How important is it really on the grand scheme of things? People were probably outraged that the nice clean white boards became fodder for Mighty Taco and Tim Horton's at one time. problem would be in the marketing the goods to the public. every sponsor change would require a jersey redo... And recently post pubescent peeps would fork over cash annually to have thier favorite players jersey with the 'Charmin" logo over the right elbow.

It's not super important, but it does affect how the game looks on TV, which affects ratings.

People won't watch hockey because of a Clearasil logo? They weren't gonna watch anyway then.

"Hey... Do you watch hockey on tv?"

"nope"

"Can I ask you why?"

"I can't stand the Vagacil Logos on the jersey's"

Honestly, I like how the Barclays premier league does it
One sponsor, call it good. Not the yellow pages.

If the league features games with two teams playing in uniforms like the ones I posted above, then yes, it absolutely affects how it looks on TV. It also affects jersey sales.

Do you think the NHL will go that route? Or have small corporate patches on the shoulder and maybe a sticker on the helmet like AHL teams already do? If that's all they do, no problem.

I don't think they will get that bad for the reasons I've stated.

Me too. A small patch won't hurt anything in my opinion. Or, a large, single sponsor like they do in European soccer won't hurt much. Though I hope the main crest of the jersey remains the teams logo.

Jersey sales spkie after every corporate sponsor drop. Everyone will want the new Eichel "Viagra" jersey.

Sukie must be a NASCAR fan who is already brainwashed into accepting advertising on every square inch of available space.

Fans will want the most up to date jersey of thier favorite player. Brainwashing isn't necessary.

You don't think there's brainwashing involved in convincing fans to throw out a perfectly good $120 jersey in favor of the new one so they can be a billboard for the correct corporation? Gimme a ****ing break. That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Hell, people still wear Slug jerseys because they don't want to spend on new ones and everyone hated that logo. You can't seriously expect those people to replace their jerseys because the corporate logo changed.

Perfectly good jersey's get tossed every personel move made.

Every redesign... New purchases

every new third... Cha ching goes the register.

there are many here that purchased the slug.

So why would someone want an old jersey that is fashionably outdated?

Now if it's a blank. That is a different story. Surely there will be aftermarket "Fleet Enema" patches made available.

As far as the nascar thing. The logos appear on the cars and racing suits... I would feel like a real tool wearing a racing suit to a race.

BTW... no interest in cars making perpetual left turns ad nauseum.
