Phil Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 This will undoubtedly cause a massive backlash, but I personally don't care. I never notice helmet ads the same as I never notice any others. I'm not going to notice these either, so I'm not going to bother feigning outrage, especially over something that's necessary to prevent a seven-year flat cap.

jsm7302 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hate to see the jersey ads; cheapens the pro look imo. Find better ways to sell advertisement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Bingo. Oh I thought you were pro-helmet ads. Better update my list. Anyways, does any actually believe this money is going to anyone but the top execs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, does any actually believe this money is going to anyone but the top execs?No lol. They're being opportunistic and cash grabbing now, using the pandemic as an excuse. Pretty pathetic really. Especially the division name sponsorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Is that Hasek? And if you want to show how bad the ads look, you can pick any helmet in the NHL. They're all fucking horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I thought it was based on the helmet but looked it up and seems like he didn't play in the Swiss league during the 04-05 lockout. Who's the dude next to Heatley? I thought it looked like Pavol Demitra but turns out he didn't play in the Swiss league either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Hopefully it doesn't get as bad as this in a few years... Never going to happen. This is slippery slope sensationalism at it's best. "They're doing something I don't like, and fear, so I'm immediately going to jump to the worst possible outcome and presume this will happen." Helmet ads, for the most part, have been unnoticeable. Jersey/shoulder ads will be, too. The league isn't suddenly going to resemble some European D-league that has to sell uniform advertising to keep the lights on in their building. Every league that's done this, be it practice jerseys or game-worn ones, has done so with minimal encroachment. Use the league's actaul peers to compare to, not their worst faux-similes.

No I live in a quiet suburb of Raleigh and work as a software engineer for a tech company complaining about poor ice time rationing for most of the kids on a Rangers forum from my Android phone. And I find the helmet ad to be nearly unnoticeable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and I was mainly just being factious. I would actually be fine if they went down the route of soccer club jerseys with just one main sponsor integrated into the jersey design, which can be done pretty tastefully and still look great.

I think the NBA has done it exceptionally well, but then again, the NBA isn't a league governed by a false sense of tradition or some nonsense and fucks with their jerseys on the regular across the board.
