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So why would someone want an old jersey that is fashionably outdated?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

Do you ever go to the games? If so, do you pay attention to the jerseys people wear?
There are a LOT of jerseys of players who haven't been on the team for years. And I'm not talking about classics. I'm talking about guys like Briere, Gaustad and Miller for the Sabres and Peters, Takeo, Evans, Fletcher for the Bills.
So, it's disingenuous to say perfectly good jerseys get thrown out with every personnel move.
I'm guessing you're new to the sport. Welcome.

I own a white " home" blank from 1980 and a hasek black goat.

Yeah... I see alot of ROY jerseys when the Sabres are in town... NOT
I see a lot of Roy, Vanek and Pominville when the Sabres are in DC.
AT the NHL draft there were hoards of Sabres fans.... Didn't see any Roys or Pomms... Quite a few blanks which was cool. There was a lala, but mostly just t shirts... It is summer here in Florida. The point I was making... No amount of advertising on the jersey is gonna stop the ponying up for new gear and many threads started here with China knock off connection deals. That is why there are always high jersey sale numbers.
I have mentioned several times I like older, slightly off the map jerseys myself. For example, I want my next jersey to be a curtis brown or even a tsyplakov jersey
Cool. I was talking to sukie.
i know. i was backing up your point with a personal antidote.
Anecdote? Gotcha.
