Yes, more fan stupidity. The bases could be orange with 5 different advertisement stickers on them for all I care... I'm looking for WHO's on the base, not WHAT's on it.
I could see a reaction like that if the logos were plastered on the players backs (although there are occasions where it would be perfect placement - like an ad for Suzuki motorcycles on the back of Ichiro... or maybe an ad for Desperate Housewives on the back of Evan Longoria.  ).
