I was wondeirng since the owners want to make mroe profit why not add advertisemnts to the jerseys like they do in Europe??? wouldnt that help create a alot of revenue?
I'm not so against the idea, but I know when it has been entertained before on the threads, traditionalists take this idea down and burn it quickly.

EDIT:
See?
ResidentAlien said:I think it looks tacky & it is an eyesore. Hell I dont even like seeing advertising on the ice, the boards..fine.I dont think this is the answer...but hey, there is no such thing as a bad idea
Lots of add patches on the Jerseys and a Hard Cap at $ 50 mil and the owners make money and everyone is happy ..Hoss said:Hell, why not make it like racing? Keep salaries low and let the players sell every inch of thier jersey with ad-space. Fugly as sin but everyone wins.

Changing the nets instead of changing the size of pads goalies are allowed to wear (other than the PC bogus comprimise leg pad regulation)
Advertising is important and has a rich history of running over the allotted commercial break and causing the home viewer to miss action. It distracts the fans watching action, annoys home viewers and perveates every free bit of our lives in order to fashion us as good consumers and make us believe that garbage sounds good, tastes goos or that a bunch of criminals won't rob us at every chance to appease the shareholders.
Why not put more on the ice surface? And have spam like advertising on the urinals......you know.....the pop-up type that would keep you from peeing unless you coud hit the no thanks button with your stream?
Food....pretzels will have logos of sponsors all over them (and still be $4 a pop), soda will havecoupons on the side, toilet seats will play audio when sat upon, mirrors will have led's and not function until the ad runs through.
How much more ads do we have to get pestered and annoyed and ***** with? owners will make more money, so p-layers can demand more money and we'll end up with higher ticket prices regardless. The board ads didn't work (unless you were a player/agent/owner). This won't work (unless you're NOT a fan).
Stop thinking of how to appease the debacle of a business called the NHL and suggest ways to bring in MORE money.
Start thinking of ways to get them to spend LESS (and thus need less) money.
No one thinks of the two sides of this business correctly.
It's not the players and the owners. It's the NHL and it's employees AND the fans who are the consumer. You want balance,not unending thievery and price escalation. They will get less fans and make less money on advertising withbusiness as usual combined with annoying gimmicks.
They will get more money from advertising if ratings go up and arenas sell out. Period.
So stop trying to bolster revenue to spite the attendance. Start bolstering the product and VALUE (ticket prices???) to maximize revenue streams.
Simple economics.

ie like the Addidas logo on this Jersey.
They arent all that noticable and i dont think they would really upset the fans or traditionalists all that much.
davemess said:The money for the big soccer stomach ads can be huge - Chelsea just signed a deal that will pay them £100 million over 15 years.
In dollars that is over $10 million per year.
The Messenger said:If the players had to wear many patches on their jerseys but their Salaries went up it would be a no brainer ... but the NHL is the only one that controls league Reveune through advertising and the players have no say in the process or methods used ..
League could even have a promotion to give these game worn Jerseys away via a raffle etc to generate Revenue ..
Major League Soccer also employs advertisements on their jerseysOlTimeHockey said:Soccor-BIG

All kiding aside .. this touches on what is wrong with a Linkage NHL CBA ..
