I’ve always hated ads on hockey sweaters, and I hate it even more now that it’s a sports betting company. Keep this crap off our sweaters.

if I ever get a jersey like this, I’d probably get a tailor to remove that patch

This is it. The best jersey in sports is now tarnished. This is disgusting. I would understand some small market teams struggling but not Original Six teams selling their dignity for a couple of home games revenue. I am not buying new jerseys I guess.

Can’t even link to Circa’s proper website. What a shit show. I fucking hate ‘em

Aside from the fact that I think it sucks in general that our jerseys are getting tainted by these ad patches (and I hope they’re not going to be included on retail jerseys by default), I’m kind of surprised that they ended up with Circa Sports with the fact that FanDuel has a Sportsbook and a suite right in the United Center. Plus I wish that the over promotion of sports gambling in the media and by the leagues themselves would stop in general.

This sucks. Not only is it a disgusting ad on a beautiful jersey but it had to be a gambling ad…
CreatureMike94
Tempted to downvote this out of spite, but fuck me that is absolutely disgusting, jersey ads are gross on top of that it’s for sports betting? Fuck off you hacks this is tarnishing the jersey
maybesethrogen
Absolutely fucking garbage. Bad enough its a jersey ad, but it fucking HAD to be for fucking sports betting. Trash.
TheSchwartzHawkey
Here’s another thought: I really really hope this doesn’t apply to our Winter Classic jerseys, I hope they at least keep those clean of this filth then they release the special edition jersey later this year.

Fanatics and a jersey sponsor. Pass

Does this mean the Away jersey will remain pure or have a different sponsor?

Fuck this. What a shame. We’re O6, not some backwater southern team

Not a fan AT ALL, especially the fact it’s a betting company.

Pretty soon the NFL will somehow be the last bastion of not selling out completely to ads
pamodent
i wish whoever decided to put adds on jerseys dies and goes to hell no matter what.
EstimatedProphet72
Of course it’s a gambling ad. So dumb.
EddyTheDesigner
Glad I got my Bedard jersey already because I refuse to buy that trash. Sell outs.

Ugh. Gross. I likely wasn’t going to buy a sweater this year anyway, but this makes the decision waaay easier.
I still remember when they were talking about legalizing sports betting, and there were people arguing that anyone against the idea was some sort of prude. Then it got legalized and pretty much exactly what the « prudes » said was going to happen happened.
Now, there were some people arguing that ads on jerseys aren’t a big deal. It brings more money to the league, which is a good thing. Well, we’re going to start seeing why ads on jerseys are a big deal. This is only the beginning.
Slippery slope exists. No matter who is trying to tell you it doesn’t.

A fucking travesty for no reason but pure greed.
Fuck you, Danny!!

The revenue from superimposing ads over every square inch of the ice wasn’t enough?

Fuck you Danny Wirtz. Seriously. Why does a billion dollar franchise that thrives on its history need more money by tarnishing its brand image further with this gambling dogshit?
