Hawks to put ads on their practice jersey.

:facepalm:

They made a deal with Giordano's pizza to put a patch on all the practice jersey's.

I shouldn't really be surprised.

Wonder how long before game jerseys go this route. At least it is not in your face like soccer jerseys.

European hockey jersey's

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Hawks eventually come out for warm-ups wearing their practice jerseys with the advertising on them. It would make the logos more valuable, that's for sure.

I bet McDonough and Blunk are pissed the Bears got to do this last year and they couldn't be the first.

Who cares? They're practice jerseys... let me know when they sell out and wear them during a real game.



And as someone said at least they aren't like Euro jerseys... aka, "Skating NASCARS".

Hun, I was just going to say this was a little to Nascarish for me.

This shouldn't surprise anyone and it's just a practice jersey so far. I don't think they can put them on the regular game jerseys so we are safe for now.

I could care less as long as it doesn't end up on a game jersey and as long as it doesn't cover up the Indianhead...



(personally I think the practice jerseys are ugly anyways...)

They are exclusive to the Golden Eels.

This sucks, I like practice jerseys, I actually own a black one from back when it was Hawks Quarters (bought to play beer league) and yeah this sucks.

I agree.I'll worry when they show up on game jerseys,which should be never :naughty:

Instead of putting ads on jerseys, they ought pump the United Center with audio and visual ads all over the place -- scoreboard; signage; audio; walls; programs....



Isn't there over-saturation? I'm surprised that anyone would pay for the ads, but then I'm in the minority that goes without pay TV.
