awful

 

[Myllz]

Meh, whatever. It's going to happen in every sport eventually.

 

[stokes84]

Doesn't bother me.

 

[dire wolf]

yuck

 

[FoSotC]

Hate it from an aesthetics standpoint at minimum.

Maybe Pegula will buy all the ad space on Sabres jersers and not place any ads on them.

 

[Deevo]

ewwwwwww this is terrible news

 

[Insomniac99]

Maybe Pegula will buy all the ad space on Sabres jersers and not place any ads on them.

Would be happy if this happened.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

I refuse to believe it. It's too tacky even for the NHL.

That would be pretty cool.

But we all knew this time would come eventually. As long as things like this ensure that the league won't go into yet another lockout, I don't really care that much.

If it is happening then it better be on the bottom part of the back of a jersey... Under the numbers. If it's plastered on the front or on the arms then that's a joke . Yet again the NHL proving to be a second rate league. Think the NFL would allow ads on their jerseys? Say what you want about their headphones, tablets Etc they are run like a top rate business. The nhl is not.

I don't really care if it's one but I suppose we all know where this is going in time.

 

[DrStrangelife]

On the bright side, ads can't screw up our 3rd jerseys.

Was bound to happen. The NBA has been making rumblings about this for years so I'm kinda glad the NHL is the one to go first, let the rest of the leagues follow hockey.

I have zero interest in soccer, but do people who care about those teams and leagues have as much of an issue with sponsorship?

 

[FearTheBeard]

Its definitely going to influence my decision to buy a jersey. Why should i pay hundreds of dollars to be a walking advertisement of some company i don't give 2 ***** about

Not that anyone really watches it but I believe the WNBA has sponsors on their jerseys, and the big euro soccer clubs do as well.

Embarassing. When it happens, my days of buying/wearing jerseys are done.

That usually doesn't happen. Ads will only be on the players jerseys. Fans might not even have an option, but to wear jerseys sans the ads. Unless, of course, you get a signed jersey from a player. (But then again; who knows!?)

Fan jerseys won't have ads on them.

This has to be a sick joke. Will not buy a jersey ever again, at a minimum. And I mean minimum. Could not wear it with a straight face.

As Jerry Seinfeld said, you're rooting for the laundry. We know this. Give us something to root for.

And more money will not prevent lockouts. It will encourage them. It's just more money to fight over.

 

[sabres4ever]

Atrocious!

Next thing you know. they'll make it look like the pants are way down below the butt, and you can see they draws hangin out.

 

[haseoke39]

Just read the article: for only $4M per team???

You dumb ****s better lose $10M in the first year.
