I loved those, I was gifted a game worn U-18 Team Canada (White and puck marks) from when my buddy represented Team Canada. ODR favourite and I wear it when watching Canada play. I also have a Rick Nash 2010 Olympic Jersey(good memories/vibes jersey).

Yeah...it looks like the Glendale Community College flag.

The Maple leaf is much better on the curling uniforms though. The one they put on the hockey jersey is just embarrassing.

Not a fan at all of the maple leaf. If you were not Canadian, you might not know what the heck it was.

Yeah. Take out the gold and replace it with white and the black might be okay.

Wait … you’re not a fan of the Maple Leaf in general??

Or not a fan of THIS version of the Maple Leaf?

The ones that arent blind are likely syphilitic.

Thats what you get when you keep inviting Kevin Lowe.

The red and black look like something the villain might wear in a low-grade comic book, maybe Captain Canuck's evil twin.

Also, that much thigh gap for hockey shorts is weird, right? Is the designer an alien whose only exposure to humanity is supermodels?

Pretty much all focus groups are made up of blind wombats.

I was not a big fan of the leaf design on those. It reminds me of Christmas cookies.

Split98, the king of jersey concepts, came up with this subtle change that makes the jersey 1000x better.

Not a fan of a new maple leaf design every few years. I mean, how many iterations of a stylized maple leaf have we seen now? They should just design a nice crest, like many of the Euro countries, and stick with it for all international competition.

black gloves and pants looks stupid, especially with the white jersey. Not quite blue pants and gloves stupid, like the 87 Canada Cup, but stupid nonetheless

This. Absolutely this.

The abomination on the left is not a Canadian maple leaf. It would be like drawing Mickey Mouse with square ears, or the McDonald's logo with circular arches.

One of the first rules of marketing is— don't mess with the trademark. When you're dealing not with trademarks but with national symbols, that goes approximately triple.

Focus groups are made up of tasteless, tacky morons who have nothing better to do than attend focus groups.

Don’t insult blind wombats, they’ve got a disability.
