Jimmy Butler non-Nike Headband (alien.top)

Making this post because Jimmy Butler is going to be fined this week by the NBA. He is wearing an Alo headband (yoga brand that sponsors him, also this is the first time) tonight against the Bulls, not a Nike headband.

The NBA will fine him and/or clarify the rules surrounding accessories.

Interesting marketing/sponsorship tidbit, we'll see how it develops.

This is the first game where I’ve seen the logo, but I do believe that he’s been wearing it since the beginning of the season since the overall shape of the headband looked a bit off from what the Nike headbands usually look like. Could’ve been inside out or the logo just facing a different way that it hasn’t been seen on camera yet

Do you not go to the gym? Its basically what women who think gymshark is too extreme for them wear

If they fine him the brand will probably get much more attention anyway, and be happy to cover the cost. Nothing like NBA drama as free advertising.
