Phil Posted April 17, 2021 Author 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.

Pete Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 The helmet ads are hideous. These will be worse.Bingo.

Keirik Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 I think players should just have to mandatorily get neck tattoo ads . Do this shit right.
L'albatros Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 I think players should just have to mandatorily get neck tattoo ads . Do this shit right. lol
jsm7302 Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Hate to see the jersey ads; cheapens the pro look imo. Find better ways to sell advertisement.
josh Posted April 18, 2021 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?
Pete Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 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?No lol. They're being opportunistic and cash grabbing now, using the pandemic as an excuse. Pretty pathetic really. Especially the division name sponsorship.
Karan Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Hopefully it doesn't get as bad as this in a few years...
josh Posted June 9, 2021 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.
Karan Posted June 9, 2021 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.
BrooksBurner Posted June 9, 2021 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. Lol you barely notice most of them. The Rangers Chase one in particular blends right in.
Phil Posted June 9, 2021 Author 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.
BrooksBurner Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Hopefully it doesn't get as bad as this in a few years... That would obviously destroy jersey sales lol
josh Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Lol you barely notice most of them. The Rangers Chase one in particular blends right in. Do you live in NYC working for a marketing firm complaining about CEO pay on Twitter from your iPhone? They look fucking horrible to anyone not bathing in big corp marketing jizz.
josh Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Leave it to liberals to want their jerseys to be smeared with big corps like it’s NASCAR

They look fucking horrible to anyone not bathing in big corp marketing jizz. 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

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.
paddynyc Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Baseball teams now have the Nike logo on their jerseys

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.
