On-uniform sponsorship has continued to grow, migrating from international football to most major North American sports league, including the NHL. Starting in 2021, the NHL allowed teams to sell helmet sponsorships, and shortly after in 2022, teams were able to take the ice with jersey patch partners too.
Not every NHL team has taken advantage of this partnership opportunity, but many teams have one or more sponsor logos on their home jerseys and/or away jerseys. Going into the new NHL season, these are the NHL teams with jersey patch sponsors.
Social media data is based on team Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube content during the 2023/24 regular season (10/10/23 – 4/19/24). Social value is calculated based on impressions, engagements and video views using industry standard CPM, CPE and CPV values. Follower count is combined Twitter, Instagram and Facebook followers at beginning of 2024/25 season.

Roughly 72% of the league has at least one jersey patch, leaving only nine teams without one a month ahead of the 2024/25 season. With the market for this sponsorship asset well established now, the remaining teams might be interested in signing one soon to maximize their partnership revenue this year.
