Confirmed with Link: Ads on jersey 2022/23

[MileHighHawksFan]

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

True, plus that trickles down to the players with a heavy escrow number in order to make the owners whole, hopefully that helps with that. Escrow and revenue share is always a hot topic come cba time, hopefully the ship rights itself before this current CBA/extension expires.

Who cares?
The only reason anyone cares is because they're not used to it.

 

[RayP]

Who cares?

I’d be annoyed if it got to the extent of some of those euro leagues but I don’t think it will.


I’m more annoyed by the ads on ice and on the glass that they transpose that then bounce around. That can get distracting when they’re real bad, and they often are.

Even if it did get to that point the only reason why anyone would complain is that we're not used to it.

If there had been ads on jerseys since the 70s or 80s nobody would care.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Very opposed to this. Hopefully they at least never have the ads on the sweaters they sell, as that'd guarantee that I'd never buy an official jersey again. I'm already not getting another MLB jersey because I dislike the Nike logo on the front.

 

[sandyfalkirk]

Whilst it is pretty meaningless in the great scheme of things....its a shame really.

One of the things I love about the NHL compared to leagues over here is the cleaner jerseys.

Won't stop me watching but I still think its a shame that some classic jerseys will look more cluttered

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.

That is the key, one single patch of that size is not a huge deal. That said, Pandora's box is now open and it will likely only be a matter of time before it looks like this, hope I am wrong...

As It Turns Out, Ads On Hockey Jerseys Are Actually Bad

Won't be any different than how the NBA does it

 

[BK]

I don’t care at all. More revenue for the league.

 

[featherhawk]

Won't be any different than how the NBA does it

will see what happens in time, the NBA started in 2017-2018 and they only have one besides the nike swoosh LOL...so that is good...thus far...

Rakutan pays the Golden State warriors 20 Million for three years...

the NBA likely has an easier time keeping it to one given the amount of jersey space is significantly less than hockey uniforms...All they have is a muscle shirt, shorts (not including shoes and I don't think they would ever go there)

the NHL on the other hand has full shirts, hockey pants, hockey socks which is much, much more advertising space.

does anyone know if the Adds are going to be on Jerseys sold to fans? Sure hope not cause if they do the NHL has lost a pretty good customer, I have about 60 NHL jerseys (about 15 national jerseys in addition

no way I am going to advertise for those companies

 

[featherhawk]

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

maybe not, that said there is no way I will purchase jerseys moving forward if the adds are on them

 

[Kevin Musto]

They aren't with NBA jerseys, so I imagine NHL will do the same

 

[MileHighHawksFan]

I think it would take a helluva a deal to sell jerseys with ads on them, doubt that happens anytime soon at least.

Let's all debate which teams will get which companies. Since it's going to happen whether we like it or not, I hope the hawks at least get either a company I like or one that seems "fitting."

As a Canadian who’s never actually been, but knows of it from the local Chicago broadcasts, I hope it’s Binny’s Beverage Depot.

Is there a big ass company that either has indirect or direct ties to Indigenous cultures?

That would be a great fit to ensure that our logo; IMO top 5 all time in all of NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB stayed the same.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Ugly. Disappointing. But in 5 years we won’t even notice them and in 10 years some fans won’t know what it was like to see jerseys without ads.

Seriously. Sports fans should be able to buy a jersey without also buying a blatant advertisement for some major corporations and businesses.

 

[Panzerspitze]

Disappointed by the absence of any Delta and Corona jokes.

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

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

Where's the Chico's Bail Bonds?

 

[OilersCoffeeArtBeer]

I would only be okay with advertisements on jerseys if the oilers have a McDonald's logo or coca cola...or both...
It's best to add a Versace logo as well.

If it either limits or kills the commercial breaks, let there be ads on NHL jerseys.
It would be time, to be honest.

Now wouldn't it be enjoyable to watch a hockey game commercial brake free or what...

 

[HawksBeerFan]

How will the sport ever recover

There's a pretty unique thing with soccer where there are NO commercial breaks during game play. You do have some during halftime and before matches, but there are never ad breaks during the 45 minute halves. The shirt sponsors are somewhat more understandable in that context.

With the NHL, we already have tons of ad breaks during matches.

Commercial breaks aren’t even that bad in hockey. Plus they utilize the time to clear the ice surface.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they start doing the split screen commercials in between whistles. The game on one side and a commercial on the other if you don’t know what I’m talking about. They do this a lot in golf broadcasts.
