As they say, inevitable.

As a European football fan I can reveal it is not a big deal.

Yikes. Had a feeling it would happen sooner or later, though.

Buy your jerseys before ads are plastered on them.

I have to say, I agree. I watch football as well as rugby. In Europe, as well as in Australia, this is commonplace and it is not a big deal.

And as soon as one of the North American leagues chooses to do this the others will follow suit.

Whether or not it "is not so bad" visually ... I think its sad. Its sad that those corporations want their stupid logos & business everywhere, in our face all the time. Enough already. Glad I'm not a victim of all their marketing bullshit.

Fully agreed. I'm actually LESS tempted to by from companies who advertise aggressively.

Of course it just HAS to be the NHL who bends and breaks first. The other leagues will completely deride Bettman for his spinelessness--and then follow suit.

You know what my favourite thing about watching NHL highlights pre-nineties is? How pristine and white the boards are. Nothing is sacred.

Bizarre that you say "reveal" as though you're informing us of an objective fact. Precisely this nonchalant, complacent attitude of you and millions like you is what makes it inevitable.

I at least hope it will be a team's choice and not a league-enforced policy. I'd rather it not happen at all, but it would be nice if some teams chose not to.

Go listen to your Taylor Swift on your I-Pod and eat your McDonalds. But try not to spill any on your Tommy Hilfiger.

lol you have chosen the wrong person to apply your logic to. If all consumers were like me, consumerism wouldn't exist.

Re: Ads on Jerseys

It's true. I once observed Victor, who was dressed in hemp (hemp he had grown) overalls that he himself had sewn together, feeding his llamas oats he'd.. you guessed it, grown himself. When he saw me pull out my iPhone to take a picture, he muttered something about "young'uns with their fancy tamogochi pets", then caught a hare with his bare hands, skinned it with a knife he'd fashioned out of stone, and cooked it over a fire he started with sorcery. I offered to buy some of the hare meat for money, but Victor just gave it to me for free saying "I never saw the use of those little metal disks, and one time one of my llamas choked on one. The paper kind didn't make for very efficient kindling either."
