Monty Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 The Jets, Canucks, and Islanders could skate around with Dodge covering their jersey's for all I care. I watch for the quality of hockey and my team, not the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 If each team could make an extra 10 mill a season half going to pay the players for bigger contracts I am sure the NHL and NHLPA would be OK LETS DO IT!!!Money talks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramarossa Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Sounds like a god awful idea to me, but I'll reserve judgment until I see what the final product looks like. If the logos are subtle, how is it any different than seeing a Nike swoosh, Warrior "W", or "BAUER" plastered across anyone's gear like we already do? I'm sure the NHL will make the World Cup jerseys as gaudy and hideous as those in most European leagues, but it may possible to add extra logos subtly.

chon derry Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 if this emblem thing goes through i hope they keep them off the merchandise jerseys ,that or sew them on giving the buyer the option of cutting them off ,if they iron them into the jersey that won't go over very well.

At least Nike, Warrior and Bauer actually made the gear that their logos are on. It might be advertising, but it's strictly hockey advertising and not unrelated advertising like Starbucks or JiffyLube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a little different if it's the jersey manufacturer. What I'm worried about is jerseys covered in ads like the teams in Europe. Imagine a Canucks jersey with ads for Rogers, Canadian Tire, Chevy, Tim Horton's, Safeway, etc all over the damn thing. No self respecting fan would buy one of those to walk around like a damn billboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still advertising though, just not obtuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I would custom order mine WITHOUT ads that is so stupid but would make more money meaning salary cap goes up.Saying this the players would then want a big cut of 75% owners get 10% NHL gets 15% is what you will see a fight over the money!

King Heffy Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I won't buy any merch that isn't identical visually to what's worn on the ice. I also won't buy any merch wtih ads on it. Read between the lines, NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks win the cup. 3. You go on a murdering spree due to the rage and shame of having jumped back on the bandwagon. It's that simple. Don't be a murderer. Keep on watching. There is no escape.
