I’ve got nothing to say till I see ours.
Are all teams getting ads on jerseys?
Lol, yeah, you think the Chicago Blackhawks won’t have a Wintrust patch on theirs?
The Leafs had TikTok on their helmets last year, this is not worse. Lol
Are people surprised? The league can’t market themselves worth shit. We’re witnessing a generation of greatness from Ovi/Crosby to McDavid/Matthews and they almost all have the personality of a wet blanket. And if anyone does try having a personality boomer fans led by Don Cherry complain about it so they stop. Notice how the NFL, NBA, and even the MLS lapped the NHL at this point. They’re players have fun and market themselves. Hockey isn’t “get pucks deep, but shots on net” anymore. I’ve heard that same thing from when I first started getting into it 18 years ago. The game is fun, I love the NHL, and the playoffs (MLB too IMO) are the best playoffs. But no star players are marketable. And that’s because they’re told not to have a personality.
Can’t wait for the Montreal RBC McDonald’s Nike Canadiens versus the Ottawa BDO Tim Hortons Bell Canada Farm Boy Senators games in five years.
Leafs better fucking not
Give it 5-10 years and the NHL jersey will look like the european leagues. Ads anywhere they can put em…..smh.
If nothing else, their sponsor should have been Molson
If you’re gonna go with a bank, why not Bank of Montreal?
Toronto should pick Maple Leaf Hot Dogs.
>“A disgrace to the original 6”
I hate ads on jerseys as much as the next guy but wasn’t the original 6 era as long as it was because owners were greedy and wanted as little revenue competition as possible
HERE’S AN IDEA:
A company should sponsor a team and in the place where they would put a logo put.. nothing. It would be a great publicity stunt as the news would love to report it (good press) and the fans would like the company because they don’t wreck their team’s jersey
Wow look at that massive logo. Can’t even see the jersey it’s so big. Amazing how it’s just one RBC patch and nothing else.
LOL The players will look like Nascars in 15 years
We need Gary Betaman to fucking retire already. He’s a fucking embarrassment!
If it helps the Canadian teams generate revenue especially in the smaller markets, don’t see it as totally bad.
The original six is tiresome and this is coming from a Blackhawks fan.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
It begins.
Booooooooo!!!
Haha the delusion of every fanbase believing they won’t see these on their favourite team’s jerseys soon.
I want the salary cap to go up
Disgusting
Put em on the helmets or pants jerseys are special
The sponsors were supposed to recoup lost revenue from losing attendance for 2 years. That’s over now, no more sponsors. Why does a multi billion dollar league need sponsors?
If these made jerseys or ticket prices cheaper, I wouldn’t be bothered so much.
Are the players names on the back also
A disgrace? Last time I checked the original six teams did not have name plates on them, nor did the Habs have any for 22 of 24 cups
It doesn’t matter and nobody will care after a few games
Really? Not even BMO?
They already were a disgrace
I always did like me a Spangler’s cup jersey. Get it over with.. drop a dozen sponsors
I honestly don’t hate the ads. Just not on the Store bought jerseys
Bring back the two line pass while you’re at it
Huh? Who the frick cares? There is so much advertising in the league anyways…
What a fuckin joke.
Leafs fan here.
I just shook my head so hard I almost broke my neck.
Edmonton won’t put ads on their jerseys yet all the rich teams will.
Fuck timeless traditions I guess eh?
The worlds going to shit
Gross
Copied my comment from another post:
» ….and tonight Igor Shesterkin’s goalies crease is brought to you by Raid: Shadow Legends »
« … see here Sam, the play starts with kreider’s push across the Budwise red line after winning that puck battle along the boards and then the quick pass across the Geico Insurance neutral zone to Zibanejad »
Does this mean fan jerseys will have the logos?
Not tiddy bank?
I think the rampant sexual and domestic abuse is more of a disgrace than a little ad but maybe that’s just me
I hate it.
I understand the sentiment. But tbh, as well as hockey fan, I’m a huge soccer fan. It’s a Canadian bank…whatever? This is all over soccer…at least you don’t have controversial owners/sponsors with “Visit Dubai” all over the front; or an away jersey the same colour as the Saudi Flag (ahem…Newcastle United). Give it a year, all teams will have controversial/non-controversial sponsors on the jersey…nobody will bat an eyelash.
