Confirmed with Link: Bergeron, Lucic, Marshmont, Eriksson, Krejci, Chara and Rask Invited to Olympic Camps

[Dellstrom]

They looked a lot better on the players, maybe it'll look better with some actual gear on.

Not huge on the stars, really tacky. Fake laces... Why? Maybe would have liked it a lot more with a bottom stripe. Logo is alright, pretty cool, but the jerseys themselves are pretty meh. Nike jerseys always have some kind of tacky thing(s) on them.

I really like Russia's home jersey. Really sharp.

 

[PrisonMike]

That is it I am cheering for Canada !

canada's will have a similar look, both designed by nike. Here is russia's jerseys also by nike

 

[VanIsle]

We haven't seen Canada's jerseys yet. They could be worse.

It doesn't matter what's on the jersey, it matters what is in the jersey.

All you guys must have a soft spot for Canada, with Bergeron, Lucic, Marchand all making a run at a spot.

 

[TCL40]

The shiny stars are just awful-a 6 year old girl in pee wee might like them.

I don't mind the simplicity of the sleeves but the shiny stars are horrid.

Russia's don't looks bad. My favorite international jersey are the Czech ones from the last Olympics.

No, I'd rather have Austria win it all, and they are the ones who've kicked Germany out of the qualification

Grabner/Nodl/Vanek are the only ones that I know of that are any good.

I am part Austrian, maybe I should lace em up. hahaha.

Good to have you on board Ladyfan

On a lighter note, the U.S. jersey's are not the best, i.e. current Bruins jersey, but they are not the worst, i.e. Pooh Bear jersey.

I really want to watch good hockey. I have no issue with cheering for Canada. My Dad was born in Halifax NS and my Grandparents were from Newfoundland. Plus with my boys (Bergy, Looch and Marchy) playing I may not be able to help myself.

If it were the 1980 Olympics ...well I was cheering for USA then. I was shocked when they won but there were no NHL players playing. Things are quite different now.

Great to have some Canadian blood in ya, I always cheer for Canadians first, then the U.S.A., and then whoever is left that has bruins on them, Slovakia/Czech/Sweds this year, all I really want to see is great hockey, in which the Olympics always brings about.

My Grandparents were from Philadelphia, (blah) so I have a small amount of American blood in me, goooooooo America.

and thanks.

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Yay.

Not.

I hate having to hold my breath hoping none of our key players get hurt in the Olympics.

Not a fan of professional players in the Games.

Wish it was just kept to, you know, amateurs, as it was meant to be.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Gross.

No kidding. That is... Bad. That is, uh... Somebody should have said something before it got to this point. Like Battlefield Earth.

 

[EvilElf63]

What's with the double-headed Llama on the white jerseys?

 

[kutskova]

Russian coat of arms, it's a double headed eagle

 

[TCL40]

Yay.

I kind of like it-however I agree with the worry about injury.

Personally I would kind of like to see the NHL do something similar to how soccer plays in the Olympics with age caps (players must be 23 or younger with 3 exceptions per team). This wouldn't exactly be amateur but it would result in younger players being the core of teams.

Yeah, de Coubertin meant for the Olympics to belong to amateurs, i.e. "gentlemen," who didn't have to concern themselves with making a living.

Ironic that the greatest memory many have of the Olympics came about because the Soviet hockey team consisted of, yes, professionals.

 

[Morris Wanchuk]

This crusade to remove horizontal stripes from hockey jerseys sucks.

But, Nike has always made crap jerseys anyways.

jesus christ this years olympic jerseys are terrible

 

[Dellstrom]

jesus christ this years olympic jerseys are terrible

Holy **** that is absolutely brutal

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Holy lord.

There must be something that I...

...gross.

It's like that Christmas party that your buddy holds with the terrible sweater theme.

Soderberg "disqualified" from SWE Olympic squad. "He did not handle (the transfer to #Bruins) the right way," coach Marts tells Expressen.

Is this really a shock to anyone? He burned mega bridges. Maybe if they (SWE Federation) didn't act like brats things would be different.

not a shock but that still doesn't make it right. He finished the season over there. I still don't see what he did that was so wrong.

International tournaments are viewed much differently in Europe so while i agree with you and think they need to get over it, this is nothing more than them saving face.
