zpqmaowl Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycumbee19 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Looks like a minor league rink. What's the problem? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 So having ads on the boards isn't enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Looks like a minor league rink. What's the problem?NHL rinks usually have 4. AHL rinks usually have around 8-10. There are probably 20-25 there. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelfourThibault Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Isn't the puck gonna be hard to see?EDIT:Looked at it again, wasn't as bad as I thought.I've actually played on ice that looked similar to that, although not quite as bad. Before I played on it, I had some concerns, because as a goalie, you need to be able to pick up the puck at all times. But at ice-level, you don't even really notice the things under the ice, especially as the period goes on and ice degrades. The rink that I currently play at has a pretty big logo at center-ice, but it's almost indistinguishable at ice level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popmart Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Leagues in Europe have been doing this for years. Also, I could really go for a Hesburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Oulu Energy Arena in Finland will look like this season:http://l.yimg.com/bt...rts/iccccce.jpgCome on, man!Clearly you've never seen a hockey jersey in a European league.This is a logical extension of the advertising policy for leagues that don't rake in as much money as the NHL. They have to do what they have to do. 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...
dbadefense1990 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If it were me, I would forbid all advertisements on the actual ice. At the center zone, have the team name and arena name scripted by the face-off spots only. And when the playoffs and Cup Final come along, replace the team name with that corresponding event logo.There. Simple and wine. Why doesn't the NHL get this?
