And if the league needs the ad revenue that badly, here's an idea - make the TV stations pay for their fucking broadcasting rights.<br /><br />Hockey has always been a classy sport in appearances, even if the game itself gets ugly. What other sport lets players turn their helmets into intricate works of art? In what other sport do the coaches wear suits and ties (and oh, the <a href="http://www.livingbeyondreality.com/Resources/tie.jpg" rel="nofollow">ties</a> they wear)?<br /><br />---<br /><br />On a marginally related note, it makes me sad to realize that the Lightning are only a few years removed from a Stanley Cup. Balsillie "doesn't have the good character" to run a team, but the two bozos in Tampa can own one of the all-important expasion franchises? The worst part is that if they didn't have to operate on a budget to keep Koules and Barrie from going broke, the Lightning could be contenders with just a few additions (I'm thinking Tanguay and Seidenberg; Tanguay-Lecavalier-St. Louis is a beastly French connection top line, and Hedman-Ohlund Meszaros-Seidenberg would be one of the best top-4 in the league).South Shore Habs Fannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-75026482196926047622009-08-06T21:24:36.156-04:002009-08-06T21:24:36.156-04:00I can never find the players names on those Euro s...I can never find the players names on those Euro sweaters when I happen to watch some games overseas. Actually, the ads in the fucking faceoff circles are disgusting enough. Sometimes you can't even tell who's on which team! Do we really want to see VIAGRA written all over our players though?<br /><br />The Rangers tv channel (MSG?) once digitally projected ads on the glass as an overlay that was only seen on TV. That was weird...but it wasn't in the way.<br /><br />Here's a plan to save money: why the hell is Bettman making 6million dollars?!Number31https://www.blogger.com/profile/04754429306690847476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320624876513568183.post-50008263719062030352009-08-06T20:23:14.743-04:002009-08-06T20:23:14.743-04:00That is so fucking ugly that not only would I neve...That is so fucking ugly that not only would I never buy a hockey-related piece of advertising shit-crap again, but I will begin killing small animals in protest and working my way up to higher lifeforms.<br /><br />It sucks enough that ballparks and arenas change their names when a company goes bankrupt or the president is caught simultaneously stealing from orphans and molesting domestic rabbits - I don not cheer for Exxon, or for Minute Maid, or Verizon.

It's one, and one logo only across the front of the chest, and often it's aesthetically low-key enough not to disturb the overall jersey, or it ends up staying with the club for such a long period of time that it becomes hard to picture the jersey without it (as Carlsberg with Liverpool). Rather, it's the small patch above the player's heart and the colors that identify the team, which leaves the front chest-area blank enough for the advertisement to not need to overdo it.<br /><br />But advertising in hockey the way European hockey clubs do it now?

But I see where you were going. Besides, the sponsors on soccer jerseys usually look ridiculous. Crystal Palace spent a few years running around with "Virgin" plastered on their chests. Aston Villa currently sports a kid's charity called Acorns. Tottenham fans went nutso a few years back when their new sponsor (Thomson Travel)slapped an Arsenal red logo on the Lillywhite's famous all white shirt.
