Colin226 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 It's a slow day so I figured some good team news would be nice: https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/710091409643192321 Quote Health care brands continue to pay big $: @NJDevils sign Barnabas Health to biggest deal team has done in 8 years Looks like they are becoming a "Presenting Sponsor" of the Devils, akin to Chase with NYR and McDonalds with LA Kings. AmeriHealth Pavilion will be renamed the "Barnabas Health Hockey House" and team practice jerseys will carry their name/logo. We've already seen Barnabas get their logo on the ice, and they were the sponsor of Brodeur Night programming on MSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Off-ice the Devils are slowly getting into the 21st century. As Colin has said, Kings and other teams have had ads on their practice jerseys for years, so for the "OMG they are going to put ads all over the jerseys now!" crowd you can keep it at DEFCON 5.

Jerzey Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Why would anyone want to sponsor practice jerseys? Especially for teams with closed practices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils have some open practices now and they might open up more in the upcoming years. Right now the NHL controls the game jerseys while teams still control the practice ones. This is the closest these companies can come right now with putting their name on a jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 You won't see any outcry as long as they keep the advertising on practice jerseys only. Once they try to make official game jersey look like euro league clownsuits there will be serious blowback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck the Duck Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Glad the team signed a nice sponsorship deal. Don't care about the ads on practice jerseys (who sees them anyways), but the name they chose for the practice rink is just dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavilion sounds like a place where you preview the latest gadgets and other tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when the only beat writers covering our teams have the worst camera phones. I don't know why Gulitti and Chere's picture quality at practices is so abysmal lol..

I imagine the official team accounts will put up more photos etc from practices so people can see the ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and since there are currently no ads on game jerseys (that's a league thing), then this is the closest they can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck the Duck Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I would also imagine that you will see practice jerseys for sale at the team store and on line with the Barnabas Health ad on them and a customization option. As long as these ads don't make their way to the game jerseys, I'm ok with it. The new owners/management has definitely done a good job in getting corporate sponsors back into the fold, and have done a really good job of selling most of the suites in the arena (I think there are only 6 still unsold). The club/black seats in the lower bowl are still a problem though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
