the last four years. in the NBA it has

gone up from $1 billion in [991 to
$2.5 billion last year; in the NFL
from $1.7 billion to $3 billion: in the
NHL irom $275 million to $1 bil-
lion. Baseball, undoubtedly hurt by
last year's strike. moved marginally
from $2 billion in 1991 to $2.1 bil-
lion last year.

But the lack of
ferocious, action
logos has to be a
factor. Young peo-

‘ple. who are the

biggest buyers of -

“tee-shirts, sweal-

shirts, caps and
other replica pura- -

that give the impression of speed.

in the century, in the original Pacific
Coast League. there was ateam

That when major league hockey

Rosebuds were re-located to Pe)
Chicago and became the Black.
