oh look, someone else that doesn't get it!

I get it. But the foot stompers need to get OVER it. Teams don't care about your memories. If they did they would have made some new ones by now.

I guess I don’t understand why if it’s so deeply personal for you the ads would matter one way or another.

Maybe if it’s the product being tied to the logo? Is it a problem with rbc itself?

- ChrisMS



it has nothing to do with RBC, ads are already displayed everywhere, and the habs don't need these additional ones on the jersey to survive financially.

I mean saying "you don't get it" to people is always a great way to start an intellegent conversation.

Just be happy it isn't st hubert or jiffy lube.

Well, I guess you missed the point, it's not about fashion but about what the jersey represents...

It is professional sport. It represents money. That’s all.

My point is you're getting mad at an entity who doesn't care about their own legendary brand. Legacy sports teams sold their souls years ago. This is the cherry on top.

Not telling you at all. I don’t like it. It’s just the start though. There will be more. All the teams care about is making money. They don’t care what you or I think.

I'm fully aware that the owners are greedy bastards, doesn't mean I have to be cool about it.

it has nothing to do with winning or losing. as a matter of fact if it gets to the point where the habs logo just becomes lost among other corporate logos I might not be following the team anymore since I won't be able to tell what the (frank) I'm cheering for lol...

Same goes for the language aspect of the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge.

It will be nearly impossible to see the ads when watching games on TV or in the stands. Quite sure jersey sales won't change since they won't have them ads on them.

1/ they will have them

2/ you can chose to not have them on (but if you keep it RBC will make a one time donation)

3/ Sucks if you want a game-worn jersey, no options

4/ In the near future, I predict you will still be able to buy a jersey without ads, but my bet is that will be a special order and it will cost more.

This is where we are going....

I think I’m more pissed at RBC. I do most of my banking there. I don’t want them giving one penny to that pos organization.
