I know reeboks brand is out of hockey equipment so I guess this is natural

[DetDannyWilliams]

Adida's owns Reebok

[JATMtheJATM]

Adida's owns Reebok

Yes. But reebok is getting out of the equipment business and hockey business altogether. Ccm is making the equipment now

CCM made hockey equipment long before Reebok bought them

Ugh..

Moving to a new jersey supplier may be a natural transition for the NHL to begin introducing on-jersey advertising, several league sources told TSN.
During a meeting of NHL team presidents in New York last year, league officials estimated they might raise $4 million per team – or $120 million annually – by allowing corporate sponsors to put their logos front and centre on jerseys.

On jersey advertising... No. Just no. I know it's about money in the end, but being a shill has to have its limits. I'll accept the manufacturer logo but I'll never buy a jersey with a corporate logo beyond that. Bettman and Goodell seem locked in a competition over who is more incompetent.

And ccm ceased to exist in about 2005? Reebok brought back the ccm name in about... 2013? And now reebok is going away in the hockey game.

And yes, there are major differences between reebok and ccm equipment.

[OpIv37]

And ccm ceased to exist in about 2005?

No. It always existed. Reebok just bought the right to put their logo on ccm equipment.

The equipment is/was different

Isn't the Reebok / ccm/ nike/ Adidas logos advertizing?

I don't see the big deal and the faked outrage. You "kids" will buy your favorite players jersey and there will be 10 threads each year about jersey (sweater) orders and "Who's jersey are you buying?" . I could see a nice Buffal Wild Wings logo looking rather snazzy on a shoulder or perhaps Pepto Bismol on the back near the bottom.

[JATMtheJATM]

I wouldn't care if a small shoulder patch of a sponsor was on the jersey. No problem at all.

Ever see MLS jerseys? DC United have a huge Volkswagen logo on their chest and a tiny DC United logo on their shoulder. The corporations want their logo to supersede the team's logo and it's disgusting.

Or jerseys anywhere else in the world. It is what it is. Doesn't really bother me

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.
