Jersey Ads

[Ceremony]

Vile.

 

[Laus723]

Oh, so as soon as they recover their losses, the ads will go away, right?

No, but I ultimately don’t care. It doesn’t affect me and brings revenue into the league.

I mean, people were just carrying on about viewership, must they’re considered about the money the league brings in. This helps.

I just think hockey fans tend to be whiny af, if there’s something to bitch about, they will. There’s an ad. Who cares? Why does it matter. Do I want to see nascar style uniforms…absolutely not. I don’t care for the ad placements, but it has zero affect on me and brings money into the league. So I’ll look at the positive for now.

Maybe a local gym can sponsor fighting majors lol

That's like expecting your taxes to go down

The entire experience is saturated with advertisements, which absolutely negatively impacts my experience. Hard to get into the spirit of the game when every five minutes you are inundated with some sort of "in your face" advertisement to try and get you to buy X product.

It's been a slow squeeze for years, and I have certainly watched a lot less hockey as a result. Seeing ads on the jerseys is just icing on the cake for me.

As others have mentioned, these aren't ads. That's a whole other discussion.

They are however another example of the NHL's penchant for bad design and aesthetics.

For me when I complain about the endless ads the league implements year after year, it's not about the principle. It's about actually watching the game.

The increasing number of ads makes the game harder, uglier, and less clear to watch. Especially with the latest abomination that is the digital ads on boards, many of which are animated. The eye is drawn to movement, which is why the ads do that. To draw your eye to the advertisement and away from the hockey actually being played.

The cup logo being there is fine.

The actual ad on the other side is too small. It needs to be bigger.
In fact, I think it's dumb to have only 1 ad on the jerseys. There's so much empty space on the jersey they could put more ads on to generate more revenue. Throw something underneath the team logo on the front. The upper-arms look bare too. Not sure why the NHL is leaving all this money on the table.

 

[CTHabsfan]

People will complain about anything.

Are you complaining about people complaining?

You say that you don't care about jersey ads, then say that you don't care for the ad placements. You also state that you absolutely do not want NASCAR-style uniforms. Seems like you care at least a bit.

You can be sure as long as there are people who don't care about helmet decals and a small patch on a jersey we will continue to see more ads and eventually end up with NASCAR-style uniforms.

I’m not a fan of them, that doesn’t then mean that I waste any energy caring about them. I’m not a fan of CNN, but I spend zero time caring about it.

I guess, but I don’t let it affect my enjoyment of the game. It’s still hockey.

lol Just looks unbalanced.

Vegas is really missing out here.

You don't have to understand it, but it is a legitimate perspective.

You don't waste any energy caring about jersey ads, but you do waste energy typing multiple posts to let people know you don't care- gotcha! Three years ago there were no ads, then there were helmet ads and now there are jersey ads. As long as you don't care, advertising will increase until teams end up with NASCAR-style uniforms.

It used to be the jerseys were off limits, but here we are. It doesn't take a psychology major to see how they go about it either. Start with small ads that are visible but not obnoxious. Give people a few years to condition them. Add another ad. Give them a few more seasons to condition them, etc

And no, I don’t want to see nascar style uniforms, then I may care, but for now it is what it is.

The problem is if you give them an inch they take a mile

Lmao, you seriously having this much trouble? You quoted my post, I replied. This is a message board, not sure what’s so hard for you to grasp here. Or the hostility. Clearly you have trouble sleeping at night because of it and want everyone to have that same energy, but I don’t.

Quick fyi, I’ll respond to your post if quoted. Kinda how a message board works.

I don’t disagree.

I’ll file this under “things I don’t give a crap about.” The League lost money during Covid, ads are a way to make some of it back, it’s something we have to live with. Panthers ownership paid all their employees during the lockdown, if I have to see the Cup patch hug the captain patches on 3 jerseys, I’ll live with it.

In the grand scheme, they’re in the Finals, they did right during the pandemic, and this postseason has been amazing.

Soooo, who cares.

Mmmmm. Boot flavour.

You posted five times in this thread before I joined. Am I not allowed to disagree with your opinion? BTW, I sleep just fine, although my wife says I snore a bit.

Replying to others. People are pissed about it and seem to have an issue with me saying I don’t care and kinda understand…as long as it doesn’t go too far.

Glad to hear you’re sleeping well.

 

[HansonBro]

There's an ad on that jersey?

 

[tom_servo]

I'm with the haters on this one. Seems like an unappealing, pointless disruption for the sake of a small ad. Add this to the animated boards and removing "Stanley Cup Playoffs" from the ice and I'm in my bitter old man era.

 

[drktmplr12]

I HAVE A STRANGE URGE TO GOTO AUTONATION

said no one ever after watching a hockey game with a microscopic ad

 

[VivaLasVegas]

I use to fall for this sort of stuff back in my 20s.

 

[BLNY]

I don't have a problem with the patch. The league has had Stanley Cup patches on jerseys for a long time. But, I dislike where it is. If they're bound to the actual ad on the right side, then the Cup patch should be elsewhere OR smaller so it can slide under it.

 

[Toonces]

It's a cool patch. I like the design quite a bit. That placement is absolutely terrible however. I didn't like it when Detroit had the captaincy and the patch on the other side, and I don't like it now. Those two patches should never go together.
