orangegator Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I know the Spengler Cup isn't IIHF, but here is Canada's ad plastered jerseys from that tournament. They appear to be the same template as the Canada ones now.For some reason they wear the old Hockey Canada logo, which was dumped after the 1994 Worlds, for the Spengler Cup only.

They appear to be the same template as the Canada ones now.For some reason they wear the old Hockey Canada logo, which was dumped after the 1994 Worlds, for the Spengler Cup only.I wonder why they chose to cram the number onto the front of the jersey like that when they didn't need to.As for the World Junior jerseys, I like them as a whole a lot more than the last batch of nearly identical templates, the over reliance on vertical stripes, sleeve "stripes" that started, and for some bizarre reason, stopped mid-arm, and those stupid, unexplainable zebra stripes on the sides.This batch has way more individuality in comparison, the return of horizontal striping, yet with a few common elements like the sleeve number placement that ties the set together without making it all seem cookie-cutter. It's not a return to the exciting world of the 2005 World Championships, but it's a lot better than the low point of Torino 2006.

I can't get into these new jerseys at all, I miss the black in the jersey alot.I know only a few people feel like this though, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecticbro Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I can't stand the white Canada jerseys. They look like some cheap imitation you could buy at K-Mart. The red ones look nice, though, especially when they're beating some hapless former Soviet republic 15-0.The American jerseys are really nice.

I believe it was 6-3. It was mentioned on TSN when Canada was playing Germany when they were talking about how a lot of nations want the IIHF to make the U20's a 8 nation tournament instead of a 10 team one.

Gordie Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 For some reason they wear the old Hockey Canada logo, which was dumped after the 1994 Worlds, for the Spengler Cup only.A while back, I contacted Hockey Canada about this, and the response I got was that it was due to the Spengler Cup's sponsorship advertising on the uniforms. Companies like Esso, Nike, RBC, Telus, etc. pay a lot of sponsorship money in order to be associated with Hockey Canada and it's brand, while the Spengler Cup sponsors obviously don't. Hockey Canada honours and protects it's relationship with it's corporate supporters by using a different logo at the Spengler Cup.I wonder why they chose to cram the number onto the front of the jersey like that when they didn't need to.Probably because there are no sleeve numbers, with sponsorship patches in their normal place.

After searching for a long time, I managed to get my hands on a Tackla jersey from around 1992 and a slightly older one from the last time the WJC was in Ottawa.
