Generic Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I really hope this is only for these Olympics, team Canada had finally reached the level of pretty nice jerseys with the 2010 ones (ignoring the logo but that's okay) and they decided to ass :censored: the living hell out of that fact. Thanks, Nike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 whatever, i like em.Looks good to me. Why do people blame Nike?Do you honestly think that Nike went to Hockey Canada and said these are your jerseys, deal with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Also, the Olympic tournament is like 5 games. Why do they need an alternate at all, let alone a black one?Nike.Canada had 4 jerseys in 2002, although this was the only time (I can recall) they wore this one2002 was the last great year for international jerseys.

Sodboy13 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 A black shirt with a red armband on the left sleeve? Now *that's* a throwback!

bleuet Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 TEAM CANADA HAS LEAKED!It's unfortunate because there was something here, a good idea in the end, out of the box, but for some reason, they ruined it with stripes (or lack of), lack of outline on flag, stripe not getting around etc.I mean, its a pity. Like the guy who had the idea did not have control on the execution.Now lemme guess: the black alt makes me think they're gonna wear black pants, but theres no black on the white and red jersey. And, as posted above, why a black alt?Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Which is ironic, because I look at that third sweater and "control on the execution" is one of the first things that comes to mind.

IceCap Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Yeah....I...um...won't be picking up a black alternate. This might be the worst Canadian set yet. Even worse then the Nike Swift sets from 2006 with the vertical stripes.

BigBubba Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Reminds me of the Bay's 2012 Olympic gear:Utter garbage. And what the hell's with the random gold leaves thrown on the front? Yeah, yeah, I get the gold medal connotation, but that's probably the definition of a last-minute throw-in on a uniform. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Stripes on only one sleeve and fake lace-ups because Nike.I couldn't have put it any better myself.There were some good jerseys at the Vancouver Olympics. It's too bad that the pursuit of the almighty dollar made ditching those a necessity. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, come on. Cummon, the IIHF just allowed retro jerseys with Soviet symbols on it a few years ago (you know, those guys that murdered nearly 20 times more people than the Nazis), why should a vague similarity to German uniforms be a problem? Making a fuss about that is simply ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
