randyc 350 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chromatic 2,476 Posted August 8, 2018 1 hour ago, bwburke94 said: Oh god no, not more BFBS... It isn't. 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sodboy13 5,686 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoE38_Concepts 1,668 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gimmick 104 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davideo 11 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s 2018, I’m not judging–Hockey Canada can do whatever they want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 293 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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