BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) I remember the big ass Subway ad they did at MSG. I don't know about you, but if I'm watching a hockey game with a few beers, and I see a Subway ad... 1st intermission, I'm going to Subway and getting my hands on a big fat sangwich.

henrik40 76 Report post Posted February 13, 2010 I mean sports are changing. If the NHL teams don't change, the league will be left even further behind the other major sports than they are now. A couple of digital ads for a few more bucks doesn't bother me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 So the real question is how do we fight FSN on this? Is there a fan protest set up anywhere? I would get involved. At least make a call and an email. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickeyisms Rule! 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 FSN caught a lot of flack on the ads the first time- they made them overpower the brightness of the ice and they had no transparency to them at all. Looks like they got the message. The ones in tonight's game had some transparency to them and they didn't look like banners strung up on the backside of the glass. I can deal with them. I would prefer they weren't there. I imagine that this would be a home game only thing because they would probably run into troubles with the away arenas. I may find myself looking forward to away games if that is the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tdinc 45 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 Jeers to FSN and the Red Wings for pulling this garbage. Its just plain stupid and annoying... pretty soon its going to look like this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Maybe the NHL should allow companies to stencil their company names on the players' teeth. Then when a player looses teeth, the company has to pay for them to be replaced, or people would be reading things like B GER KING or F CK MY BIC. It would save the league on dental bills. Something to think about. Edited February 14, 2010 by 55fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elriqo28 2 Report post Posted February 14, 2010 if it keeps all the games on FSN im fine with it. Obviously they are struggling with advertising and this is just a way to get more money from those businesses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted February 15, 2010 I just don't get the rational. Like all the ads that are on now aren't enough??? We hear the words Belle Tire more then we hear our own names in the course of a year. What purpose is putting it up there? As for all of you people who are like just ignore it. What will we have to ignore next? It was annoying, and doesn't actually do anything but distract. If anyone has the number to Fox Sports Detroit, I say we start calling and complaining. It is the only course of action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
