Datsuyk playing for the Red Army during the 2012 lockout.
Doesn't seem too bad.

I knew it! Heritage classic jerseys were a McDonalds test run and will soon be our permanent home set

It's terrible, I hope the NHL doesn't whore themselves out like this.

Nope. Even that is no good.

Only if we get a McDonalds in the Saddledome I will allow it.

A Russia v. Canada Heritage Classic would be fun. Dunno if the Russians have enough NHLers to field a team.

I do notice when it's a company like 5 hr energy as pointed out above. However I don't notice when it's a Nike swoosh beacuse they do it with style. Just like I don't notice reebok on the jerseys now.
Although I have noticed certain jersey collectors being peticular about which reebok logo they have. Authentic Flames jersys were on sale for $100 when reebok went from the symbol to the wordmark.

Approximately $4M per team, or $120M total.

NHL execs "estimated they might raise" $4M per team by "allowing corporate sponsors to put their logos front and centre on jerseys."

Or David Jones.
Hardly seems worth it to cheapen your logo.

I would hope that if they sell the jersey space, we'll at least still be able to buy uncluttered jerseys from the stores... Sport Chek isn't carrying any John Cornish Rona specials, maybe we'll get lucky with hockey too.

You buy a Barcelona jersey, it says Emirates. You can't get a plain one.

Here I was worried about what bad influences my son will be introduced to.. Now this?
Super lame.
If they are going to clutter up the jerseys I will just keep my blank retro as is and staple homemade construction paper nameplates on for whichever player I like at the time.
Definitely not buying that garbage

A Barcelona jersey with Emirates on it is definitely a knockoff

Cheapening the Brand only matters, if it stops people from buying the product. If it doesn't, the brand was not cheapened.
- Are people going to stop going to games or tuning in to TV if this happens? I'd say not a chance, so no worries there.
- Are people going to stop eating and drinking at the games if this happens? Not a chance I'd say.
- Are people going to stop buying Flames merchandise that's not Jersey's if this happens? Again, I doubt it.
- Are people going to stop buying Jersey's if this happens? Maybe. This is seemingly the only risk, and I'd wager for close to everyone, they will come around eventually. All it's going to take is the next Johnny Hockey to come around and join the team after this becomes a reality and almost everyone talking tough is going to cave cause they just have to have his jersey. And even if sales do drop, they have to drop by more then what the ad revenue brings in.
Given the above, pretty low risk move for the NHL, they almost have to try it, it would be bad business if they didn't.
