Edmonton has not done this since the league allowed it a few years ago, but that changes this season. Play Alberta will be the ad on the home jersey.

Ruining an all time classic jersey for a few more Katz bucks.

Sure, still sucks though. I accept ads all over the rink, the boards, the cabbie gambling odds in the intermission, the pop up ads replacing the scoreboard…just want the players uniforms left alone. Might as well put a giant Doritios logo on the Stanley Cup next.

I'm old enough to remember when soccer jersey's in Europe didn't have sponsorships on them, however when Snapdragon are willing to pay $225 (US) for 3 years worth of sponsorship to a club it's not something you'd turn down.

Now obviously this isn't going to be anywhere near that, but if in the coming years companies are going to pay a fair chunck to have names on jerseys and it helps the club out financially then so be it.

I'm a sucker for tradition and losing the clean look of our jersey's is sad, but you know what we'll get used to seeing it on the jersey so soon that we'll sort of ignore it quickly enough.

This actually pisses me off...you think making money hand over first during the playoff run by gouging your fans with insane ticket prices would by enough to prevent the team from selling out and ruining the jersey for a few mil a year but nope

I'm for anything that gets revenues up, and in turn the cap! Since we are about to pay McDavid, Drai Nurse and Bouch a combined cap hit of 48M or so.


There's more space on the jerseys being wasted! More gambling ads! What site is Gretzky doing ads for these days?

To add a further comment, I completely forgot last night to mention that whilst I can't see ad's going away and that I don't want to see NHL hockey shirts like those that populate the European leagues.

Choosing a gambling company isn't a good look. Certainly here in the UK, football clubs (I use this as it's the biggest sport) clubs have stopped having drinks sponsorships on jerseys and the current push is to stop them using bookmakers or online gambling companies on the jerseys.

It's already at the level where clubs junior teams up to the age of U21 won't have a sponsor or will have a different sponsor to the senior team if it's a gambling related sponsor.


The other thing is that the Oilers jersey's have had sponsorship of a sort on them for years now anyway, in the form of the logo of the company making the jersey. The league wide deals to make them was effectlively sponsorship.

This here. We have a team that is in dire need of a few huge Cap bumps. Bring it on, the more revenue the better.

The jersey you buy in the store will be ad free, and if you want to buy a game worn jersey you will get the ad. The Oilers held out longer than I thought and I am not sure there is a professional sport in the big 5 that does not include jerseys ads. Soccer/Football have been doing this since the 70's.

The sport and the business are two things that both coexist in the same entity. For better or worse, and they often clash, each builds off of the other. Money means better hockey. Hockey means better money.

That said there are times when the money means we get ugly and ewww eye sores like today.

An oil company would have been better than a gambling one that’s for sure.

But the gambling ads on a Kane jersey make for better fodder.

I think everyone will just have to get used to it as sports leagues perpetually look for more revenue sources, and sponsor names on team jerseys is something I am well used to as a regular follower of English football.

Harsh, and I hope this is tongue in cheek. If we cannot see the passion of the players, the effort on the ice and beautiful game we all cheer for over the ads on the board, jersey's and helmets then that's on the individual.

Harsh but honest. In a conflict between the sport and the cash, the cash will always win now. There's a reason we talk so much about contract length and cap space and gambling ads on jerseys. Even with jersey ads, I still enjoy hockey.
