I have no idea if those are the official wear that the athletes will wear or if it's just inspired stuff to sell to the regular public, but I agree with what most people have said here.

HBC has released the 2008 line:

Mens
Womens
Kids

Personally, I'm not impressed with what HBC has done with their treatment of Team Canada wear. I think they've made them look cheap with a "mass-market" kind of look.

I think Roots did a way better job and was sad when I heard that they wouldn't have the contract for 2010. I assume HBC outbid all competitors by an ungodly amount in order to get the contract? I have a hard believing that they got it solely through the merits of their clothing line.
