Chicago Blackhawks ruin their historic red home jerseys with gambling ad sponsor
Chicago Blackhawks introduce first jersey patch sponsor in team history
The Chicago Blackhawks will have a jersey patch sponsor, and the team announced on Thursday the official sponsor- which has stirred plenty of controversy online.
Were the Blackhawks' historic home jerseys just ruined?
A multi-year partnership with a sports betting/gambling company will be slapped on the front of the teams' home jerseys, starting in 2024-25. Venture Circa Sports will be the official sponsor on home red jerseys.
"Sports betting has continued to grow in popularity among our fans and offered new ways for them to engage with our game," Blackhawks president of business operations Jaime Faulkner said in a statement. "We couldn't be prouder to be adding Circa Sports to the Chicago Blackhawks roster of partners as they share in our goals to grow interest in our game and offer fans exciting and original experiences."
