At a ceremony in Dearborn, Michigan, Henry Ford is presented with the Grand Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle on his 75th birthday. Henry Ford is the first American recipient of this, an honor created a year earlier by Adolf Hitler. This is the highest honor Nazi Germany could give to any foreigner and represents Adolf Hitler’s personal admiration and indebtedness to Henry Ford. The presentation is made by Karl Kapp, German consul in Cleveland, and Fritz Heller, German consular representative in Detroit. Ford is the only American mentioned in Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf”.

You can add the Royal family to the list.
Quote:
“I never thought Hitler was such a bad chap,” said George’s brother, the former King Edward VIII, who became the Duke of Windsor after abdicating in 1936. Edward made this remark in 1970 when it was widely known that Hitler and the Nazis had directly and indirectly killed more than 40 million civilians and soldiers.
The Nazis planned to install the Duke as leader after a successful conquest of Britain. The former head of British naval intelligence said Hitler “would soon be in this country, but that there was no reason to worry about it because he would bring the Duke of Windsor over as king.”

Back on track it's "hockey sweater" not jersey. Jersey is a cow or something synthetic from New Jersey.

This insidious encroachment of American terms into the Canadian language, especially when it refers to something so important to both of Canada's national sports, must stop.

But I can see you all rolling over with the sweater ads as easily as we gave up our name for our sweater.

Isn't Edward's quote an example of one that was famously taken out of context? As in "I didn't think Hitler was such a bad chap....and then realized he was a monster". Could be wrong though.

I don't know but here's Princess Elizabeth and her sister Margaret.

The short black-and-white clip, filmed at the royals’ Balmoral estate in Scotland, shows Edward — whom the paper describes as “Nazi-sympathising” — apparently encouraging his young nieces and sister-in-law to perform the salute, before himself joining them.

Not to get off topic but before the news of the Holocaust came to light it was easy to be a Nazi sympathizer. The Treaty of Versailles in my opinion could only ever have resulted in another war.
End Rant haha
If Jersey ads led directly to the salary cap going up $2 million I think that would be worth it. Never Nascar style but there is a line you can ride that would be acceptable.

Why, it's part of our history and was well publicized. As has been said the attitude towards Hitler was different in the early years than later when the twisted results came out. There were more than a few prominent Nazi sympathizers such as Charles Lingbergh. Another part was the German heritage the Royal family had may have had some influence.

Sorry, Wills, but a pink ribbon on a jersey is different than a McDonald's logo.

According to this thread I think we have worse logos to worry about being put on jerseys than McDonald's.
And as far as ribbons are concerned, hopefully we dont get...you know...armbands...

- Napoleon was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo.
- Napoleon was born in Corsica.
- Chevrolet used to make a car called the Corsica.
- Chevrolet is the jersey sponsor of Manchester United.
