What a terrible day

f***ing joke of a league

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Never buying another jersey again, absolute bullshit.

 

[jaysoneil]

This is the appropriate time to completely bitch, moan and be negative.

Advertising on professional jerseys, what a sellout move.

How will the sport ever recover

 

[RayP]

League is hurting for $$$ from Covid still. It was only a matter of time, sadly.


Hopefully it’s as well done as the helmets because I barely even noticed those.

 

[clydesdale line]

This is gonna be the norm for all sports. Better get use to it.

 

[swerdnase]

Is there a limit on the number of patches? I hope so. That size is just slightly larger than a standard business card, should be fairly unobtrusive.

 

[Kevin Musto]

NBA does it. It's fine. Not a big deal like some will make it out to be.

Not enough attention is paid to this fact. Owners absolutely got hammered without gate revenue.
The risk / benefit of “do unpopular thing that makes money for the league” calculation is going to be heavily tiled toward the money side now

Bring back fighting. That will help with ratings.

It starts with a small patch, but anyone think it’s still going to be only that in 5-10-15 years? It will incrementally get worse. I hate this.

Yep and it’s not like anyone is going to use this as a reason to stop following the NHL.

Hopefully, Bettman is smart enough to not let it get out of hand.
I cringe when I try to watch a Spengler Cup game.

Another sign THE END is nigh...

It’s always going to be a potential additional revenue, so I doubt it will ever stop, even if it happens real slowly.

 

[bwana63]

An inevitability. Good thing we can count on leadership to not let things get out of hand.

10 years later.

 

[Clownish]

Wait until they do movie tie-in jerseys or other one-off licensing event nights. Star Wars night or Rick & Morty jerseys like the ECHL teams do.

 

[ColbyChaos]

At least there will be cheaper ticket prices thanks to those jersey ads!

 

[JaegerDice]

I'll never understand the uproar over this.

Give it a season, maybe less, you won't even notice it anymore.

Don't disrespect the Chicago Binnyhawks

 

[Larmer83]

Victory Auto Wreckers. Proud jersey sponsor of the Chicago Blackhawks.

That’s when they will add another one.

 

[JaegerDice]

That’s when they will add another one.

Yep.

And eventually they'll be covered.

And it will be just like watching soccer, international hockey, F1 (cars and drivers alike), etc.

I can't get upset about the sanctity of one corporate logo (the hockey team's logo) being tainted by other corporate logos.

Nobody is forcing anybody to put the ad patches on the sweaters they buy for themselves. Keep them as clean as you like.
