Balloon guy 158 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 That's Gaff tapeThey were trying a new form of subliminal advertisement, but I told them it wouldn't work they need to put their name out there, not just their product. Link to post Share on other sites
scram 1 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I am seriously thinking that in 10 more years, we will look back on this time and remember it as that time when people watched poker on TV. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 They weren't allowing the .com on any piece of clothing..... I think. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 1 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 They weren't allowing the .com on any piece of clothing..... I think.Usually to cover that up they have a little sticker they toss over it that says .net. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Usually to cover that up they have a little sticker they toss over it that says .net.They have been covering up hats for a looong time. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 1 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 They have been covering up hats for a looong time.Depends on the show and who is the sponsor.Some of the poker shows I have seen on Fox Sports that are sponsored by Full Tilt will just take the FTP.com hats and have them put the .net sticker on them.

El Guapo 10 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Its not just sponsors, Dan Harringtons Bosox hats have been covered up by the WPT, probably because the travel channeling was worrying about licensing fees from the MLB, obv not a prob on ESPN. Link to post Share on other sites
scram 1 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 The .com/.net thing has to do with TV rules regarding advertising gambling websites.The .net variants are usually the "playmoney only" versions, so they're permitted. Link to post Share on other sites

showstopper24 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 i think some shows can't show sponsors its why they fuzz out brand names on t shirts on mtv sometimesthen again his shirt is sort of an adAt the 2006 WSOP almost every online player had those because they all said things like pokerstars.com or fulltiltpoker.com, however .com is a gambling site so those needed to be taped. If they said pokerstars.net or fulltiltpoker.net, it would have been fine. At the WPT, they have those because they don't allow sponsorships (or something like that).
