ross is on the FBI most wanted list

dawg,....the white sox had better looking logo's in the black sox era, close to one hundred years, ago.

for starters, the font is nick junior at best.

shyt is huff.

a wannabe yankees alternative color scheme with black substituted for navy.

if you check the nets history. they had tons of logos and ill fonts, with jersey designs. they could have used with the black and white.

that black and white jersey is like a wnba practice warmup jersey.

shyt is wack as fukk.....

in their beginnings, the nets have argueably the best jersey designs in the history of the nb/aba.

this mother fukker goes and approves some ol basic base-ketball wnba bullshyt.

might as well buy a chicago sky jersey if you rocking that huff garbage trash ass nets jersey.

shyt is awful!!

ar the very least, all you had to simply do.

was take the dr j nets jersey and make it black and white.
with material upgrades,...and streamline it a tadbit for aesthetics.

shyt is not rocket science.

the heat have better black and white jerseys as an alternative.

just that alone shows the design is trash.

fukk is wrong with you? The owner of the Nets was leery of working with him because of his lifestyle and criminal history. You're the one trying to draw parallels between Jay-Z and actors as if a business owner wouldn't wanna work with Denzel because he played a shady cop in a movie.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

He only put 1 million into the team, they did not need his money just his to try to help sell the team and bring players there

man i was gonna make a thread about this.

yall know that your average person that doesnt follow sports like we do, thinks that jay is THE owner of the nets on some jerry jones type chit?
