Korbyn Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 This is sad but I love how Fasel kept on saying we'll find a wayx2.I really hope they do, that logo is what millions of kids will give a left arm to play for.A maple leaf is a maple leaf. No matter how it is portrayed, it is essentially the same. Doesn't matter whether it is the logo with the Gretzky silhouette nor a blank one, as long as one is on there somewhere that is all that will matter. Remember this is a relatively new logo... people have long played under different logos...Very true, but this one just suits Canadian Hockey so well.The logo has sentimental value with Canadians, but really at the end of the day, hockey is hockey no matter how it looks.If they can't wear it, what you are using for your avatar would suffice for me as a Canadian and a Vancouverite that will be eagerly watching and waiting for the Olympics hockey.The problem is that Korbyn's avatar depicts a logo that is also trademarked by Hockey Canada. They would have to create a brand new identity, and not trademark itWhich is a shame because that is such a great logo.I really miss seeing it on the team jerseys.It wouldn't be too hard to make a non-infringing (trademark or copyright) mark that carries the same design aesthetic as that mark.BTW, your avatar logo was on the 2002 Alternate Jerseys, no? I've been looking for pictures, but I don't think the team wore them in Olympic competition. I do remember a mag cover of #66 in the alt jersey. Anyone have any pics?As beautiful as that jersey was, we got spanked wearing them during that game against Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Good news as IOC President Jacques Rogge says that Hockey Canada can put their logo on the jersey "in some form" for Vancouver 2010.All Hockey Canada has to do now is try and negotiate with the COC. The COC has been very staunch in their decision to not allow Hockey Canada to have their logo, because they want their logo on the hockey jerseys. I think a deal can be reached. Overall, this is good news, as Hockey Canada now has the IIHF and the IOC on their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, this is good news, as Hockey Canada now has the IIHF and the IOC on their side.I don't know that its that simple. Nicholson confirmed the IOC has rejected six jersey designs submitted by Hockey Canada."The money off the jerseys has been very beneficial not just to our national-team programs, but more importantly to our grassroots programs," Nicholson said. "That is a concern."We've done a tremendous amount in the last two and three years to tie all youngsters to our logo and we're going to have to miss a two-week period that could have helped us keep those dreams alive."Its pretty sad that the IOC is so money-grubbing for merchandise revenues that they stoop to this sort of nonsense. Of course, they've been a pretty corrupt and morally dubious organization for a long time now, so I guess we shouldn't be so surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaverSports Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 That last post nailed it, this is all about money. The Canadian OC sees the revenue streams Hockey Canada has created for itself though merchandising and it wants that revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

officeglenn Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Just got this press release in my inbox:TORONTO, Feb. 14 /CNW/ - The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) announced today it will submit a modified version of the traditional Hockey Canada jersey, as requested by Hockey Canada, to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for use at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The jersey is being submitted for approval in light of a more flexible approach to the issue of competition wear guidelines that has been signaled by comments emanating from the IOC this past week in Vancouver. The COC is continuing to work with Hockey Canada in this ongoing process and will await word from the IOC on approval. A suggestion that has received some recent attention is the possible use of the iconic 1972 Summit Series Team Canada jersey. From the COC's perspective, this would present a very interesting option to pursue with Hockey Canada in the event the IOC does not approve the current submission. Named the greatest team of the 20th Century by the Hockey Hall of Fame,the '72 Summit Series between Canada and the Soviet Union is an enduring moment in Canadian history. In consideration of the national pride generatedfrom the '72 series and what these home Games in 2010 will mean to Canada,this is something that Canadians could certainly identify with. The COC will continue to work with its sport partner Hockey Canada to find a solution that works for both parties and meets with IOC approval.So make of that what you will.

Maybe it's the pseudo-BSG font, maybe it's the fact that they're updates of Canada's Canada Cup "glory years" uniforms, but I personally love this sweater.Also, and I know I'm in the minority here, the primary Hockey Canada logo has never really been a favourite of mine.

It's down right juvenile how they react sometimes to things like that.I would assume they dropped the jerseys because of the Nike Swift jersey program.These are nice but I think they have too much of a throwback look to be used for every game. I don't miss them that much. The 72 Canada Cup jerseys are terrible IMO. They are terribly dated looking and have random meaningless design elements. There's nothing aesthetically pleasing about the abstract half leaf or lack of stripes. It's really just a glorified old practice jersey. The only reason the press and HHOF likes them is because their generation is nostalgic for that era. And "team of the century"? Please. That's nothing but a reflection of the voting age of the HHOF. That 72 team was slow, out of shape and they barely beat the Russians. They wouldn't last a period against the team Canada junior team of the last few years. Which leads me back to the best Team Canada jersey of all time:The best Team Canada uniform of all time is the current set worn by the Junior team. The minimalist red and white jersey with black accessories is perfect. It perfectly uses the national colours of red and white without washing itself out. I especially love how they removed the black stripes. The stripes are classic hockey and they echo past Canada teams. They seem wholly original without the black. The coolest thing about this jersey is that it looks like it could have been worn in any era yet it is still very modern. It's too bad that it will likely only be worn for just one WJC. It really is a classic and should be worn more. DEATH TO REEBOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, when Hockey Canada rolled out 4 jerseys in 2001 (the home, away, red alternate and black alternate), they initially intended for this design to be their official 3rd jersey. They commented that the 4th jersey (the black jersey with the red maple leaf) was only intended to be a "fan jersey." After the 2002 Olympics, the black jersey essentially became the 3rd jersey.
