So, it's just going to be the arena sponsors?

At least the Scotiabank logo is red.

I think the CP logo would look great on the side of the Flames helmet

I said in an earlier thread that I didn’t mind it, but now that I’ve seen it I hate it. It looks cheap and horrible. I get why they did it, but I hate it.

I’d rather have PPV games back.

people might get the wrong idea judging by the reactions I get when I tell people I am browsing CP when looking at my phone

The Flames are working on this right now, too — Scotiabank obviously makes a lot of sense and would fit in the colour scheme.

I've been told that the NHL is internally pretty adamant about this being a one year only thing, but who knows — things can change. Teams are really hurting for revenue right now.

I don’t like it. What’s next? Ads on pucks?

Hope the application is better than just a sticker slapped on the side of a helmet. Looks terrible.

So two ScotiaBank, two Bell, two Rogers, and Canadian Tire, for the Canadian teams?

Knowing the Flames, they'll go with something like HP, Samsung or American Express.

I don't think it looks too bad and would be fine if it was there to stay.

The only thing that gives me concern is that it starts the path down a slippery slope that ends with gaudy uniforms plastered with ads.

But the helmet ads in isolation are fine in my opinion.

I guess it also looks temporary though... so that's potentially good.
