Agree to disagree... I concur.

Love it when you talk dirty... What else you got... I can take it

Y'r a poo poo head!

I'm talking about you paralelling your love for other european based sports that have used advertising in jerseys etc for some time... And you're used to it... "Nothing to see here... Its fine. It's normal, it's the real world... Get over it.

I would go out if my way to support thus team financially just to support bucking the trend. If TD advertised as you suggested, I go open an account to support their directive... But now my statement of dissatisfaction will be made by not spending money on the team and not having an account with TD. That's something anyway... This sucks!

Fancy pants! Must be a scholar So my statements confuse you?... Seem perfectly clear to me. Let's settle our differences over tea in the courtyard kind sir... Ta ta.

Exactly

Doesn't mean you just have to bend over and take it 'real world'... You me apathy.

I specifed in my post... The North American big four major league teams Not talking European anything. Part of why I've loved our north America sports and what set them apart from the rest of the world corporate sell outs has been the purity in our sports not choosing corporate direct influence... At least in one place,the final place... The jersey. Isn't it enough, with commercials, stadium names, board advertising, advertising in stands, concession advertising etc?... No it has to be the jerseys too!! Well that's over. You don't seem to mind. Sad to me... Then you just shrug our shoulders and go on well. Just because you're 'used to it' means that's okay.

So what!!! That makes it okay?! Lesser leagues... This is supposed to be a major League team. NFL, MLB, NBA... And NHL? Not anymore...

Thanks for that EP.l. What this tells me is, "for now we'll give you an option... But in the not to distant future, if you want an 'authentic' club jersey, it comes with the patch.... If you don't like that, then buy a knock off."

Yah I realize that. Just meant to leave it on the helmet alone... I knew this was coming... Just sad to see it now a reality. Sad day is all. Enjoyed the good old days were we could escape corporate marketing being shoved down our throats... Slowly but surely they find ways to make us notice no matter where we look. Anyway... Apathy setting in if I choose to remain a spectator. Lol! First World problems I guess.

Well... Hopefully that's the case. Wait and see. Would appreciate confirmation on this.

They should have left the advertising on the helmet. As fans... Now we purchase a jersey with advertising. We don't purchase helmets... Catch my drift. So yah, I can buy a jersey and remove the advertising I suppose... But its the principal of it. Not a fan... And now less of my money will go towards NHL and this team.

Sad day in history here.... Stands out way to much. Exactly what I have feared. Man... Making it harder to be a fan of this game.

....this is what it feels like being a canuck fan right now.

Pfffft!!!... This sucks! Is Martin in net? Does it matter?! Okay, okay... Nucks 3-2 Ot Podz

Unfortunately I'm both a Seahawks fan and canuck fan... Nucks being my first love.... So when the Hawks traded or waved the remaining legion of boom... I knew there would be a rebuild at some point but it was obvious that the team was and had been on the decline for a few years. Not a bad team but slowly sinking. That is depressing to watch your team deteriorate in front of your eyes. So I was at least happy seeing and focusing on this young and talented canuck team on the rise... Even if they took a while to be contenders, at least they're fun to watch and there's optimism. Where as the Hawks were going to take years to turn it around.... Right?! Here we are today.... The nucks look like something is really wrong with the core or something and may already be imploding... And the Hawks already have begun their rebuild with really exciting players and are getting better every week. With no pressure to win but are... And just getting better by the week. Had an epic draft this year!! Renewing sense of optimism. Guess what team I'm focusing on this year. Moral of the story.... Should have blown it up years ago and drafted well. So frustrated.

Lol.... I bumped this thread, rather than starting a new one. Felt there were enough parallels to justify bumping. Apologized for the confusion.
