I would hate this, and I say that as a huge soccer fan. Hockey jerseys are such a beatuiful and symbolic part of the game, many with lots of history. Its probably inevitable though. I can only hope that when it happens, its at least somewhat tastefully done. If they ever remove the logo on the chest in favour of ads it would be a tragedy.
