Why does Sweden seldom wear their blue jerseys in international hockey?

[ZEBROA]

I’m Canadian but the Swede jerseys are my fave!
The colours and 3 crowns are so simple but so nice to look at!

Im a Swede who realy like the Canadian ,most the white with red leaf. Maby has something to do with being a Leafs fan...

 

[Ciccarelli]

Yeah, I really dont think that the color of a teams jersey affects their success.

SHL teams playing in pink jerseys has happened before, so the thought of the national team doing so as well isnt that overly far-fetched.

There are to many hockey- teams internationally that go whit the mainly red-white color- scheme. It gets'dull. If you count teams that where either some red or some white, too, then I guess Sweden is about the only top-team whit a completely different color. Kudos to Sweden and its flaginventor for establishing its own trademark brand-color.

Personally, I prefer the blue.

The blue looks so much better. Same goes for our Football team

Swedes who prefer the blue secretly or unconsciously wish to be Finns.

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Maybe the junior team should switch to blue to change their luck.

Finns could play in white or blue. They can't play without a Swedish lion on their chest however

The lion is looking at the west. Forever.

That's crazy. And wrong IMO. I wonder if they even bother bringing the blue jerseys.

They are beautiful, so it is a shame we never see them.
