Jay-Z - He's Big and He's Ours

Email
PrintIn remarks by Nets officials, he is officially referred to as "cultural icon" rather than minority shareholder, reportedly part of an agreement between he and the team. His name is printed in all caps, as in "JAY-Z".
The face of the team may be Deron Williams, but the face of the franchise and its new home is Shawn Carter. Brett Yormark said so back in September, "Jay-Z is truly the face of the Barclays Center and of the Brooklyn Nets."
As Brooklyn gets closer --business operations move next month and new team colors and logos will be introduced soon as well-- team officials report that the Brooklyn-born Jay-Z is more involved with the team.
He's serving as a consultant on the colors and logos; as well as new uniforms, due in the summer; interior spaces -- including the half million dollar "event level" suites at Barclays Center; and the ad campaign for the transition from New Jersey to Brooklyn.
Jay-Z of course is a bit busy nowadays, with the arrival of his daughter Blue Ivy Carter. If you needed any reinforcement of his marketing power, look no further than the covers of the Post and Daily News as well as the Empire State Building. He's after all in an Empire State of Mind. Read more on what he's doing after the break...
"Jay's very involved, which is terrific," the Nets CEO. "Obviously, he's a trendsetter and such a talented individual. We and myself in particular collaborate with Jay very often. He's doing some things with the building as far as premium spaces, working with our architect and our design firm. He's also working with us on our jerseys, the colors, just directionally how we want to present the brand when we get to Brooklyn.
"So he's very involved, takes it very seriously and obviously coming from Brooklyn, he sees this as a huge moment and a bit of a part of his legacy. So, I'm really happy to have him on board and like I said, we work very closely together."
"Jay-Z is one of the owners of the Nets. We've been working very closely with him on all the club spaces which is really fun."
Rap mogul Jay-Z — co-founder of the hip clothing line Rocawear — is working with Nets brass and Adidas to design uniforms for the team when it moves into the under-construction Barclays Center in Brooklyn next year, Nets officials told the Post. No matter what, the logo will feature Brooklyn prominently because the club wants to tap into the borough’s world-popular brand name, officials said.
“Brooklyn will be involved in whatever we do,” said Fred Mangione, chief marketing officer for the Nets and Barclays Center.
"We have a brand, the arena, for housing great talent. And we have a brand, the Brooklyn Nets, and we need to make them a phenomenon in 2012," Translation president and Jay-Z partner Steve Stoute told Advertising Age. "Our job is to remove all doubt that what's coming to Brooklyn is going to make Brooklyn one of the finest entertainment capitals in the country."
"JAY-Z is truly the face of the Barclays Center and of the Brooklyn Nets," Brett Yormark said. "There's no better alignment than to have a world-class venue and team with a world-class entertainer."
------------
Billy King said back in April that Jay-Z is indeed involved, unlike other minority celebrity owners, Usher in Cleveland and Nelly in Charlotte.
"To see (Jay-Z) give a pitch on Brooklyn, and the passion about going to Brooklyn – you see it on tape, you see it on TV. To see him in a room with Carmelo, and making it, you see the passion there," King told Stefan Bondy. "And if he’s as passionate about Brooklyn, I just can’t imagine what the other people that live there are going to be like when we get there. And to see him as involved and as passionate about the Nets, to me, it’s a real positive. It’s not just something that he’s just using, or investing in. It’s something that he’s going to be involved in even more when we get – next season, I think, even further, we go to Brooklyn."

he goes to meet with free agents, went to meet with carmelo to share the vision….i see him in newark at home games…..he is not a figurehead….you could tell he’s passionate about the move….and i have no doubt our logo and uniforms will be dope because he’s involved…..nothing says more about bball and bball style than the hiphop culture!

Whether its on the floor or Marketing the Nets could reach the same level of popularity
With or with out Jay. This is basketball, a Star player is worth more than a star Owner… See Bobcats
Will Jay-Z make the team popular if the Nets put a putrid product on the court? No. However, will he cause the Nets’ brand to draw more attention than it would have otherwise? Undoubtedly.
The people of Brooklyn — the people of this country, for that matter — need a face that they can connect the team to. Every good and popular franchise has at least one. When people think of the Nets, they will think of Jay-Z. With his name, comes a boatload of attention that the franchise wouldn’t otherwise have.
Can he hold the Nets’ brand up by himself? No. But can he dramatically bolster it after it’s propped up? Jay-Z laugh Oh yeah.
I still disagree
I think what your saying works for a team like the Pistons that won the chip. A team with no real star. But if the Nets nab Howard and we win championships there is no need for Jay-Z. “dramatically bolster” is what I disagree with
That's not true
who else can say his team can go 0-82 and he’ll look at you like its all gravy? And how much % of this team does he own?

Say you what you want about the Nets
but they are a very smart franchise, it can’t really be denied. Convincing one of the most influential and important people in the world to work on your side and he’s from BK is genius. I knew from the moment he signed on to buy a stake in the Nets, they made a very smart business decision,

I don't even like Lil Wayne that much but you can make a argument that Lil Wayne is more important to the world than Jay
Because Wayne has The attention of the Youth, he is easily the biggest influence in the HipHop community. His music shape more lives NOW than Jay-Z does l. And I don’t view Lil Wayne as one of the more important people in the World. I get it he’s a Legend, he’s a business man, had a good run with clothing and has his hands in almost every. I also understand what he means to NY. But this is basketball if the team isn’t winning Jay is irrelevant
agreed with everything you said
except you not liking wayne much
but Jayz is yesterday’s news to the new generation

