So my post was called stupid and now my favourite rugby team sucks (this point is completely true but still depressing). I think I need to read the Edmonton is no good thread to cheer up.

Regarding the Reds jerseys, I don't really like the St. George ads, I preferred when they were sponsored by Queensland Rail and had an appropriate QR on the jersey.

Also, here is an interesting article from THN on the history of jersey ads in professional hockey. The Halifax Mooseheads are a great example of a corporate logo on a jersey and it is hilarious the Hershey AHL team was once called the B'ars.

My last point in this thread: Playing hockey growing up we always had team sponsor ads on our jerseys and the link above shows there is also a history of it in professional hockey. If the Flames have a large sponsor which helps contribute to the success of the team why not put a small logo on the shoulder or right chest. I am not saying I want it and will love it but it will not "ruin" the jersey like some are suggesting.
