akteon Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 USA Hockey will unveil the three versions of the Nike Olympic jersey that its men's team will wear during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games on Monday, Aug. 17, at 10 a.m. in the NHL Rink at Seven Bridges Ice Arena. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=463373 I'm looking forward to seeing what they came up with, especially since there's a 3rd jersey. Unfortunately I dislike the Nike SWIFT jerseys even more than the RBK Edge, so I doubt I'll pick one up unless the design is so good it's a must have. Or the US wins the gold.

Yzerman fan Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm a bit bummed because I love the USA logo right now. Hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yzerman fan Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 http://twitpic.com/e8qbi Praying this is just a third jersey or something...I don't like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Here's the best pic I've seen. The 3rd jersey is a the first white one, the throwback style. Supposedly it's not the Nike Swift material/style which is great news. The pic is from a Thugnation, a member of jerseycentral.org (I don't want to take any credit for his great scoop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousd Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Those are pretty "meh." I know it's not true to the flag, but I liked the national team jerseys better when they used a brighter blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyCoyote Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I quite like the dark blue, and the throwback's OK. Like Canada though it's same jersey different logo. The guys at Nike must've been up all night coming up with those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzerman fan Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 The thirds are ok,but the others are just lame. I'm sorry. BORING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffB Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 From what I've seen of them, without getting a look at the subtle details I've heard about, I give them a passing grade due to their simplicity which gives them a retro feel, as well as a lack of "stupid" that the first Nike Swifts had with those weird vertical arm stripes that started and stopped in the middle of the sleeves and those really odd zebra stripes on the lower sides of the jerseys. I guess I won't be getting excited about the new ones because they are so plain, and it's somewhat sad that I like them "because they aren't stupid". I should be given more of a reason to like them than "they suck less than the old ones." don't you think? I'm not sure why such a simple looking jersey needs a similar retro looking third jersey to go with it though. Actually, they would have really been better off to keep the 1960 throwback as the home jersey and make a blue version of it for the road. I'd kill for a blue version of the third. That would have been sharp as a tack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yeah you aint kidding. That blue version would have been AWESOME. I really dig the 3rds the way they are now and will probably grab one...especially since IJ takes PayPal now! WOO-HOO!! I really don't mind the new jerseys. The design, like Jeff said, has that classic feel to it. That's always a plus in this game. I'd love to see them go back to that richer, more royal blue though. I love that color in these jerseys.

akteon Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 PuckDaddy is reporting that the texture effect on the navy jerseys is the same pattern used by Nike for the Beijing Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madflava Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 PuckDaddy is reporting that the texture effect on the navy jerseys is the same pattern used by Nike for the Beijing Olympics Ugh, the blue jersey may go down as one of the worst Team USA jerseys of all time if it has that stupid texture effect. I do like the throwback third jersey and I hope Nike sells those as authentics come October. I would love to get either Patrick Kane, Zach Parise, Bobby Ryan, or future USA national team player John Carlson on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Nike Pics of Blue Jersey Just found the blue jersey available on the Nike site... It has some really good pics if you are wanting to see closeups of the new patterns. Unfortuneatly, Nike says what they are selling is the Authentic for $125, so I'm pretty sure its the replica versions. The IceJerseys twitter said they would have them in around Oct. 1, so I'm hoping to see some authentics show up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcdude Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yeah those are replicas. If the sizes are S, M, L, XL its replica. Authentic sizing are between 44-60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going the last two days of regulation play so it's when all the rivalry games are. Picked up a game worn Toby Enstrom Sweden jersey last week, now I'm waiting for the rest to come out for retail. This trip is giving me reason for a lot of new jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
