Canada & USA uniforms....abomination

[NYR2]

The smaller jersey doesn't bother me, just the stripes. I REALLY hate the way the stripes are.

With Reebok being bought up by adidas-Solomon AG, hopefully some sanity will return in the uniform department.

Adidas' purchase of RBK won't affect anything in North America. That was mainly for European soccer purposes.

I thought Germany looked really good in their uni's today.

agree, those jerseys looked amazing!


i still dont like the Swift design, with the pressed on numbers/logos
they look very cheap and houseleague


im not to happy about the collars either or the cut, but at least go back to the stitched on classy jerseys, these just look cheap

 

[OCD]

those uniforms (olympic USA-CANADA) are so bad they look worse than the worst flaming gay disney designer's nightmare.

if the nhl goes with the stupid new design it will be an abomination.
(tucked in ordeal)

yeah the krauts had slick jerzees though...(eagle looks like it should be on a 40's era tiger tank)

 

[YungGunner94]

i like the new jersies....looked sleeker and didnt make bertuzzi look so bearish.....

germanies were probably the best though....usa's probably the worst.

Apart of Germany's, what do you think of other jerseys? Do you think they are all better than USA's and Canada's? IMO, pretty much every team with the new uniforms look awful and may I say gay?

 

[Canuck21t]

I liked Canada's jerseys. I thought they looked clean, streamlined, overall cool. I see nothing wrong with them, thought they were a nice change.

Maybe it's just me.

I don't mind the red jersey but the white one is not very nice but at least the socks don't have the vertical lines. I think the USA jersey is the worse.

They look okay from a distance but once you get up close all the players look pregnant or something. My friends and I actually laughed the first time we saw them up close.

How about Italy's uniform in general? Blue on blue on blue... there isn't even any blue in their flag. Ugly.

There is more in sport uniform traditions than flag colors. The italians are playing in blue in every sport. "Squadra Azzura" is what they are usually known as (most often in soccer).

Another team is the New Zealand's rugby team "All blacks" who play in...duh...black.

On Topic: I like the new jerseys, look a lot sleeker and have more style imo.

 

[YungGunner94]

pretty much all new zealand teams play in black...like their cricket team for example..

just like australian teams wear yellow even though yellow is nowhere on their flag.

 

[Pepper]

Gotta admit, I didn't even notice Team Finland was using the new sleek jerseys and to be honest, I don't see anything wrong with them!

Does anyone have a picture of the Latvian jersey from today? I cannot find one no matter how much I search.

Thanks,

at first the new jerseys looked very odd to me, and it seemed like they were really tight.. too tight...
but lately they look a lil wider... i wonder if the manufactuer did change something or if the teams just ordered a bigger size

I LOVE the Red Retro Logo Jersey we had at Salt Lake. I own it.

The new ones aren't bad. I'd buy one.

 

[Dupree13]

The new jerseys really don't look that much different than the old ones. I actually thought the USA looked good in their all blue shirt/socks/pants against Slovakia. If the new NHL jerseys look like these, I would be pretty happy. (please no tucked in jerseys though.)

As far as all the Nike jerseys being the exact same design except logo and color, that is very annoying. It's the exact same way with Nike's soccer jerseys. That is so extremely lame on Nike's part, I assume they save money by doing it that way.

Same here. They look good.

 

[Tricolore#20]

Same here. They look good.

It bothers me that they only wore them once. After the loss to Sweden, they never wore them again.

 

[Winger98]

I don't like the designs some of the counties have, but I do like the tighter look of the uniforms. My only real beef with the proposed uniform changes for the NHL next season was the (apparently) mandated changes in design so that the sweaters could be cookie cuttered. I still don't see why teams can't go to the new material but keep the old designs. The sleeker look gets a thumbs up from me, though.

 

[Gophers]

I don't mind having a slimmer jersey...but what the hell is that vertical stripe doing on the sock! I thought the the jerseys that USA wore during the 2004 WJCs looked pretty slick.

 

[Miracle80]

I thought the names and numbers looked like they were made of electrical tape on the white jerseys.
