Amongst the worst jerseys the Olympics have seen. They look cheap.

Yup the star and laces look like someone's Mom/Sister drew them on with a magic marker

Take off the fake laces and stars and it would look ok, not great, but ok. Now it looks terrible.

Russia's are just as bad, if not worse. Scratch that, the white ones are worse, and the red ones have the same stupid fake laces.

Actually don't mind the stars though, wonder if Canada will get Nike Maple Leaves on the the shoulders.

The laces are lame but I like the stars. And I love the crest.

The laces are definitely stupid looking but I don't mind the stars and the design itself is rather simple. I'm curious what colour pants they're going with. And at least they didn't put any silly rainbows on it!

Those are not nice. All of a sudden some of those mock flames jerseys in the other thread look a whole lot better.

These are pretty terrible when compared to the retro jerseys they wore in Vancouver. That Gold medal game had some outstanding jerseys in my opinion.

Ha ha ha! Anybody else initially think that Guerin's undershirt collar was actually part of the jersey design itself?

I think they are horrible. Not everybody has the same taste.

The whites have a stupid design, and I don't like the Russian flag on the arms of the red or the fake drawstrings on the neck.

No, but I'd like to see that happen. The endless criticism would be entertaining.

My first instinct was confusion, then laughter. Those jerseys are ew-begew. Some of the worst Olympic jerseys I've seen in recent history.

The Russian ones on the other hand, I actually like the white one, it's just SO Russian.

I like the high striping on the arms. But the fake laces have got to go.
