TFoA Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 My biggest beef with the Canadian jersey is not the jersey, but aren't the pants wrong? My other question is, aren't the sleeve numbers incorrect? I swear I've never seen that jersey with sleeve numbers, but I could be wrong on both accounts and it wouldn't be the first time.They're wrong. They wore navy blue pants.

SenatorJake Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 1976 Canada CupThese are the jerseys they were replicating, so the replicas are correct. Now, if we consider the uniforms from the last 2 Canada Cups...1991 Canada CupAlso from the 1991 Canada Cup1987 Canada CupAlso from the 1987 Canada CupSo apparently, they wore both colours of pants. But their helmets were always white, at home & away. They were no numbers on the sleeves.I'm pretty sure white helmets for both jerseys and no numbers on the sleeve is not allowed in World Championship hockey.

spyboy1 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 A few thoughts:First, the US did not have ads on their blue Swift jerseys that they wore on Sunday.Second, even if a US company didn't want to put an ad on the jersey, I am sure they got offers from European companies because of the popularity of the tournament there.Third, for some reason USA Hockey is not even selling the throwbacks. I would have bought a #17 (Parise) jersey in a heartbeat so this is a disappointment.Fourth, even if the jerseys did have ads, I highly doubt that they would be on replicas available for sale. Even if they were, I don't think it would stop people from buying a jersey (hardcore fans wouldn't care and casual fans would not be buying them anyway).The USA has had ads on their jerseys in the past and the replica jerseys, even "authentics" never, ever come with the sponsor patches on them.I always thought the Skoda logo was a stylized chicken with a mohawk.

bcdevil Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm pretty sure white helmets for both jerseys and no numbers on the sleeve is not allowed in World Championship hockey.I can't speak to the sleeve numbers but the US has worn white helmets with all of their jerseys for at least the past three years.

Russia and Latvia are two examples. I don't think Germany had them either. JerseyDatabase.com - I'm that guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
