Do players get commissions for jerseys sold ?

[dkd]

With their name of it. Do they ?

 

[Brodie]

No. .

 

[Tackla]

No, but usually higher salaries.

 

[LadyStanley]

Directly? No.

Indirectly, yes.


"Player name and likeness" usage requires "royalty" payment to union. (This includes photographs, bobbleheads, dolls, shirts/jerseys and other clothing items.)

(In addition, manufacturers have to pay a royalty to NHL Enterprises for use of trademarked logos.)


How the union divides those monies, I don't know.

Do teams keep a higher profit for jerseys sold in their arenas compared to jerseys sold on nhl.com or other retailers?
**all officially licensed merchandise

Yes. At team owned stores they get to pocket the whole retail markup. For jerseys sold at NHL.Com (or other retailers) they just get 1/30 of the licensing fees paid to the League by the manufacturers/distributors.

I assume it is 'hockey related revenue' so selling a lot of jerseys would have a positive impact on the salary cap. Presumably players that sell a lot of jerseys would also be the ones to most benefit. So, indirectly.

Individually ??
I was under the impression years ago, that revenues went to
a general fund, paying retirement funds, etc???

Maybe that was baseball?

 

[BigZ65]

Haven't some players in MLB opted out of the PA licensing arm (jerseys, video game likeness etc)? I'm thinking Barry Bonds for some reason.

I do believe they get a certain percentage for jerseys with their name on it.
