kiwi_canadian Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 It's that time of year again. The Division 1 A & B have finished up their tournaments and all of the teams in Div 1A have the Nike template from last year that everyone loved. In division 1B, Hungary, Italy and Japan have adopted the template. Poland got new jerseys and Ukraine has stuck with their jerseys for what seems like a decade now. Link is below to see them.

kiwi_canadian Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Not world juniors but I think I've found the worst example of the new Nike templates. I give you Great Britain who will be playing in the top pool this year in Slovakia: I was hoping for some miracle but alas it was not meant to be.

Unpopular opinion, but I think this looks kinda good (none of the new Nike IIHF uniforms look great). this is what the US' uniforms should have looked closer to. Not blue, white and more blue.

kiwi_canadian Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 On 1/3/2019 at 8:14 AM, ZipperClub said: Did the IIHF ban manufacturer logos or something? No. Nike does all the jerseys for the top divisions from U20 and up on men's and women's competitions. The lower divisions are done by Tackla and they usually never have their manufacturer logo on their jerseys (at least from what I have seen). If a team is relegated from the top division, they usually keep the Nike design and Tackla just produces it but with everything on it screen printed instead of sewn on (numbers and logos).

kiwi_canadian Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 New Zealand will also be getting new jerseys: The white is the new jersey, the dark was their very first from 1987. The new black one will be unveiled at the Div 3 World Juniors later in the month. "Inside the collar features the words ‘Ake Ake Kia Kaha’ – in English it translates to ‘Forever and ever, be strong.’ The phrase is part of a marching song made famous during World War Two by the highly regarded 28th Maori Battalion, along with being the haka performed by the New Zealand ‘Natives’ rugby team that toured across Australia, Egypt and the British Isles back in 1888."

kiwi_canadian Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Some updated images: New Zealand's black jersey (looks like colours are just reversed and no shoulder yoke), Bulgaria appears to have a new design as well. Iceland's white jersey, no change to Australia: Hard to get better pictures as they have only released 4 images of the games so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
