ESPN reports today that the Orlando Magic have signed a jersey patch deal with Disney.

The Disney logo will appear on Magic jerseys starting next season (surely it'll look nicer than that garbage iron-on in the photo?), and Magic/Disney jerseys will be sold at games.

"With Orlando as our hometown, Magic has always been a key strand of our DNA," Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins said in a statement. "This expanded agreement with Disney brings our story full circle and represents the coming together of two dynamic organizations that have become synonymous with Orlando."

We're not sure there's a better take than @ImJaredSmith's, who tweeted: "Shoulda been Pub Subs."
