hooon 1,089 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 Jerseys are too rich of a tradition in hockey. There are also waaaay too many ads as it is. I picture goalie helmets turning into the hood of a nascar car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 Why not? Because I don't think anyone really wants the Wings to look like this... Open the door to advertismenta on jerseys, and I guarantee you it's only a matter of time before it gets to be like that. This isn't NASCAR, the KHL, or some other junior league that has to turn their players into skating billboards just to scrape by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 So if the Wings would have had a 66 million dollar cap this year instead of a 56 million dollar one, you would have chosen to keep the ads OFF the jersey? A team should be able to give the league their jersey advertising revenue, up to a certain amount, in exchange for more cap space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 I'm confused at how you think allowing ads on jerseys would change the cap whatsoever. It's a proposition. What is so hard to understand? A team gives the NHL up to X million dollars of revenue generated from advertising on its jersey. The league, in return, grants the team additional cap space. The NHL can redistribute the money to struggling franchises (revenue sharing), and teams that have drafted/acquired well don't have to suffer from forced parity.

A team should be able to give the league their jersey advertising revenue, up to a certain amount, in exchange for more cap space. If the cap hit suddenly raised 10M players would also ask more as organizations could pay more and it would cause an inflation in the player market.

mjlegend 155 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 The NHL doesn't give a s*** about revenue sharing, and the NHL gives even less of a s*** about the Wings and other rich teams getting a bigger payroll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Ryan 1 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 The NHL doesn't give a s*** about revenue sharing, and the NHL gives even less of a s*** about the Wings and other rich teams getting a bigger payroll. I care! The reason the Wings had to let go of Hossa and Hudler is because teams like Phoenix and Florida can't pay their bills. I don't like the other end of the spectrum (New York Yankees) where one team generates all the revenue and can pay as much as they want to get the best players in every position, but I'm against the end of the spectrum we're at now where all the teams have to be even so the NHL doesn't have a few franchises fold.

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 Ok guys. Agree or disagree all you want, but at least add to the discussion in a constructive manner if you're going to post in the thread. What Jake is proposing isn't exactly a new or unheard of concept. Remember when Brodeur, Hasek, and others were suggesting ads on goalie jerseys? http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/304287 Mlive even had a story/blog about this in the offseason, citing a story by USA Today in it. http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2009/07/th...ing_advert.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hack & Whack Rule! 160 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 Ridonculous topic! Allow me to elaborate. Absolutely stupid idea. I'll elaborate on that, as well. Advertising revenue has absolutely nothing to do with the cap. You would still end up with some teams generating all the money (Detroit), and passing it on to suckhole teams (Florida). The cap is there to keep salary levels, teamwise, even across the board. You move more money to other teams, but everybody's income goes up, including players who will want more because the cap is higher. Just my thoughts....

The NHL has sold out enough (NBC). Unless this would equate to a significant reduction in ticket, food, merch costs (which it more than likely wouldn't), then this would be an EPIC FAIL.
