Roger Clemente Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I'm actually loving it. I don't know know why, but I want to buy one. This is more like Boston yellow, which I like, than Nashville puke, which is ugly.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

puckcool22 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Wow, those are more hideous in action.And what happened to the US wearing their "retro-inspired" jerseys? Granted, those suck too. exactly what i was wondering- maybe its cause their is no white version of their retro blue jerseys. I personally love the usa's retro blues. However I think team usa should just wear the 1980 jerseys for every international event- especially witht he blue nameplate on the white jersey!

Dear god no.Especially not with the contrasting nameplate. Gross.The jerseys they wore in 2002, and wore against Canada in those pictures, are great jerseys. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

GMac Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 fellas relax these are replicas of Canadas first Olympic Gold back in 1920... they didnt have much fashion sense back then... could they have done a differnt colour than yellow yes... but then whats the historic signifigance, and whats wrong with Canada on their back... hockey is about the team not the individual and besides thats what was on the back in 1920... so dont think of this as a fashion statement, but as a nod to our hockey heritage... we'll be back in the 2002 Gold Medal version soon enough GDB...

Survival79 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 But the name plate all saying Canada??? no way...I didn't like that either. I'd rather have seen them go nameless than have the country name on the back of the sweater. Something tells me that the original 1920 jerseys didn't have player names on the back:Also, here is the Pepsi can mentioned in a previous thread: We are wolves • Under the moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 the Canada Steelers actually didn't look that bad out there. You figure the USA throwback blues will be worn against either Russia or Slovakia.

tajmccall Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 they are wearing them after the olympics to remind everyone who won gold in 02.canada always was known for being really, really cocky, and not self-effacing, but this is ridiculous.or...?

etown Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 http://www.canadianhockey.ca/e/teams/mens/...news/wc011.html?Canada has a long-standing history of great success in International competition and we are again honouring the past by wearing this vintage jersey of the 1920 Winnipeg Falcons, a team that defied the odds and earned gold,? said Bob Nicholson, President, Hockey Canada. ?These historic jerseys honour not only the 1920 team, but also every past Canadian international hockey team, men?s and women?s, and every player, coach and fan that has ever been a part of Team Canada?s tradition of hockey excellence.?I was about to completely go off on this move by Hockey Canada. They are constantly wearing these retro jerseys as a "tribute" to their past, when we all know what it really is: A blatant cash-grab with a jersey that is just another addition to the gazillion current and retro Canada Hockey jerseys flooding the market. And we lap it right up in Canada.However, I guess I have to somewhat hold off my criticism on this one, because, as I read on, I discover:Hockey Canada will allocate the royalty proceeds from each jersey sold to a name fund within the ?Canadian Hockey Foundation?, recognizing the 1920 Winnipeg Falcons. The Canadian Hockey Foundation provides secure, sustainable, long term funding to support the future development and delivery of Hockey Canada programs, projects, and activities.So at least it's going towards a cause and is not for profit. But still, I've really had it with Canada Hockey and their retro jerseys. It's become very contrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-O Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 There is a shoulder patch I saw while watching the game, it looked hella retro but I couldn't read what it said. It's the black one with yellow writing. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeJ Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 i may be wrong, but i think the original team who won gold WAS the winnipeg falcons entire roster... hence why the ugly ugly jerseys are yellow and black, and not canada's colors.but anyway, i normally dislike how canada uses so much black, when it's not in their flag... this makes me accept black team canada's jerseys a lot more.... but still, if sweden can get by with wearing only flag colors, surely canada could pull off something cool... at least they have white at their disposal.and i think more canadians would hate this jersey, if they'd lost tonight but anytime they beat up on us poor yanks, they cherish everything about the experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
