Team Canada 2010 jersey goes retro
With 6 months left until the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, Icethetics has what is apparently a leaked preview of Team Canada’s new jersey.
Here’s the red (dark) jersey:
And the white one:
Personally, I like the classic retro look. For those wondering about the Maple Leaf crest, there’s First Nations art in the middle of it.
For those unfamiliar with why Team Canada had to come up with a new jersey logo for the Games, the background is here.
So the maple leaf is fine, it’s just the maple leaf + hockey player logo that’s not allowed?

You got it.
The maple leaf + hockey player logo is actually Hockey Canada’s corporate logo, and the IOC doesn’t allow corporate logos on a team’s jersey as the main logo.

i like it. i find the hockey player logo a bit obvious. i mean, what else would they be playing? we know it’s hockey. no other national team feels the need to put a hockey player on the their jersey. there are some other cool and classic logos out there, like swedens tre kronors, or the czech shield or coat of arms, the japanese red sun. the simple maple leaf is great. very nice work. hockey canada should ditch the player logo and stick with this one.

I don’t think the jerseys look that bad, but it would be nice the have the Hockey Canada logo that everyone knows and loves.

great this is just great. not so lame but okay
The dark red Jersey looks good not o sure about the white one could look much better.
This is a really great piece. I discovered your blog from bing while browsing a similar subject matter. I really ate up what you had to discuss. Keep up the good work!
I love it. I am obviously feeling a little hockey player logo. I mean, they game? We know what hockey. No other team feel the need to put on their jerseys for hockey players. Where there are other calm and classic signs, such as Sweden Tre kronor, or the shield, Czech or emblem, the red sun of Japan. Single Maple Leaf is great. Very good job. Canadian hockey players should ditch the logo and adhere to it.
I want on of these shirts!
I like them both. abut ti,e they went retro…
Thanks for the great post. Keep blogging.
great but i prefer the white one
This was a really use full write up. It really made me happy
