For the first time ever, the NHL will have advertisements on their jerseys, similar to the NBA. The NHL board of governors unanimously voted to approve the ad policy days ago, allowing teams to have 3-inches-by-3.5-inches of ad space. Each team will ultimately have the final say in who gets their ad space, as they negotiate with potential partners.⁣ ⁣ The NHL expanded advertising opportunities for teams last season, with brands featured on helmets and in vacant seats that were visible on TV. Commissioner Bettman said that teams made more than $100 million as a result of those ads and are hoping that the jersey ads make even more.⁣ ⁣ [source: @sportico]⁣ [image credit: @sportslogosnet]⁣ ⁣ #afrugalathlete #NHL #advertisements #marketing #moneymanagement
