modano1973 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Does anyone know if the men's Team USA squad wore the blue USA jersey during game play at the 1998 Olympics? All the photos i have located online, including GettyImages, show the team only wearing the white jersey on the ice during the 1998 Olympics. I was about to have the blue jersey customized with Modano's name and number but the 1998 Olympic squad may not have worn the blue jersey on the ice. Photo courtesy of akteon from a previous post.

akteon Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I dunno if they wore it on the ice, but they sure rocked it with a turtleneck for the official team photos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modano1973 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Ha ha gotta love the turtlenecks they wore for the team photos. Pity they never wore the blue jerseys on the ice during the 98 Olympics, if it turned out they didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 They did NOT wear it on the ice. They wore white in every single game they played during the tournament: Belarus, Canada, Sweden and the Czechs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I wouldn't say that's enough to warrant NOT doing it up the way you want though. They obviously had them ready to go if they had faced a team who would have worn white. I can pretty much guarantee that there's a blue Modano out there somewhere so you're probably good to do one of your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modano1973 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I definitely will have the jersey done up with Modano's name and number. It's a great looking jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 They did NOT wear it on the ice. They wore white in every single game they played during the tournament: Belarus, Canada, Sweden and the Czechs. I never knew that and it's odd. Really odd. You'd think they would have been the designated road team for half their games, and if not, worn the blues at least once. Even Sweden, who loves to wear their yellow jerseys wears blue at times. On that same note, the Czechs wear red for a large percentage of their games too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
