randyc Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The jersey debuted in their 10-0 win over Switzerland at the Hlinka Gretzky Tournament in Edmonton. The picture below shows they're using the font Nike produced for the Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's utilized to demonstrate inclusivity since most kids growing up only wear black equipment because many of them can't afford to pay for the constant color changes of teams that is becoming a trend in minor hockey. At least that's how I've always seen it. It's nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black has been part of Canadian National Team identities for a long time, in quite a few sports. I don't know why people think the colours of a team need to match 1:1 with the colours on a flag.

Sodboy13 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It's not good, but it's as good as you can probably get with a Nike hockey jersey these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Is it new? I'm pretty sure I already saw that jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoE38_Concepts Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I usually hate the prominence of black over red, but I really like these. They're nice and clean, although I wouldn't mind seeing more white on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm searching and it is almost the same jersey they use since 2016 except new font, Canada patch on shoulders and Maple Leafs all over a sleeves: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmick Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I like it. It reminds me of the Ottawa Senators 1992 uniform, which I thought was a good looking uniform (especially the black one). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davideo Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 What are they wearing around their necks? They don't look like neck guards and I've never seen players at that age/level wear neck guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 2018, I’m not judging–Hockey Canada can do whatever they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placebo Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Apparently I dreamed Hockey Canada making gold an official colour. I like these uniforms. Not every uniform needs to be retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tournament is U-18 so I think that's the highest level that they are mandatory (I could be wrong) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
