Satans Hockey Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Minor league hockey teams, including the AHL have been doing ads on helmets for years. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been introduced sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that door opens, it will never shut and only get worse.

Chuck the Duck Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 And it won't be long before the rinks look like this ... Jesus ... what a mess. Talk about sensory overload at European hockey games. People in the US can't track the puck on TV as it is, can you image how bad it would be if this was the ice surface at NHL rinks?

DevsMan84 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 NA crowds, and to a bigger extend NA sports media, tend to be less accepting of ads mixing with sports than most other parts of the world. I doubt the NHL or any of the other major leagues goes to that level based on that point alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well drop the State name and just call the team the McDonald's Devils if that ever happened. Not that they haven't already done that with the arenas...

They use crisis to push their own agenda and force new policies or wtv that seem necessarily at the time but they never take it back. As if once they see all that extra revenue coming that they'll turn it down down the line. With things like this you REALLY gotta nip it in the bud or else it's going to snowball out of control 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, in terms of arena names, I’ve always wanted to see the Trojan ENZ Arena, and they go up on the roof and add a little reservoir tip to the top of the building. I would be a fvcking fun owner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well precisely. Having company logos on gear or jerseys for team is basically setting them up for easy jokes on a silver plater. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
