This in from the Edmonton Oilers, news that they will have a “Play Alberta” logo on their hockey jerseys this season. PlayAlberta is the Alberta government’s sports betting corporation.
In a press release, the Oilers said: “The deal will see the Play Alberta logo featured prominently on the Oilers home jerseys and GameSense, AGLC’s responsible gambling program, displayed on the helmets of the Oilers for each home game…”
The social media reaction to the move was almost entirely negative, as Edmonton Oilers fans vented against both advertising on the sweater and the Oilers making this deal with a gambling company.
