Fake plastic laces. Dear lord.

Nike sure crapped on the jerseys this year.

I was a little bit reserved about the Canada jerseys originally, and kind of liked the Russia jersey, but as soon as I saw them up close? The end.

These jerseys are awful. Nike should be taken out back and Old Yellered for this one. Every single jersey, even if they look half decent from afar, look like absolute trash up close.

Sweeden got away with classic bottom striping. But then put plasticy boats on the sleeves. Can't find their blue uni though.

I kind of get what Nike was going for here. They were trying to make it look more similar to the uniforms the rest of the Olympic athletes wear opposed to traditional hockey jerseys.

Holy crap did they do a bad job of translating that idea to an actual jersey though.

Finnish and Slovak jerseys turned out alright at least.

I actually really like the Slovakia ones. I don't mind the stripes at all.

I also love the simplicity of the Finnish ones.

Sweden, no offense, but I am not a fan of all yellow like that. Needs more blue.

Got my jersey (black one) from Spetch tonight and couldn't be happier with it

Thanks again for the CP discount

Why couldn't they have done something like the Canadian Olympic Snowboarding team did.

Looks like a rain coat too. But good on the Swedes for not allowing Nike to completely desecrate their national identity.

And sorry, but that Slovakia uniform is probably one of the worst. Not even using the anthem lyrics saves that mess.
