I don't think I've seen this in any other leagues, regardless, it's a neat idea.
Great way to advertise while keeping a dangerous area safe for players.

Edit: Another angle added so it's more clear what's happening.

wow, took me a little bit to realize what was going on but that's pretty cool.

I was debating about circling it or taking better shots. Still watching the game so i'll get a better shot if they come up.

That is pretty cool. At first, I thought the goalie disappeared, but then I noticed the signs.

Does it only look right from that angle? I'm kind of confused...

Same. Don't really understand what I should be looking at.

Yes, it's designed to look like an upright sign-board from the specific angle of the central broadcast camera. Seen from any other angle/camera it'll be either not be visible at all or severely stretched and unreadable.
