is it just me or does everyone have their countries flag or "symbol" in their jerseys. now i am not complaining because i think that the 1980 USA jerseys looked fine without the flag(i am not just saying this because they won that year)i am just saying in todays olympics i think that jerseys like ours look like a joke and someone like the swiss or latvia looked great with their countries flags.

I love the Slovak and Swiss jerseys. Simple and classy. I don't see much wrong with the American jerseys, even if it's not my style. The Finnish jerseys seem a bit rococo, and the Canadian jerseys, I thought, were rather ugly. Simple and clean is the way to go.
 
I like the USA jerseys.

It's the socks that are killing me. Those things are hideous. It would also help if they had gone with red pants.

:biglaugh: I gotta agree. Thank the hockey gods Canada chose not to use those.
 
Don't like the socks and don't like the different stripes on the jerseys. Hate them actually.
 
i don't like these tighter jersey's taller and bigger players like pronger look wierd too me. i think the US jersey should have the flag on it with like an eagle next to it. that to me would look better
 
I agree that the Columbus 3rd jersey with some modifications wouldn't be too bad for a team usa jersey but what can you do? Nike makes the jerseys and pays a lot to do it. As long as they are willing to spend, then they can decide what it should look like.

I think all these new jerseys suck. Majorly. Stupid lines along the side. Finland in *black* pants. ***?

There is nothing black in Finland, on the flag, on the crest or on Kekkonen's plate.
If they wanted a 3rd colour to work with it should have been red or yellow (colours on the Finnish crest).

silly pub trivia fact: Finland's 3rd jersey is red. You never see it because we always play in either home or away colours depending on the other guys colour. The red looks quite cool, especially with the yellow lion on the chest.

Totally. USA's uniforms haven't been as good since they ditched the red pants and went from real blue (you know, like the shade on our flag) to dark blue. Also, I never understood why Canada has to have black in their uniforms. There is no black in their flag. Can you not come up with a nice red and white design (Detroit, Boston U., Cornell manage)? Or at least keep the black to a minimum. The black helmuts especially look terrible.

I agree, other countries' uniforms have something that seems indicative of their country, even if it is just the flag. USA with warped running stripes is just goofy. Something you'd design if you were in 5th grade. Canada has a maple leaf, other countries have a coat of arms or flag symbol, while the USA has letters and colors. THey need to go with something like an Eagle or Flag that represents the country.

By the way, all these new Nike styles are hideous.
