Jersey Ads

[StrangeVision]

next season they are gonna add jerseys with the 10 different betting ads they show us every ad break.

Digital displays on each player's jersey showing real-time odds at all times. The way of the future.

Jersey ads are pure greed by billionaire owners

Billionaires are greedy and want more. More at 11...

I don’t think casual fans care. I’ve never heard a casual fan bring ads up.

I just think hockey fans look for reasons to complain about the league.

There's a reason casual fans are considered casual -- they generally care less about hockey and only show interest if their team is in a championship or if they score free tickets to a game with good seats.

Of course these type of "fans" don't bring up ads. They don't have a reference point or knew NHL hockey when it was a far better experience. They also don't obsess over the game and pay attention to all aspects. The NHL is nothing more than a quick, temporary distraction for them, once a week, if that.

These aren't the people the NHL, or any league, should be catering to. The hockey fans who love the game, watch on TV and attend in person, buy the merch, and live and die with their teams are the type of fans the NHL should be catering to -- no different that any other business -- you always cater to your most loyal customers.

The NHLs alienation of the diehard fan doesn't even make sense from a true branding standpoint, which is why the league has been aggressively seeding narratives since the lockout in 2004. The reality is the NHL bit off more than they could chew and now they're desperately trying to drain every possible penny out of advertisers and fans. More than any other pro sports league, the NHL needs to reset the landscape at multiple levels.

Looks even worse that the ad in this case is so small so that side is basically empty while the other side is overcrowded

Yes I agree; the other ad should be larger

[CanadienShark]

I do like Toronto's.

That's the only ad I support.

Hate seeing this thread get bumped but that's actually one of the better-looking ones
Even is almost like a subtle Flying V reference

The A to the side looks bad though

 

[dukedukowski]

Runner up gets a cup patch

 

[Bandit]

Might as well put the A in his armpit.

 

[Rob Brown]

Ugh, so cluttered.

 

[thewookie1]

If this is one of the better looking ones then burn them all now

At some point I just expect a massive ad like soccer kits, and the team logo is just a crest. That's what will happen, because we still have to pay escrow in 6 years time.

Any ad patch that displaces a normal element of the jersey - captain letter, commemorative patch, whatever - shows exactly what the people responsible think of their audience.

You won’t have to worry that with there fanatics deal because everything o the jerseys will fall off anyways.

Hockey jerseys are known to be some of the best looking in all of sports..... leave it to Bettman & the NHL to ruin them.

This post brought you by Lay's chip. Have a chip on your shoulder about the advertisements ? Then you need to get Lay's!

This comment is sponsored by Bet99. Did you expect a terrible comment ? Do you think people will like, laugh react, or ignore ? Do you think Tarheel will respond, or react ? Place your bet now ! The odds are appearing on your screen right.... now.



Disclaimer: Bet99 doesn't have a section to bet on this. Whatever money you bet will just be kept and spent trying to get those wax candies from the 90s that had liquid in them, but because you're dumb like everyone else you chewed on the wax afterwards, or that was just me because I couldn't afford the waxy drink and gum.

Unless you have a link that states otherwise, as far as I know the players have zero control over advertising and have no say in where ads are placed.

No they get 50% of the ad revenue though. So if they have issue, they should state them.

Not to mention this is supposed to be about a Stanley Cup Final patch.

Hmmmm ... Maybe Babcock wanted his team's personal photos so he could see which players were suitable for full-body advertising tattoos. It'd save money on home & away unis.
