NYRFan Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I was prepared for worse. Don't love it but can love with it. However, guess this means the Caps scrapped that helmet with the three raised stars. Maybe they ditched the alt, too, not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty clearly a move to recoup money from the loss of gate in most buildings; I'd be surprised if this wasn't designed as a temporary measure until they can be sure of playing seasons with fans in attendance.

Damn in that case I guess nobody can complain if they put a mcdonalds logo front and center on the jerseys, I mean there's already an adidas patch on the back! Also lmao at being against intrusive advertising in every facet of life making someone a "negative nancy" Quote my point is we already get ads, the teams already work with these companies that are now on the helmet, which have had sponsors on them for DECADES... and just NOW people are complaining...

NoE38_Concepts Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 This might just be me, but I personally have no problem with these by themselves. It's not too noticeable for me.

sky1324 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 These are about as good as it could be (which still isn't good, but whatever) because the logos are already either white or in the team's colors, meaning they fit with the jerseys already. As soon as we get a Harley-Davidson/Bucks scenario or a Blue Diamond/Kings scenario where the logos are completely different colors, they'll be far too noticeable and thus bad-looking. the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the way they want to do it; and if keeping the league's finances healthy means an ad on the helmet, I don't really see the big problem here. And really, it's not like helmet logos have ever made or broken a uniform design, either. It's greed, you're just being a contrarian. You always have the worst takes. And why do you keep typing like that, have you ever noticed that nobody else does it cause it's very annoying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the manufacturers put the logos/wordmarks there for aesthetics. It's not the same thing at all and you know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an inevitability because, as it turns out, ad patches help bring in some extra bucks. And the ads so far are...Bridgestone, CapitalOne and Prudential.

Bauer is a hockey company and they actually make their own gear, Tim Horton's and Viagra aren't and have nothing to do with hockey or hockey equipment manufacturing.

Bauer using their own logo on the gear they make isn't the same as Dunking Donuts paying to have their ugly orange and pink logo on a royal blue helmet.

Greed is the main difference here Oh come off it. If I see a shirt that I like with a Nike logo on it, I'm implicitly being advertised to buy Nike shirts. CCM/Reebok/Adidas having their logo on the jersey is just as much an ad as a small CapitalOne patch on the helmet of the Caps or, indeed, a Nike-produced shirt having a Nike logo on it. It doesn't matter that they make it, it's still a company logo either way. Adidas isn't some nonprofit thing, it's a corporate entity that benefits from having its logo on to advertise the brand. You're essentially pulling at straws to say one company ad on a uniform is fine, but another isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
