Adidas has won a long-term deal to make uniforms for the 30 NHL teams, beginning in the 2016-17 season.
Should be interesting..

Heard that the NHL is getting rid of a lot of their licensee's too, I would bet Ads on these jerseys are not far off.
From the article: "Moving to a new jersey supplier may be a natural transition for the NHL to begin introducing on-jersey advertising, several league sources told TSN.
During a meeting of NHL team presidents in New York last year, league officials estimated they might raise $4 million per team – or $120 million annually – by allowing corporate sponsors to put their logos front and centre on jerseys."
Not a fan. I'm so sick of advertisements being shoved in my face at every opportunity.

I can almost guarantee it wont be that bad, if anything they will be like the AHL which i hardly notice anymore.
Remember everyone was up in arms with numbers on the front of helmets ? does anyone notice it anymore ?

Adidas could still use the ccm branding on jerseys, right? Or did they come out and say they will use the parent company logo?
They could, but I would think the announcement would have been "CCM Sports Wins NHL Jersey Manufacturer Bid" or something along those lines.
I do not think there is anything to panic about... Michigan has already shown what an ADIDAS branded hockey jersey looks like:
...Does not bother me at all.

probably not since the pant logos are all velcro
Feel free to check out my hockey reviews, or random stuff

I hope at least the practice jerseys are still the same Edge 3.0 but with an Adidas logo instead of Reebok. That would be a nice little change I would be in favor of.

My 2-year-old loves hockey. I want her to remember the Habs sweater the same way I do.
The Habs have a small "Subway" patch on their practice jerseys. Many teams have those patches. I don't mind those. In fact, I think it's pretty neat to collect the practice jerseys that have those patches on them. For instance, there's no "Cross Insurance" (Bruins Praccy) where I'm from.
As for putting a small patch on the game jerseys like those? It'd take some getting used to.
If it becomes front and center, like a soccer jersey, I'll be mortified. I love collecting hockey jerseys. It's one of my favorite things. I would hate it if my beloved Habs sweater suddenly read "SUBWAY: EAT FRESH" front and center where only the CH belongs.
I'd hate it. I don't want to watch the winter classic watching Cross Insurance vs. Subway. At least give the original 6 an exemption. Those teams deserve to keep their uniforms largely untouched.
