A’s Announce Las Vegas Jersey Patch Sponsorship

By Anthony Franco | March 7, 2025 at 11:09pm CDT

The A’s announced on Friday evening that they’ve reached a three-year advertising partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). As part of the agreement, they’ll have “Las Vegas” jersey patches on their uniform sleeves during their three seasons in Sacramento. The A’s will wear a Sacramento patch on the opposite arm for at least the 2025 season.

“For the Athletics, this partnership is more than just a jersey patch—it’s the beginning of the transition to our new home,” A’s owner John Fisher said in a press release. “This is a chance to wear our hearts on our sleeves for the next three years before bringing the vibrant spirit of our new home front and center across our uniform.”

Steve Hill, the head of the LVCVA, tells Evan Drellich of The Athletic that the deal will pay the A’s $8.25MM over the next three seasons: $2.5MM this season, $2.75MM next year, and $3MM in 2028. Hill acknowledged that it’s rare for a team to don an advertisement for a city in which they’re not currently playing.

“Frankly, one of the reasons that something like this hasn’t been done, at least for a team that’s moving, is that they’re still in the city they’re moving from,” Hill told Drellich. “We couldn’t have done this with the Raiders (who moved directly from Oakland to Las Vegas in 2020), for example, because it would have just been rude. They’re in the city they’re moving from, and that’s kind of in your face, just not appropriate. But because (the A’s are) moving to Sacramento for three years before coming here, it opened up that possibility of doing that.”

The A’s plan to break ground on their 33,000-seat stadium in Las Vegas within the next few months. The team released their latest set of renderings for that facility on Thursday (link via Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal). Newly-hired club president Marc Badain told Drellich on Thursday that he has “no doubts on that at all” when asked if the ballpark will be ready in time for the 2028 season.

    “This is a chance to wear our hearts on our sleeves for the next three years…”

    *eyeroll*

    It would be refreshing if they just came out and said, “This is an opportunity to make easy frickin’ money and we’d be stupid not to do it.” That would be way better than this fake sentimentality.

      To every bay-area Oakland A’s fan: “This is a chance to mockingly wear our disingenuous, faithless hearts on our sleeves for the next three years.”

      And to every Sacramento/NorCal A’s fan: “This is a chance to show you how little actual regard we have for you and the entire area, while we’re playing here over the next 3 long years.”

    Herbalife paid the LA Galaxy (MLS) 7M in 2022 to put their logo in the chest of the Galaxy jersey. MLB teams probably will earn more since Rakuten paid 20M abyear for their tiny logo patch in Golden State Jersey

      The Athletic said that the Yankees make 25mm a year off theirs, the highest number in the league.

      A’s 2.75/mm a year is so low that it almost wasn’t allowed by the MLB central communications office, who must approve every jersey patch sponsorship.

    They don’t have a building permit for a stadium, but they have a patch on their uniform. Kaval quits and Fisher hires the only person in the world that is more of a scum than Kaval.

    Not good news. The weight from the jersey patches on their uniform sleeves will change the tilt angle of the batting stance. This will lead to more popups.

      The pitchers are really going to have to adjust. I expect their walk rate to skyrocket as they lose their control and command, but at least they have spring training to work things out.

    This team is going to have a very tough time playing in that 100 degree Sacramento heat every Summer for 3 years.
    It gets very hot and and extremely uncomfortable in the summer in Sacramento.

    I remember getting off a plane one Summer there
    and just getting floored by a huge wave of heat as I exited the terminal
    for the rental car lots.

    Lots of luck playing there for 3 years.
    Better have some oxygen tents set up for the players.

    Smarter move would have been to just share the Giants home ballpark on San Francisco Bay just a 20 minute drive or BART ride
    from their old Coliseum home.

    But, Fisher, Manfred and MLB did not want to have the A’s share the Giants home field that. because the A’s would draw 25,000-35,000 fans there a night and EXPOSE THE FRAUD AND LIES THAT Selig,,Manfred and Fisher have been perpetrating on Bay Area baseball fans for decades.

    That brutal Sacramento heat It is going to wilt the A;s and visitors in the dog days of summer like it used
    to wilt those Texas teams.

      I think playoff games if there are any should be in SF. I also think they should play a couple weekend series against prime opponents a year in SF, and move “Big League Weekend” at LV Aviators park to an April weekend series.

      Make yourself a little more money and who wants to watch 81 games in Sac anyways?

      I get it. But the Rangers did it in Arlington until recently and at high humidity. I’m from a place where the 100+ outdoor game is just how it is. If no one has experienced a KC of STL July-August. They’re in for a real fun time.

        SoCalbball- or anywhere in Texas or the much of thr Midwest. KC gets those same temps with 80% humidity. St Louis is even more humid but subtracts a few degrees. I was in the old turf at Busch Stsdium one day when it was 130° on the surface.
