kiwi_canadian Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 That time of year again and there are some changes in the IIHF this year.Watching Canada and France right now and the French have new jerseys this year. A simple blue jersey with 3 thin red, white and blue lines running down the middle of the arms. Kind of boring and I prefer the previous ones.I know Lithuania changed their jerseys to a red and white jersey (kind of like Canada's) but with the horse from the coat or arms on the front. I feel that is a miss on their part as the jerseys that they had previous were the colours of the flag and had more colour. I also know Estonia FINALLY got rid of the white breezers that they had last year.Spain also now has a yellow jersey this year and I believe they dropped the red one.Anyone else know of any others?

Edubdesign Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Maybe they wanted Zubrus to look like he was still in New Jersey? No idea how they came up with that.Do you have any photos of Estonia's pant change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edubdesign Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Also, the Swiss seem to be going with their Sochi look, while Russia has new white sweaters.Quick and dirty photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vman Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 God I hate Estonia's use of their flag in a quasi-shield thing. They look like a early 90's video game team. What was wrong with the gray coat of arms they used a few years ago?I don't mind Lithuania's. The coat of arm colours go back further than the flag, so I can see the point of that, although the Vytis figure could use more detail. It looks too plain as it is. I don't see these surviving more than another year or two.There are few more jerseys making their debuts in the next few days. Belarus wore their new reds today against the States, who themselves sported updated jerseys with the USA hockey logo in place of the shield. Kazakhstan's will be similar to the Belarus jerseys, with a thin ethnic design along the bottom, and nothing else, other than an updated crest design.Finland will also be sporting different whites from the Olympics. Not sure if the blues are gone as well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Seems like the teams that had specialty white jerseys for the Olympics are getting the white version of those dark jerseys for IIHF play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vman Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Damn shame. I actually liked those flag-based whites.I didn't mind them, but I much prefer these, even if they are very similar to Latvia's/Austria's, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignis Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 France away jersey is interesting and very French: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vman Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 France's white jersey has something slightly effeminate about it, but it's a unique, clean look. I don't hate it.Italy's blues are disappointing.And the new Kazakh jerseys I mentioned yesterday: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi_canadian Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 I thought the Olympic jerseys were just a one off. Looks like Canada is the only one who hasn't updated to the new template so far.I know Germany's yellow jerseys were a one off so here is their new white one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was wrong with the gray coat of arms they used a few years ago?Latvia uses a grey version of their coat of arms as their logo. While Estonia's coat of arms are suitably unique they probably didn't want to use the same concept as their Baltic neighbours.

kiwi_canadian Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 I just noticed that there looks like there is a sublimated polar bear on Norway's jersey as well. Can't see it that well on the white jersey but I looked at the player profiles on Norway and you can see that there is a design there:Red for reference: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Italy's blues are my favourite jerseys of the tournament so far that I've seen.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
