We covered our name so hers could be seen. Molson sponsored the space above the numbers, forcing a jersey redesign that moved the names below the bar, allowing women’s names to be seen. By sacrificing our brand recognition, we used our sponsorship to increase women’s visibility. Then we launched the jerseys on women’s biggest hockey stage, the PWHL.
The ad showcases famous athletes wearing jerseys with their names prominently displayed. The scene shifts to women’s hockey, highlighting the issue of name visibility obscured by ponytails. As the official jersey sponsor of the PWHL, Molson covers its brand name on the jerseys to give visibility to the names of female hockey players. The ad emphasizes how this small change contributes significantly to increasing recognition and appreciation for women's sports. The visual narrative is dynamic, celebrating the impact of this sponsorship on the visibility of female athletes, culminating in the successful launch of redesigned jerseys and Molson being recognized for this impactful campaign.
