They aren’t that noticeable and prominent so why have them?! It’s not like euro soccer where they are the main element of the jersey. Why screw up a jersey and all the history of the game for a small little patch. Just so lame and greedy. Please let us all know the next time you turn down money that's offered to you, like a raise at your job. 5 2 4 3 Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have one for 2022-23, though (Skip the Dishes on the roads). It's kind of a sad position we're in when my first thought was "Oh that will look okay, at least the orange matches." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is an honor or whatever that someone doesn't take money offered to them, the amount you make is immaterial to the act. If you're a wageslave, get another job. 7 Quote It's where I sit.

When the NBA first put ads on their jerseys, not every team had one right away. The Oilers aren't anything special, especially since they did have a helmet ad for the 2020-21 season.

Every single team is a for-profit business. Do you think that they've never done something more unethical than having an ad on the jerseys? Having ads on the jerseys isn't as unethical as the virtual player slavery and union-busting back in the day. 2 2 2 Quote Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 It's true that if businesses only care about money, they'll do anything for an extra amount of spare change. They have more than enough money to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. They can already afford fine dining every week. They'll do it for control or whatever other motives. On the other hand, teams with decades of traditonal uniforms deserve to have the integrity of their look preserved. It also goes for new teams who are building their history as well. It goes for anyone, really. I would find it tasteless, if an already profitable franchise like the Montreal Canadiens turned some of the most sacred uniforms in the league into giant McDonalds ads. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they may already be profitable but the ads can make them more profit. Yes, the uniforms are traditional but no one is immune to the lure in this day and age. Look at Barcelona, for example. They resisted having any shirt sponsor for far longer than any other top-level team did. Not counting UNICEF, which wasn't a traditional sponsorship deal, Barcelona didn't have a front shirt sponsor until 2011. That's nearly 40 years after the first shirt sponsors started appearing. Give it time. No one is immune. Don't take this as me being in favor of it, by the way. I don't like it any more than you do. I've just accepted that it's inevitable.
