Jersey Ads

This is exactly what a shill would say.

Adidas is the manufacturer of the jerseys so why wouldn't they have their logo on it? I have Yamaha drums not Yamaha McDonalds drums. There is a crystal clear difference to anyone with common sense. Guitar companies make Gibson Les Pauls and Fender Strats, not Gibson Chrysler TD Canada Trust Les Paul's and Fender Nestlé Lululemon Strats. Those guitars would be far less collectable and would also look like crap.

Adidas makes the jersey and then a team puts their logo on it. Milk and RBC do not have a factories that make the jerseys and selling out to companies like that only stands to dilute the meaning of the team logos and what people cheer for.

You clearly haven't put very much thought into your "DURRRRR's."

The shills are working very hard trying to justify this trash.

That's not even a good comparison. They're still the Detroit Red Wings, the NY Rangers, etc. They aren't the Detroit Chrysler Red Wings or the NY Chase Bank Rangers. Good try, though.

I'm no shill, I'm just smart enough to understand that teams want as many revenue streams as they can get...PLUS I'm smart enough to understand this isn't going to affect my enjoyment of watching games nor will it affect how my team plays. They put ads on the helmets, everyone got pissed, and what happened? Nothing.

There's a small handful of soft people who are going to stop watching, and who wins in that scenario? Not them. Imagine willingly not watching prime McDavid or Makar or whoever just because they have a logo on their chest that you'll barely pay any attention to, anyway. Do you scream into the void about the ads on the boards or the corporate name on every arena?

If this is a big deal to you, go take a walk or take a deep breath or something. Christ, you can still buy jerseys without the ads on them.
This is just something for people like you to use to be mad online. Waste of time.

I wish I got paid to shill for the ads on the jerseys.

They're dumb, but it's the world we live in. The energy, emotion, outrage, etc... that is focused on the ads is better served in addressing the continued slide into end-stage capitalism.

Fixed your post.

I see you're shilling just as hard as before. There are many shills in the online world and I'm certain a shill would never disclose that they are being paid.

A good shill would also be wise change their look every time people begin to recognize them for who they really are.

If you are so smart as you claim, then why can you not see you are in the minority here. Ads DO effect a lot of fans.

If it does not effect you, it just proves you are not a real fan of the game and sport. Because how the game looks also plays a huge part in fan support.
Just look at the uproar in Montreal.

For someone that claims to be so smart, you are not very smart.
 
It’s shitty but it’s not going to keep me from watching my sport cause I’m a fan; It’s how this world is running.

Same as my lady, my sister and friends who are into other things and are dealing with the same type of occurrences.

Going to lay this out simply so it doesn't require fixing.

Explaining that ads are an expected outcome from the financial system we operate in is not shilling.

Explaining that ads have been on jerseys for decades is not shilling.

Teams are owned by billionaires.

Billionaires make money.

Ads make money.

Ads are going to be all over the team/game so long as they are owned by billionaires in our current financial system.

I am opposed to this system.

I am opposed to billionaires in general.

I am not buying a jersey (never have).

I have repeatedly told posters that the only message owners will hear is a loss in money (ie don't buy them).

Expressing a viewpoint that does not align with yours is not the result of a massive conspiracy.

Someone can have a different emotional reaction to something without it being the result of a paycheck.

It's the same guys, the same sport. But they're not MY guys or MY team. That's basically the difference when you sell out your core product.

It's like NASCAR or tennis. Great athletes. No particular loyalty to anyone. And that makes it less compelling for me.
 
I think people are getting too worked up about this. They're not the size of the ads players in Europe are wearing and theres not several of them covering up 90% of the jersey like the ones in Europe. Theyre tiny little ads that you're not going to see much of when the regular broadcast cameras are on the game.

"duh but what about the cameras showing the play in the corners and behind then net?"

Try focusing on the guy with the puck and that dinky litle patch with an ad for Carl's Jr.

The jerseys you buy in the store wont have the ad so cool it.

You see, you’re defending this. Fans get 0 benefit from this BS so I don’t see why people jump on for the league’s defence. I am a fan of watching highest quality of hockey not fan of the NHL necessarily. So NHL as a league can f*** right off with this BS. Big companies that are already making bank selling out for small little ads on jerseys are the worst.

