Change of shirt sponsor for the Blazers | NBA

Next season, the Blazers will change jersey sponsors, the franchise announced. The Biofreeze brand will give way to StormX, a Seattle-based cryptocurrency company.

The Oregon franchise and StormX have signed a deal for the next five seasons. And this is a second important step, in the NBA, for the world of cryptocurrency since this first jersey sponsor comes in addition to the change of the name of the Heat room, the FTX Arena.

« We are very excited to have the patch of a revolutionary company on our jerseys », said franchise president Chris McGowan. « We are honored to be the first cryptocurrency company to sponsor an NBA team », adds Simon Yu, co-founder of StormX.

Fresh, groundbreaking, revolutionary.
