I agree for the most part ck, the only exception being if I buy a Jersey I don't want ads all over it. Otherwise I'm all for it. Sponser it out the wazoo.
I'm getting more and more dismayed at the ineptness of the Shop NHL website and overall NHL merchandising.
Second, why did they not incinerate the Ribeiro shirts? Sort of like what they do with all of the merchandise for the team that losses the Cup in game 7. All of the "Cup Championship" gear that has already been printed is sent back for destruction. Anybody out there want a Ribs shirt? Only to stick to my dart board.
In summary, NHL merchandising is lame.
Kind of a side note, but from what I understand, the "Championship" merchandise/clothes for the losing team in pretty much any sport usually gets sent to third world countries, instead of destroyed.
That means some poor, half-starved kid out there in Guatemala or Africa is probably wearing an Arizona Cardinals 2008 Super Bowl Champions t-shirt, or a Phoenix Coyotes 2012 Western Conference Champions hat right now.
