Weird that the logo on the tail of the plane appears to be hockey...

You are correct. The logo is not the San Jose Sabrecats, it's the San Jose Sharks, the NHL team.
San Jose Sharks ink 'seven-figure' sponsorship deal with Fry's Electronics http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2013/09/17/national-...

Both teams played (or play) at the SAP Center (San Jose Arena). Probably, the 747 tail advert was a deal-clincher, goodwill/promotion gesture or both. It makes a lot of sense to drive/cross-promote advertising, sponsorships and other business into a common ecosystem.

As it happens, I used to hang out with the Sabercats and (now former) Saberkittens at (undisclosed) because of a Stanford hookup. Since I don't find drinking fun anymore, I'm old and boring now. :)
