the white jersey reminds me of a soccer jersey/rugby jersey with the red horizontal stripe

That was Guerin? Man, he looks like a homeless person who just woke up from an Aqua Velva bender.

I can't stop laughing at this!!

I don't know if it's because adding the collar would confirm golf's superiority to hockey in the States, or if it's simply because the collar looks so stupid on its own...

...OR (and this is the most likely reason it's so funny to me), because the look on Guerin's face combined with the collar is just so hilarious.

Man. I gotta get out more.

Ha ha ha! Like, that guy played PRO HOCKEY!!

Imagine showing that pic to a non-hockey-knowledgable friend and trying to convince him of that fact!

"No, man, seriously! Guerin was a big-time American talent! Ya, I know that he looks like the guy waiting to interview for the vacant Golf-Town manager's spot, but he seriously was an elite athlete!"

Too good.

I thought real laces on jerseys were bad. They found a way to make it worse.

I don't like them. The fake laces are just silly and the crest looks too much like the Union Pacific logo.

Hilarious,

I really hate the fake laces. I really hope Canada doesn't follow suite, those are terrible!

When will our jersey design be released?

Guy on the left better be careful - that jersey looks an awful lot like "propaganda" to me!

Edit: It's a woman isn't it. Oh well.

American here.

Don't mind the crest all that much, but hate absolutely everything else about these jerseys. Awful.

Lol those are atrocious jerseys. Is it just me or do they seem a little flamboyant as well? Maybe its the Americans' way of protesting the Russians anti gay laws.

That US jersey looks stupid. In fact, their entire flag/stripes n stars theme they got going on is stupid.

Yeah, I like the crest. Strongest part of the sweater. The fake laces and stars are a big eyesore. Remove those and add a little substance to the white jersey and they would look a lot better.

I take it all back, I just looked at the US jerseys and their "awefullness" is completely newsworthy. I kept looking for the Marvel patch on the bottom and ?I expected the back of the Jersey to have "Captain America" with the number 2 stitched on, and to think the Americans were making fun of Team Canada playing ball hockey

Is it bad form to quote yourself???
