Full on embroidered jerseys ads sewn on to Adidas Authentics sold in the Detroit team store.
Remember when the NHL said the jersey ads wouldn't be on merchandise sold to fans?

New to corporations lying?
Just don't buy them. Thats about the only thing you can really do if you don't agree with it.

I said a year or two ago to hurry up and buy 10 blank jerseys before its too late.
It's almost too late. Go buy blanks or get stuck with adds / fanatics.

The ads will be removed if people don't buy them. Vote with your wallet or whatever they say.
I thought the whole idea of "authentic" is they look exactly like what the players wear on the ice, which by definition would include the ads
The ones sold online are without ads and the ones in team stores have ads. Been that way since the beginning.
Bettman says NHL not looking at jersey advertising, despite NBA
Next season, the NBA will feature advertising on its jerseys. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has long said his league wouldn’t be first in putting ads on jerseys. Since he no longer has to worry about that timing aspect, are jersey ads in the NHL on their way?
sports.yahoo.com
"It’s not an active discussion among NHL clubs,” Bettman said. “I always said we wouldn’t be first. OK, great. The NBA is doing it. But it would take an unusual circumstance – which I would define as ‘a lot of money that I’m having trouble comprehending right now’ – for us to even be thinking about it.”
“You’ll say, well, you did it in the World Cup. The fact of the matter is the World Cup jerseys aren’t like NHL team jerseys,” said Bettman.
“The fact of the matter is we take great pride in our sweaters. We think they’re the best in all of sports, and that’s not something we’re running off to do. We think what we have is special. We talk about history and tradition and how special hockey jerseys are,” he said."

Cheer for teams that don't sell out for an extra few million like the Dallas Stars. Poverty franchise original 6 teams ruining their jersey to milk a few extra dollars. Sad.

I went and bought 5 or 6 different adidas jerseys when all this mess started.

They haven't done it because Gaglardi is a real hockey fan and won't ruin the jersey he helped create. So no it won't happen under him.

Everyone's got a price.
Ah yeah you're right there but it doesn't matter if they said it or not cause they always flip flop anyway.

Bettman has *nothing* to do with this.
People don't seem to even understand what a Commissioner does. He works for the owners and answers to them, and them only.
Bettman doesn't even get a vote on whether their should be ads on the jerseys.
Bettman has no say on whether the Arizona Coyotes relocate or not.
Bettman has nothing to do with your favourite player being suspended (unless they appeal.)
Over and over again here people blame Gary Bettman for things he has zero involvement in.

I mean, to play the Devil’s Advocate, that statement was made in 2017. And he made it clear that money would be the deciding factor in whether they have ads on jerseys.
Then something happened in 2020 that caused the league to lose a LOT of money.

Where's the part where Bettman said ads would never be on the sweaters sold to fans?
