30Q: Will the Kings Land a Jersey Sponsor?

Print30Q asks the important questions about the Kings all through September.
The NBA is now allowing teams to sell ad space on their practice jerseys. The Nets and Suns have found sponsors -- the Suns pulled "mid six figures" for a sponsorship of their practice jerseys and practice court. The Maloofs had previously embraced the NBA decision, and I suspect will have a sponsor soon.
But whom?
I'm bad at funny, so I'm playing it straight and going with the obvious choice.
Fast food chain Carl's Jr. has already sponsored everything from team web videos to photos of the Sacramento Kings Dance Team's tour of Iraq (seriously) to Chuck Person's job. Why not the jerseys, too? ($6 Double Bacon Western is a heckuva pregame meal, I hear. It's the real reason Greg Ostertag is trying to come back.)
More realistic options after the jump. Your hilarious suggestions in the comments.
When 110% awareness saturation isn't enough, there's the Palms practice jersey!
According to a big Bee story last week, a mess of legislators attended the Chris Webber jersey retirement on lobbyists' dimes. So why don't we just cut out the middle man and have the state government sponsor the team?
And now completely unrelated, but owing to the fact that I got a bit hopped up on multivitamins and coffee early this morning and got unhinged with the Photoshop, my interpretation of a meme that happened to coincide with a Skeets call to action.
And the reaction shot ...

Seriously!
Who cares about the franchise generating revenue?
Who cares what organizations are associated with the Kings?
Who cares about a fun opportunity to share some laughs with photoshopped suggestions?
Never forget: I am a complete idiot
The Photoshopping is cool!
My “Who Cares” was re: practice jersey sponsors. How many fans are 1) At the game an hour before to even see the jerseys, and 2) How many fans will run out and buy wood chips or paint or God knows what because of name and product placement. I’m more concerned with how well the Kings will play in 09-10.

No problem.
Hard to have a sense of humor with the direction this team has been going the last couple of years. Hoping for a better on-court product this year. Hoping, hoping, hoping…

I think Say What?'s sponsor should be Massengil...
…you know, cause they’re both douche bags.

SNL tie-in

You see, I do have a sense of humor. Misguided as it may be…
Purveyor of Bull Plop
Good to Know.
There was actually some redeeming quality in there (meaning you are less of a douche, Sir), so I’ll let Massengil-Lite be your sponsor.
Or a GPS manufacturer, given your tendency for misguidance. Lol.

The Brockman one is awesome
I’d love to see Jon’s face when someone introduces him to StR for the first time:
“Holy Sh##, they know about the pancakes? Who the F### are these people… and who the F### is ‘Mancakes’?!?”

I’ve got a couple ideas I’m working on, but if you have any more that’d be good.

In my mind
across the back of this jersey it says “Turning Losers into Winners”, or some such.

Alright two more courtesy of Exhibit G ideas

G also had a really funny idea for Spencer, so if anyone can find me a pic of Spencer in a practice jersey that would be really helpful.

Fucking advertising
Pisses me off. We’re inundated with enough ads as it is. Someone needs to hurry up and write an app that detects and blocks ads in live video. Someone smarter than me.
Photshop requests
The Diamond aand Gold Vault
Folsom Lake Toyota (extra credit if you put Cody the dog on Kenny Thomas’ jersey)
Good Feet
Or given the economic state of the franchise – Circuit City

Thought about two of those
Diamond and Gold Vault I couldn’t find a logo via Google Images.
Folsom Lake I’ll do.
Good Feet I’ll put on Casspi’s jersey.

Gotta be the shopvac
Cause the kings will suck again this year.
Do you smoke grass in space Bowie? Or do you smoke astro turf?
Another ping pong ball year for sure
But let there be some improvement or I tune out and watch football…
Another year, another chance to hope for the team !!
Like a car wreck
even if it’s bad, I can’t turn away
Do you smoke grass in space Bowie? Or do you smoke astro turf?
If Bradb were still here the choice would be obvious

For some years here in Greece,
sponsors have managed to even break in the team names. I’d hate to see someday “Sacramento-Walmart Kings”.
Great photoshop work!
That pic of Beyonce and Salmons made me crack up in class today
Thanks a lot man. Ha, i looked like an idiot.
