10 Memphis businesses we’d love to see become jersey sponsors for the Memphis Grizzlies next season

Graceland

Elvis Presley, perhaps the most famous person to ever reside in Memphis, is experiencing a renewed push in popularity thanks to the recent blockbuster film bearing the King’s name and featuring Tom Hanks and Austin Butler.

What better way to sustain that interest by having visibility on the Grizzlies’ jersey next season. Nearly half a million visitors visit Graceland each year, Elvis’ iconic former Memphis mansion.

This would be a great way to grow his audience and keep the King alive in the mind’s of younger generations.

ServiceMaster

The cleaning, repairing and restoring giant is anchored just a few blocks from the Forum and could probably use a push in helping consumers learn more about their brand.

A lot of people have probably heard the name ServiceMaster, but if you asked them what they did, would they know? Partnering up with the Grizzlies would be a great entry point to do that.

Hampton by Hilton

Founded and headquartered in Memphis, the Hampton Inn (now operating as Hampton by Hilton), could use the Memphis Grizzlies jersey ad patch as a easy way to remind viewers and fans that they should choose a Memphis-based company when looking for their lodging needs when vacationing.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Last and certainly not least, the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has to be in consideration for a jersey partnership. The Grizzlies and St. Jude already have an existing relationship, but maybe it’s time to go one step further and putting the logo on the team’s jerseys.

For everything that St. Jude does and their mission, if no one steps forward to be a sponsor, maybe they could give St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital a one to three-year run at no cost.

If no one is paying the massive fee to be on the jersey, putting St. Jude on there would be an amazing gesture instead of having the space go unused for another season.
