So the US is a blue lids team now? They were a white lid team for as long as I recall. Or did IIHF finally get rid of their stupid one helmet rule. Now they just need red breezers.

I think they're wearing blue helmets full time. I also prefer the blue pants because it helps keep it different from the rangers.

 I recall one reason why the USA only had white helmets was because they were having issues with the helmet manufacturers matching the right colour of blue with their jerseys. It was either too dark or too light. They could never get it right. I'd love the US to keep this set full time. It would be a nice look and brighter on the ice compared to the dark navy.

Why isn’t the Olympic sweater the same as

the WJC for team USA??

I think for two reasons.

 

1. Starting in 2010, countries were no longer allowed to use federation logos on the front of their jerseys when participating in the Olympics.

 

2. I think that the Olympics are when Nike shows off their new templates for their next cycle of jerseys for the top divisions in the World Champs (mens, womens and mens U20). We saw this with the last batch of Nike jerseys that were debuted at the 2018 Olympics and pretty much every team in the  World Champs went with that template that year up until now.

Olympic Athletes from Russia has released their jerseys. How long do they have to compete as the ROA?... And I thought this was going to be throughout various sports and they weren't allowed to compete as Russia.

Till 2024 IIRC but only in World Cup (as RAF)/Olympics competitions. In european they can participate as a Russia.

The no federations logo rule dates back to 2008 (though it wouldn't have affected hockey until 2010). As I recall, it was sprung on teams shortly before the 2008 games, which is why we saw crap like this:

That's not really at play here. That would mean the USA Hockey logo is on the crest of the U20 jerseys but it's not. The U18 and U17 teams sometimes wear the Olympic jerseys with the USAH crest, sometimes they use the U20 template. 

 

I think it's just USA Hockey having different designs for different levels. The World Junior A Championship teams wear totally different designs. The U18 team will actually wear those at the Hlinka Gretzky tournament.

The fact that these are not the set being used for the Olympics is crazy. I would update it with a shade of navy though, to add a bit more distinctiveness because, as others have said, it does look similar to the Rangers.

On a side note with these, EA Sports and the IIHF signed an agreement and now all the national teams that are on NHL22 have the licensed federation jerseys. They will also have the World Junior tournament on there as well as the men's and women's world championship teams on there as well.

 

 I think it would be cool if they included the Olympic jerseys on there as alternates but the IOC may have an issue with that.

 

With the most recent roster update on NHL22, EA Sports has added 3 more international teams. Hungary, South Korea and Slovenia have been added to the game. Hungary is the only one without the updated jerseys. They are using their Nike ones from when they were last in the top division... On another side note, just looked at the IIHF website and Hungary is using the new Nike template.

Canada has kept their current (non Olympic) jerseys, just swapped in the new collar.

 

Some of these are really nice. Big fan of the British, Italians, Norway, Denmark, and Hungary's white jerseys.

I have a question, why is the positioning of the Nike logo different on the Olympic jerseys than on the World Championship jerseys? On the Olympic jersey, the Nike logo is below the shoulder stitching while on the World Champ jersey, it is above the shoulder stitching.

 

Here's an example:

Oh if only Kazakhstan used their flag colors

Curious if the 2022 Winter Olympic hockey jerseys will be shown before the games starts? Eager to see how the jerseys looks for all for both men and women's hockey games...
