Oh dear, the jersey advert "disease" has reached MSG...
https://www.nhl.com/rangers/news/game-7-named-first-ever-official-jersey-patch-partner-of-the-new-york-rangers
I like Mark Messier but "Game 7" is just going to invite tons
of memes when the inevitable happens... or doesn't happen, as
the case may be.
How long before NHL jerseys become like those in European
leagues?!

My favourite Messier story is when his family, mom, dad and
brothers and sisters, came in for a Sunday family dinner at a
restaurant where I was a bartender.
Entitled, demanding and ran the waitress off her feet, paid
the tab and left without a tip.
Nice.

Yeah, I've heard it said he's a bit of "a douchebag" (to quote
my cousin in NYC who has met him)... so there's probably a
lot more of those types of story floating around.
Great NHL player in his day though... the six Stanley Cups says
a lot about his ability back then. I'm not sure exactly what his
"GAME 7" company does exactly, but there must be plenty of $$ i
it for him.

I think the arrogance comes from his upbringing as his dad was
a lot of a douchebag. My first suspicions is "Game 7" paid
him for his name and legacy.
This is the centennial season for the Rangers so there will
be plenty of events going on, meaning plenty of publicity
for "Game 7" and plenty of dollars to be rolling in...

NYR Centennial Jersey launched... with our good friend Mr
Messier front and centre.

Lovely jersey, nice and clean. The advert patch doesn't look
too bad on the shoulder... but I'm still against it on principle!

Oh goody, yet another jersey, another 250.00 out of a fan's
pocket, it's getting ridiculous.
I agree about the advertising and it's going to get worse, a
cross between F1 and European hockey.
European ice is getting cluttered with adverts as well.
Give it a decade or two and you can probably expect to
see something like this in the NHL...

anyway!)

The Edmonton Oilers just released their latest "Alternate
Jersey" with a tribute to the Oil Industry (gack) and front a
center an ad for "Play Alberta", our government gambling site.
The cash grab goes on and on...

It's more about the cash than the game to the owners... they're
even adding two extra games to the [NHL] regular season from the
2026/2027 season under the new CBA.
I know I'm not in North America but I don't recall seeing any
fans calling for more REGULAR SEASON games anywhere!
