The Los Angeles Clippers became the 20th franchise this season to sign a jersey patch deal with an advertiser.

Clippers signed a deal with dating app Bumble.

Per Yahoo Sports, the Clippers have the female-forward dating app Bumble. The marriage between Bumble and the Clippers makes sense on a few different levels. The Clippers have the largest female leadership team not just in the NBA, but in all of sports. There are six women in top leadership positions with the Clippers, and choosing Bumble is a reflection of that. Bumble was founded by a woman, Whitney Wolfe Herd (who also co-founded Tinder), and the app is unique from other dating apps by having women make the first move and send the first message.
