Jersey Ads

I'm curious. Are there any NBA or AHL fans in here? Both have had jersey ads of this type for a few years. Have you foiund them distracting? Personally, when I've watched the occasion NBA game, I don't notice the ads at all.

In the actual popular sporting leagues in the world, the annual new jersey reveal is an event.

It's time for every team to come up with an iconic logo/seal that ends up in the corner with an ad taking center stage.

Yeah I know I want to buy a sweater to cheer on the Rogers Maple Leafs. Just because a more popular sport does something, doesn't inherently make it a good thing.

True. No reason a niche sporting league should look at the successful ones on how to increase revenue. That's just a bad idea all around.

I know that this was inevitable, but putting gambling ads on the jerseys is pretty reprehensible and irresponsible IMO.

I don't think ads for gambling sites are any more reprehensible and irresponsible than adds for beer and alcohol.

Why do you care so much about increasing revenue? It’s not going in your pocket. It’s going into the owners’ pockets. And we the fans get ads on jerseys, ads on the glass, ads on the ice, ads on the boards, ads after whistles, etc.

Maybe more fans would be okay with it if they stopped increasing the costs of tickets and concessions every year.

Because sadly we live in a world where if something doesn't continue to make more and more money year after year it gets abandoned for something else that does. Yes, owning a pro team is a vanity thing more than anything else, but billionaires don't become billionaires by losing money hand over fist (usually). If owning an NHL team becomes too much of a money pit the league will wither and franchises will die. I'd rather that not happen.

That's such a myth perpetrated by Bettman. You think owners are lining up to pay over half a billion dollars for the honor of owning a money pit?

Nah, NFL is probably the slowest in introducing new Jersey designs. Only soccer and NBA introduce 4 New Jersey’s every year which is dumb . The NFL and NHL have historical teams with iconic looks and I love that

Franchises are selling for half a billion dollars and you’re trying to tell me that they are money pits? Boy you sure drank the corporate Kool-Aid didn’t you.

Did you not read what I wrote? The growing revenue stream is what allows Bettman to keep finding buyers. If that goes away... good luck.

Which brings us back to what exactly? Fans complaining about increasing revenue streams.
