NHL to Consider Ads on Goalie Jersey's

If this allowed look for the future of NHL jerseys and uniforms to look like this.

I am all for it. I think it would be a great way for teams to get extra money to afford higher paid players.. I think with the correct marketing it could really bring more and better TV coverage for the League...I am 100 percent for advertising on players...It has alot of positives and I cant think of any drawbacks this has...

If its such a great idea-why limit it to just goalies?

Terrible Idea-the NHL makes enough money without having to resort to this.

There is salary cap in place. Teams do not need extra money to catch that elite player. They already know what their budget is going to be. I'm all for not advertising on the uni's. I don't want to feel like I'm at some Nascar convention.

Horrible idea. It says so in the story...up to $30million for the NHL...that's a mere $1mil per team. What's the point?

I think it is a horrible idea as well, although, I think it might improve some of the teams jerseys. *Cough* Ducks *Cough*

Oh for the love of Dog, no...

Haven't they been threatening this in baseball for years now? Hopefully the same thing will happen in the NHL.

They don't get enough of the ads all over the boards? I'm with the one who said they'd be looking like a bunch of Nascars skating around the ice. Nooo thanks!

[TooCool]

Oh god, please no.

I already can't stand some teams arena using GLOWING ads. Stars and Yotes are two examples. If you look along the ads on the boards, near the faceoff dot on each end of the rink near the goalies, there will be an ad that has a blue colored light to it.

We already have 4 extra ads on center ice, that's on the ice. The foreign teams have it on every part of the damn ice. We don't need extra ads anywhere.

Who really looks at the ads anyway and go... "Ohhh Toyota! I'll go buy a car." or, "McDonalds! That sounds great!"
