USA Hockey Jerseys

Or on Yahoo's front page - Yahoo!

I like 'em.

[Chelios57 31]

I could do without the "Rangers" jersey though.

[ComradeWasabi 109]

Come on, that third jersey is just the Rangers' jersey with USA on it.

or maybe its just the rangers jersey is a usa jersey with rangers on it.

[miller76 463]

Is that really the best they could due? Come on, it's the olympics. The Canadian jersey is just awesome compared to these.

I pull for both teams, being that I am a canadian living in the U.S.

The IOC really tied everyones hands this time around.

Lundqvist should wear one in the match against USA just for kicks.

Teammate: "Just imagine he owes you 20 cents."

Someone got paid to make those? Hell, I could slap a Maple Leaf on a Wings jersey instead of the Winged Wheel, and accomplish for Canada the exact same thing that Nike did for the USA on that "third" jersey...

I like that Nike tried to stay traditional with these, but I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed. The blue jerseys need stripes on the arms, not to mention that I'm a bit leery of this "We The People" design they're incorporating. If they make that part of the hockey jersey like they did the basketball jerseys from the '08 games... *shudders*

And what's the deal with the blue shoulder piece on the normal white jersey? Am I the only one who thinks that part looks horrible? (by "normal", I mean the non-NYR-ripoff).

IMO, these are very disappointing for me.

They should wear these jerseys.

Funny thing is, I've heard complaints that the Canada jerseys are just maple leafs slapped onto Coyotes kit.

They're close, I'll give you that. But they're different enough, in enough ways, that they don't seem to be a direct rip off. The new generation of Coyotes jerseys ('03-current) has had 2 different incarnations.

and

I suppose if you took an amalgam of the 2 white jerseys (red shoulder panels, and the stripes along the hips and sleeves), then it would look fairly close to the new Canada jerseys. Same can be said of the red jerseys too. But the differences in the stripes, and the differences in the colors of the red (Phoenix's looks much more maroon to me, whereas the Canada jersey looks a bit lighter. But that could be just my opinion of the color...)

But if you ask me which one is more of a copy, the USA 3rd from the Rangers jerseys, or the Canada jerseys from Phoenix, it's not even close. USA wins that competition hands down.

No one would even notice if I took the concept drawing of the Rangers jersey and put the USA instead. They'd actually think it's the concept drawing of the USA jersey it's so close

Meh, I was expecting better. They're passable, but nothing great.

[Electrophile 3,554]

I like them. Simple, direct and to the point. We have red, white and blue and our country's name on it. What more do people want?

[BeeRYCE 2]

Great way to celebrate 30 years. I'm obviously not going for the Americans, but I do look forward to just watching these young skilled American kids play with each other.

[xtrememachine1 795]

I hate them. I understand the "Ohhhh vintage" look, but make the vintage look the third jersey. Instead we have boring uniforms with USA in boring font. And for the third jersey, we look like the freaking NYR. No imagination.

It was like someone said,

"Hey, who in the NHL has red, white and blue jerseys?"

"Ohhh I know. The Rangers!"

"Perfect!"

Yeah, the NYR jersey is lazy. But on the whole this is a MUCH MUCH MUCH better direction than the crap Nike was foisting on us earlier this decade.

Agreed 100%

I wonder how much it's going to hurt the style of Sweden's jersey...

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

Meh....they're alright. That's about it.

Priceless!

Or atleast Ron Tibbles in the team picture.

It may have no effect, since only one element of the "Swedish Ice Hockey Association" is being used:
