Saintsfan Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Although he may have been absolutely awful for the actual game, one thing B*ttm*n has brought to the commisioners job in the NHL is an understanding of the importance of the off-rink activities. One of the reasons Manchester United are so stinkingly rich is that they sell merhcandise on a huge scale. Bettman realised this and nknew if hockey was gonna emulate that kind ofsuccess he needed to bring in new teams and new locations AND new cooler colors! I have to say that for a time the Sharks, and to a lesser extent the Mighty Ducks ewre about the only NHL teams to have any merchandise for sale in the UK. Now no-one does!! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 great article! From the title, I thought you were gonna talk about the color teal becoming a fad and spreading like wild fire. It was like N'Sync. Everyone around you loved it, but you couldn't wait for it to die. And then it went away without any fanfare, but you realized one day...there isn't teal (or N'Sync) anymore! Glorious!

Korkie Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I agree with the above post. It was a well-written piece and very enjoyable, but the heading was a bit deceptive. I thought it was going to be more about the spreading use of teal, but the column itself shows the Sharks marketing skill based off of the teal leading towards the NHL's overall image push of the '90s which spurred 3rd and vintage jerseys, anything marketable to make $$$$.
