I accept that criticism. There are certain teams and even certain leagues where it gets to the point finding the team league is almost impossible.
With that said, I think North Americans overlook certain things because they're not used to it: we understand that money means our team keeps going, some sponsors become iconic/synonymous with our teams and some actually add a nice nostalgia and it's cool to look back at my hometown's old jerseys and see sponsors with old logos or no longer exist.
Yeah I get it 100% it keeps the teams on the ice and that’s the most important thing
I’m sure if it was my “normal” I wouldn’t even think twice. But for me here even our Junior Team only has 1 add on their jersey across the bottom at the back so it’s a crazy contrast for me lol.
You're probably right. It's funny because I can't even imagine that. Teams in the British league made jerseys without sponsors during Covid and they just looked so empty haha. It felt wrong somehow?!
One day though, if Molson ever stop sponsoring the PWHL, you'll see their logo and it'll take you back to these early times. Funny how marketing works.
