How it should be:

1972 Canada jerseys vs. 1980 USA jerseys!!!!

I think the jerseys are actually from the 40's. They told the story about it on TSN. Something about a team from Winnipeg representing Canada. But they are not pretty to look at. But hey, it seems that Canada plays like crap when they wear their black jerseys, so this might help.

Agreed

I don't think it's as ugly as others but Gold/Black are not Canadian colours.

then again it was worn in the 20's.

How original. Another naked cash-grab by the greedy bastards who are ruining the game. Sell more jerseys. THe NHL and NHLPA sicken me. They deserve each other. They have a chance to make this just about hockey, but noooooo, they just can't keep their grubby little mitts out of the cash register at all.

Marketing, marketing, marketing! Argh!

Is this a hockey tournament of a focus group?

The prophecy must be fulfilled.

Second Period.
Where players dash,
with skates a-flash,
the home team trails behind.
But they grab the puck,
and go bursting up,
and their down across the line.
They storm the crease,
like bumblebees,
and they travel like a burning flame.
We see them slide the puck inside,
its a one one hockey game!

For all canadian readers

take a look at your grocery store.....this is one of the jerseys that is shown on the Pepsi cans.

they take a look at the history of Canadian World Championship teams, and have 6 different cans.

6 cans, potentially 6 games for canada: Coincidence: maybe not

Canada may wear a different sweater at each game. dont be surprised

Well, if Canada ties it 1-1 in the second and goes onto win it, I'm taking my statue of Buddha down

 

[Le Golie]

The jersey commemorates the Winnipeg Falcons, the first team to ever win an Olympic gold medal for Canada in 1920.

It was a team made up of Iclanders (all but one player) from the Winnipeg/Selkirk/Gimli area and there was a huge stink in Gimli when Canada unveilved their third jersey for the '02 Salt Lake games because they didn't use the Falcon logo.

So basically this is Hockey Canada's way of shutting those people up.

[Riddarn]

[Mr. Penguin]

Okay, the jersey doesn't look that bad... But Team Canada wearing that jersey? Nonononohohooo...!!!

However, Bobby has to score first.
The only name on either roster that could count as a "Bobby" is Roberto, how the heck is that gonna happen???

 

[gohabsgo2010]

You're joking right? We're not actually wearing that, are we? All because some mosquitos from Winnipeg are pissed off that no one cares about what happened in 1920?

We may have to settle for Robyn Regehr.
