Up to date IIHF Jerseys

[Kevin W.]

Well, I was hoping for an illustrated version like the images @kiwi_canadian posted. I'm trying to create a raster version of the template to use.

I've been getting them from the IIHF website... Speaking of which, the recently promoted France has their jerseys up. As they were a recent call up (along with Austria) to replace Russia and Belarus, they didn't have time to get a new design in the new template so they are using the Tackla one from last year's Division 1A tournament. A bit underwhelming in my opinion...

USA has kept the jersey template from the Olympics, but have put the federation logo on the front. It's a much better look:

 

As is the usual after an Olympics

So what I've seen so far from the World Championships is that Austria is playing with their new jersey for this year but it is not a Nike one. Same template, but looks like it is supplied by Tackla as they were the emergency call up like France.

Maybe they should have made the back numbers red, then the stripes might not be visible through the numbers.

So, they're using SKRC. so that white layer allows it to be seethrough, as it's the only layer for most of the number.

 

If they used stack, you wouldnt be able to see the stripes because there would be a red layer below a blue layer below the white.

So on the IIHF website, Hungary's new "away" jersey is listed as looking like this:

 

The actual jersey they have been wearing at the Women's World Champs is basically a swap of their home jersey with red instead of white... and I think it looks really good.

Didn't  know where to put this but, Canada's iconic '72 Summit Series sweaters were designed < 24 hrs.

It's World Juniors time, and I'm reminded how much I hate how the IIHF forces these giant ads on the uniforms

[spartacat_12]

USA has tweaked their uniforms. Instead of white numbers on the back of the white jersey they've gone with red instead.

 

Old:

 

New:

 

I'm assuming this was done to help legibility, but the red stands out a little too much considering how minimally it's used on the rest of the uniform.

That's a big improvement. If you have to have that wraparound striping it has to be red to work. Maybe get rid of the blue trim on the numbers too.

Maybe make all the numbers red. IT bothers me for some reason.

Is that a maple leaf at the bottom of the crest?

Yes. If I recall what they said when the federation logo was first introduced, it went something along the lines of the  fire at the bottom is a connection to volcanic activity that is constant in Iceland and its in the shape of a maple leaf because of the connection to Canada that Iceland has with hockey. Fun fact, the first Olympic gold medal for hockey was won by the Winnipeg Falcons, a team made up of Icelandic Canadians. Here's the Heritage Moment where Jared Keeso of Letterkenny fame plays the coach.

Very cool! Thanks.  I was aware of the Falcons but had no idea about the Icelandic connection.

Luxembourg have updated their jerseys to align more with the new Nike template: (The old ones used to have a lot of flames on it)

 

 

The New Zealand Ice Blacks/Ferns also slightly updated their jerseys. They've gone for a more simple look with just arm stripping now,  got rid of the black shoulders on the white jersey, dropped the federation logo patch on the upper part of the jersey and added the New Zealand flag on the left arm.
