As if those weren't your standard jerseys for the past 75 years.
No arm stripes, that's a minor revolution.

Agree, that logo was really nice, the best Canadian jersey ever IMO.
I'm getting mine done at Pacific Coast Cresting for $65+tax.

Thanks for this! I called them and placed an order for my Bergeron one today!
Tre Kronor's blue jerseys are effin awesome! Didn't notice the ships before, nice touch, also liked the names in white.
Nope, I don't like the Hockey Canada logo because the hockey player silouette is tacky on a national emblem. It's fine as a hockey federation logo, but very ugly on a national jersey.
Best ever.
Where does the green color come from?I think the blues are nice. I want to get a Kopitar one. If only I knew where to get a legit Nike one.
I could be wrong, but I think it's because white and green are the traditional colours of Ljubljana and being the capital city, green has found its way into the colours of the national teams for hockey and soccer.Where does the green color come from?

What I would have liked to have seen done to the USA sweater:
Meh. It's fine. Outside of the tacky crap at the top and the blasphemous Nike logo.
Being that this was decided in the early 90s, neon colours were all the rage. For instance the WLAF's Orlando Thunder wore neon green uniforms during their existence. So it may have been a sign of the times, I am slightly surprised they didn't wear teal. But it very well could be due to more than simply what was in at the time.
I'm not sure why green specifically. But I had read somewhere that because Yugoslavia wore red and blue at the Olympics, the Slovenian Olympic Committee decided when Yugoslavia dissolved that they wanted a new identity. They did not want to be seen as the successor to Yugoslavia for political reasons. Thus, the different colours.