A few folks have said "if you hate the ads so much, just don't watch". I can already say that I've turned off a few games because the ads were too distracting. They now have ads on:
- The boards​
- The ice​
- The glass​
- The scoreboard​
- Helmets​
- Jerseys​
- In the stands​
- On the building​
- In the play by play​
Even the power play, replay, etc. are "Xcel Energy Power Play."

I'm only one fan, but I have to imagine that at least a few others will stop paying to watch something crammed full of ads.

They've had ads on the boards since early 90's. I cant believe people actually get distracted by ads when McDavid goes flying by a Geico ad that shit doesnt throw me off, I'm too busy watching McDavid and what he can do with the puck. Couldnt give a shit about car insurance. The ads are on the jerseys are still pretty tiny.

No such thing as a small ad. The Geico commercials aren't 95% comedy, 5% ad. They're 100% ad. You put an ad on a hockey jersey, it's no longer a hockey jersey. It's an ad baiting your attention in with hockey-related content.

I wouldnt say im fully defending it. Do I like them on jerseys? No! Is it necessary? Definitely Not! Keep it on the boards and on the signs around the arena. Thats more than enough for me. I dont like them on nba jerseys either. But i'm not distracted by ads on their jerseys while watching Curry launch a 3 from half court.

Cmon man, this isnt hard, they're small little ads on the corner of the jersey. Like I said earlier As long they dont cover up the whole damn jerseys with 10 different ads on the jerseys like they have on the european jerseys it probably wont bother me. But if I see HONDA SKIP THE DISHES STATE FARM WENDYS etc. going across the whole damn jersey then yeah you might lose me. but the little stickers they had for ads on helmets last year didnt throw me off at all.

Agree to disagree. You replace just one little star on the US flag with a McDonald's logo, the thing's meaning changes completely.

Then it hasn't been a jersey in decades. Any random sweatshop can churn out jerseys but there is a very heavily negotiated contract with money being made by both sides for the official jerseys to be made by adidas, Reebok, CCM (not that they still aren't sweatshops... support ethical labor practices), or whoever because they can slap their logo on it.
 
I understand that there have been ads for years, and that other sports have had jersey ads for years, but I don't understand why we should be okay with the NHL (or anyone else) pushing more ads. Where does it stop? Complete saturate the ice with ads like Nascar? Flashing banner ads across the blue lines? We already have roughly 8 minutes of ads in a 30 minute TV show. Why not make it 9 or 10 or 20? What's the difference?

For me, it's already too much. For some people, it doesn't seem to be a bother, and that's fine. But to say that the rest of us have no argument because there are already ads, or that other sports do it, that's pretty narrow minded.

The issue I see is that this is the abomination all of a sudden in a sea of advertising. This patch is the ruination of the purity of hockey. Or not even issue, the severity of the outrage, maybe is a better term.

And I'm with you. It's been too much for decades. But the fuss is made over the patch and not the underlying systemic process that led to the patch. It's a weird place to draw the line in the sand all things considered.

I was already upset. This is more like the straw that broke the camel's back. The jersey was the one thing that at least held respect. Teams like the Canadiens have been coming together under that logo for a century. Now it's the Some Garbage Bank Canadiens.

What's next? A Tim Horton's logo on The Cup?

I'll never understand people who aren't actively playing on rosters in the NHL complaining about stagnant salary caps. I love stagnant salary caps. Right now the league's cap situation is good as there's good mid-range cap players. Eventually this crap will turn into the NBA where the top players will eat up all of the money and the supporting cast will earn the pennies of the league and there won't be much strategy behind what GM's do in the league.
 
did Ottawa and Toronto have ads on today? if they did I didn't notice them

Do you honestly believe there will not be larger and/or more numerous ads on jerseys in coming seasons? The NHL isn't going to go NASCAR overnight. First it's ads on helmets (Big deal, it's only a helmet), then it's a small patch on the jersey (Big deal, you'll barely notice), then it increases going forward.

The jerseys you buy in the store won't have the ad, so cool it? Isn't the point of having a jersey is that you are wearing what the players wear? Why not just save money and get a t-shirt, or better yet don't buy team merch to show teams that if they want ad revenue they will lose revenue from fans.
