Peter Tessier: Ugly Canadian will be all the talk at Sochi The team Canada hockey jersey from Nike has been leaked and it's fugly.

what do you expect? They are made by kids in sweatshops who don't even know what the jerseys say. I guess they are designed there now too.

this is (frank)ing (frank)ed. (frank) me

I still like the Canada once better then the team K-swiss ones but by a very small margin.

Oh my

Wow, Nike is 2 fer 2. These uni's aren't terrible, they're just boring and Toews' expression says it all.

What, exactly, was wrong with this?

This won't help the merch sales at all. Should have just kept the 2010 jerseys.

They can't use the Hockey Canada logo - which was the reason why they had to change it up in 2010.

Well the oil companies did design their logos to exploit the whole national pride sentiment in the first place. Seeing as how the jerseys are an expression of national pride, you'd sort of expect them to overlap in their use of symbols and whatnot, but I get the point.

They did in '02 and '06. I though that they made the '10 logo because it was in Canada.

When did not using the HC logo change?

Ive seen worse

Just bring these back instead, problem solved Nike

Up until 2010 they were getting an exception to the rules, which are no sports federation logos allowed. In 2010, and going forward it looks like, they were denied the exception.

I like those ones for some reason.

I would argue that the logo on the US jersey has its origins from one of the best jerseys in professional hockey, the Rochester Americans.

Outside of the fake laces and bedazzled stars I have little issue with the US jersey.

It's the coat of arms of the U.S., adopted in 1782. From wiki:

"The 1782 resolution of Congress adopting the arms, still in force, legally blazoned the shield as "Paleways of 13 pieces, argent and gules; a chief, azure." As the designers recognized, this is a technically incorrect blazon under traditional English heraldic rules, since in English practice a vertically striped shield would be described as "paly", not "paleways", and it could not be striped of an uneven number. A more technically proper blazon would have been argent, six pallets gules... (six red stripes on a white field), but the phrase used was chosen to preserve the reference to the 13 original states."
