Jersey Ads

The caps recently showcased their new jersey with ads, and as usual the internet is very mad about it. Who cares that they're putting an ad you couldn't even see in the arena on the jersey. Maybe you can claim it's too much as you have ads on the ice, boards, and helmet and now jersey. But who cares? Are yinz real that alert that you will keenly notice every f***ing detail during the game. That ad displeases me! Oh, and not the Tik Tok one on the ice, or Instagram?

Even if you DID have the attention span to notice such a small ad, why does it matter? These at companies making money. They shill out their arena to companies, jerseys, helmets et al.

Maybe if msg renamed itself to Nathan Stadium throw a fit.

I really hope the ads aren’t on the customers jerseys. Won’t be buying another one if that’s the case.

Yeah I’m nitpicking. But f*** it I hate ads

They aren't. Another reason why why the anger is overrated.

That said I do have a Korean baseball jersey. In Korean all the jerseys have ads and the team name is an ad. So I'm a walking ad for a ton of Korean companies I don't know but I don't care
 
Really hoping Canucks just go with TD or something, The green fits the Jerseys just fine.
If they go with like a Purple or Red Color, That would be awful.

I do, looks like shit and goes against my economical ideals.

Will I do anything about it? Nope, professional sports organizations exist to generate wealth so that'd be pissing in the wind.

I'll keep enjoying the NHL's content without giving them any of my money until either my death or their inevitable demise, whichever comes first.

It's a designed creep. Move the posts a couple inches at a time until they get where they want to be. No uncertainty abut it, they want to monetize every single damn square inch of open space.

First were the board ads, then ice ads, then they added ads in the glass behind nets, then helmets, now jerseys. In a couple years we will see soccer style jerseys where the ad sits front and centre in place of the team logo.

What's ypur personal tolerance for ads? Mine was bypassed years ago.

Like I said earlier in the thread. My team's jerseys has been littered with ads since 30 years ago. It didn't affect my love for the team or the sport one bit. When they, as the only team in the league decided to get rid of the ads a few years ago, it still didn't affect my love for the team or the sport. It was just the same. In other words.. You'll get over it.

Stanley Cup incorporated into the ad patch. Teams should be able to get even more money. Welcome to the Carls Jr Stanley Cup, f*** you

So your answer is that your personal tolerance is very high. That's fine for you and all, but for those of us who fundamentally detest advertising, it sucks.

If it was a free product, i wouldn't complain, but we are talking about a product with a very high entry cost point where ads are just a f***en slap in the face.
 
Personally I think it is a disappointing, NHL jerseys being unsullied by advertising was unique amongst professional sports and the reverence in which the jerseys were held was refreshing and differentiated it from other sports.

I’m also dubious of benefits to the advertisers, aren’t they likely to alienate a good proportion of the fan base of any team they sponsor?

Yes, my tolerance is probably high. So is my understanding that when I watch a hockey game, the quality of the game, which of course is what I want, is not affected by some stickers on a jersey.

Detest advertising all you want, I just feel for you since you're letting a trivial thing such as advertising, which we're all subjected to hundreds of times per day, get to you.

It's not as trivial as you pretend it is. Ads are absolutely everywhere at all times every single day, and its getting worse by the day.

I just want to enjoy one f***ing thing in my life for a few hours without someone trying to sell me a Bud Light.

There's no escaping Bud Light. Just drink it.

I was thinking this while driving the other day. We have created one of the wealthiest societies ever to exist. Shouldn't we use that position of power to hold some things sacred? If no one can build a big "f*** you and your view" billboard, is any business really worse off?

Shouldn't the whole point of making all this money be making a nice place to live?

We already pay a stupendous amount to go and see our sports teams in our leisure time. advertising on everything degrades the experience.

The only thing sacred in capitalism is money and that's exactly why this created society has been one of the wealthiest.

You don't see the difference between supporting the team you are a fan of by wearing their jersey, and having a gambling company ad slapped on that jersey?
Click to expand...
I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Does the gambling company ad stop you from supporting the team you're fan of?

In the same way a countries flag is an advertisement for the country. Would you care if flags started having ads on them. Would you like Finland to compete internationally with a big McDonalds logo? How about an IKEA one?
Click to expand...
I think there's an obvious difference between companies and countries, so I don't think this comparison makes that much sense.

Also, Finland's jerseys have had ads on them for a long time now.

Ads on jerseys. Ads on helmets. Ads at center ice. Ads at the faceoff circle. Ads at the blue lines. Ads on the boards. Ads on the scoreboard. Ads on the stadiums. Ads on powerplays. Ads after every goal. Ads at intermission. Ads after every whistle. Ads during national anthems.

Honestly the NHL is worse than any other sport including post-2006 NASCAR with the advertisements.
 
"for those of us who detest advertising"

Advertising can be hated on but this is not the right example. Hate on other types of advertising on TV like pharmaceutical ads (DO YOU HAVE A BENT CARROT? ARE YOU FEELING TIRED, HUNGRY, SLEEPY? SEE YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT PAXNOVIN) but not the NHL, they're doing things the right way and not as intrusive as other leagues. Basically the MLB and NBA already place small ads on the jersey and nobody has thrown a fit

I’m pretty surprised by the number of people in this thread that don’t care.

Maybe not that surprised. People are willing to put up with a lot.

the most scathing argument for "don't care" is that other leagues in this country do it, especially soccer which has had rotating ads and sponsors for years, and nobody cares. But place one ad on a hockey jersey in America and shit goes crazy. Even though other countries and leagues have done it for years.

"BUT OUR GAME HAS TO HAVE 'INTEGRITY'"

yeah okay
 
I don't have an issue with ads on the jerseys. But I do hate that some (many?) will be for gambling sites. That feels like a dangerous thing to be pushing on fans.
 
We all knew that the ads were coming. We're not living in 1960 anymore. Money is the shtick and everybody wants it. We as NHL fans can be happy it lasted so long without ads.

I'm surprised that there are so many posters in here who are upset. It's not the first time fans got shit on, doesn't matter which sport. You matter the moment you spend money and nothing more.
 
Jersey ads so 4th liners can make 3M per year while McDavid is paid the same as Fedorov in 2003
