We are entering a dark age of jersey design. That Canada jersey is disgusting.

I actually like the Buffalo jersey. It's not the worst third in the league (cough cough ISLANDERS cough cough).

[Neal 41]

Take away the fake laces and the embossed beavers or maple leaves or whatever on the shoulders and either have two arm stripes or none and that Team Canada jersey isn't horrible. Its mediocre at best though, even with those changes.

I like the concept of the Buffalo jersey with the yellow front and blue back. But the extra silver pieces are awful. If the sabres in the logo were silver, I could see using some silver touches elsewhere. Perhaps on the numbers and names. But the odd arm stripes and cuffs are plain and simple bad. I think the cuffs are going to look particularly odd with gloves. There will be a lot going on there with blue and yellow gloves and silver cuffs.

He looks really sad or embarrased to be posing in that Canada jersey.

I really dont understand the Olympic jerseys this year, very strange decisions made on all of the ones I've seen.

[shoeshine boy 241]

whatever they're smoking over at Nike, it's some good stuff!

[dwarrior67 0]

This is the ... I don't even have words for how bad this is. What were they thinking?

sweet mother, say it ain't so, is that two shades of gold? yikes

[Amiroo39 121]

Team Canada Olympic jersey?

It's legit. A clueless photographer uploaded it to Getty Images without any idea of what they were doing.

...and why is one sleeve white?

WHY IS ONE ARM WHITE? IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

"Hockey Canada will unveil and launch the jerseys that it's men's, women's and sledge hockey teams will wear at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi on October 8," a spokesperson told TSN on Friday. " We look forward to telling the story and innovation behind the jerseys at that time."

Safe to say that the Toews pic isn't the final product, so we can all breathe easier now.

[IniNew 51]

Not that safe. It's following many of the same trends the other jerseys are following. Could be a proto, and they might change it just because of the backlash, but yeah, I imagine that's pretty close to final design... especially with only a month to go.

[Beleafer 14]

I read some article saying the jersey was going to be an alternate and not the actual primary jersey.

[215BroadStBullies610 434]

Hockey Canada never came out and denied that this wasn't their Olympic jersey. They have left it wide open for speculation.

I dont blame Toews for the WTF are they making me wear look

No Sh!T. Its like they took a look at the Sabres and Team USA jersey and said....Yup we most certainly CAN do MUCH worse" and then actually went out and executed.

[JR Boucicaut 3759]

Thank God there's a team like Sweden that just tells them they aren't accepting input on their jerseys.

[Stryker 37]

I can't get over how stupid the Nike Flywire looks on all these jerseys... Honestly put some lace back in there

Pretty sure the leak is real.

Don't the manufacturers simply present teams (clients) with possible choices? Teams and organizations have the final say in what is used. If Olympic/NHL teams look like happy meal toys or exactly as they did 40 years ago, isn't it their own decision?

[JSK81 400]

Outside of NA, the fans probably concentrate on watching the games instead of jerseys anyway, lol

[215BroadStBullies610 434]

Sweden seems to get it. And I like that. Does anyone know how much Nike is paying to have their logo on these uniforms?

[Louie 28]

Wow...EDGE "slim fit" really got slim and added a ton of new panels to the jersey.

Looks like the fit is brutal, especially in the armpit. The fabric looks really bunched up.

I'd love to see the actual templates from Reebok, I don't know curious to see what they have to present to teams.

[Hooah4 12]

Spoke to someone very much in the know. Burgeron is trying the product and both sides are speaking.

[andymac1324 1]

good to know. guess Bergy isn't giving up Reebok just yet :)

[Harv 86]

good to know. guess Bergy isn't giving up Reebok just yet :)

Back in Warrior here.. So I'd say it's still a testing process..

[steve66 45]

Is Eberle wearing new Vapor golves in this APX2 stick promo? Backroll and thumb looks different to current APX and APX pro gloves.