Jay-Z failed as president of DefJam
Lil Wayne is easily more important RIGHTNOW to HIpHop than JZ. Drake and Nikki are products of Wayne. Everything Wayne touches is gold. Name a artist Jay Made a star? Other than Rhi Rhi Damn sure wasn’t Kanye. Kanye was Dame dash artist. Lil wayne influences kids and even superstars. Jay-Z better rapper but his influence in the game isn’t what it was when the Black album was out

He can publish what he want when he want. And true hip-hop heads fall into the impoverished demographic who would just download the music and pocket the 12-15 bucks.
85% of people who buy hip-hop music are caucasian. So CEO’s are going to target them when they force these bogus singles. People like B.o.B., Wiz, and whoever else selling out making music to make money and dont have full creative freedom.

better that the bench is horrible than the starters
you can’t constantly start every game down by double digits and expect to compete.
Williams, Brooks, Stevenson, Humphries, Okur needs to be the starting lineup.

not for main jerseys, unfortunately
They’re great, and excellent for an alternate, but you don’t relocate a franchise and hit the marketing ground running with a full home/away uni from 30 years ago. They’re building a new identity in Brooklyn, not merely reinstating an old franchise, and I expect that probably means an all-new reboot with some hearkening back to the old threads. And that’s fine with me, as long as we keep those old ones as alternates.

One of the long-term realities for the Hornets is the fact that their trades and signings have created a great situation for them next summer. The team would like to have a new owner in place by then, and that new owner would be inheriting a team with only $35 million in committed salaries for 2012-13. That means the Hornets will be able to be major players in free agency, and could very well target New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams as their next All-Star floor leader.
that is just so dumb

The funny thing is that the article...

No harm…No foul.
lol makes a ton of sense
He is going to take a paycut to play in NEW ORLEANS, for a team that another dominant PG JUST DEMANDED A TRADE FROM.
Hahahaha
The ONLY basis for this article is that the Hornets would like to someone to fill the space they CP3 left. That is not going to happen.

was the blue Empire State Building
related to Jay-Z or was it just a coincidence that he pointed out as a good omen or whatever?
"A little boy went out to play. When he opened his door, he saw the world. As he passed through the doorway, he caused a reflection. Evil was born. Evil was born, and followed the boy."
Could be, i dunno honestly
I read over the weekend they were using the blue lights for the giants and assumed it was for them still. but it could be Jayz i guess
It was red/white/blue in 2008
but this time sounds like all-blue
It’s big, and it’s turning blue in honor of the New York Giants.
The Empire State Building will glow majestic blue this weekend to cheer the hometown team as it heads into the NFC wild card game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon.
Big Blue tight end Jake Ballard with flip the switch on the world-famous icon at a 4:30 p.m. ceremony Friday.
The blue tower lights will shine from sunset to 2 a.m. all weekend, including Sunday night, a spokeswoman said.
It was blue red and white before

you would hope for that, wouldn't you? Something quite different
and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that Brooklyn brownstone element that’s been incorporated into the arena design also part of the uniform design.

I'd be happy with an updated design

Here was the sometimes testy exchange:
Reporter: The Jazz said they traded you because they didn’t want to go through same thing Denver did – were they accurate?
Williams: "I’m going to answer every question you have about tonight’s game. Or Utah’s game. Other than that, I’m not in there – I’m not Carmelo Anthony, I’m not the Denver Nuggets, I’m not Chris Paul, I’m not the New Orleans Hornets. I’m not Dwight Howard, I’m not the Orlando Magic. I’m not the Utah Jazz anymore either. I’m the New Jersey Nets, the last time I checked."
Reporter: Let me phrase it this way then. …
Williams: "You can phrase it anyway you want, you’re going to get the same answer."
Reporter: No, this is a chance to defend yourself. …
Williams: "I’m not defending myself. Nobody’s coming at me."
Reporter: But people sometimes put you in that class. …
Williams: "Look, man. Look. Look. You’re not understanding, I’m not going to talk about it. No matter how you phrase it, no matter how you put it.
Reporter: I just wanted to ask you if you thought it’s unfair. …
Williams: "I got traded. It’s part of the business."
Reporter: But you never asked, so it’s unfair that people lump you in. …

http://www.hoopsworld.com/salary-cap-chat-with-larry-coon-11112
The Nets seem to be the frontrunners, and are confident that they can resurrect a deal after the All-Star game (in Orlando this year, so the team wants to keep Dwight around for that) and when Lopez is ready to play.
If a Nets deal doesn’t work out (or if a better offer presents itself), you’d have to think the Lakers are still the dark horse to get him — especially if Bynum continues the way he’s been playing. I don’t think there’s any way they offer both Bynum and Gasol, and they may not even agree to be a salary dumping ground for the Magic. But there’s also been reluctance on the part of the Magic to let another franchise center go to LA (after Shaq in ’96).
But unless they get a firm commitment from Dwight to either extend or re-sign, they pretty much HAVE to trade him, or else they lose him to a team like Dallas, NU, or someone else who clears the necessary cap room.
NU = NJ - I'm assuming!
Too many cooincidents of dissing us !!!
Guess what …. it ain’t NJ no more, it is ALL NEW Brooklyn !!!

Isn’t your new store where Bagel Boys is? Are you buying the location ? I always went to the location across the street from the train tracks. Where are the other 2 locations?
My parents still live in Palisades so I come up there sometimes. I love the wings at sutters.
im where bagel boys used to be........in the same mall where sutters is
we ripped that craphole out, gutted it and made it all brand new……….the one location is the original bageltrain in suffern, by the tracks……and my other is in montvale nj.
