'Ah, The Canada Olympic Jerseys Are Gonna Suck Again': Fans React To Jersey Tease

Fans React to Canada's Olympic Jersey Tease

Hockey Canada revealed a sneak peek of the jerseys the Olympic teams will wear in Milan, sparking mixed reactions among fans even before the official unveiling.

Color Controversy

Though the full details are not yet clear, it seems the new jerseys will include thick black stripes on the arms and possibly the black maple leaf used in Beijing. This choice has drawn criticism from fans who feel black is not a part of Canada’s traditional color scheme.

"I’ve never seen Black on a Canadian Flag," tweeted @CalderSnub22 on X.
"I’ll never understand the obsession of adding black to our color scheme," added @kjc_2599 on X.

Comparison to Previous Jerseys

Fans pointed out similarities to the previous Olympic jerseys, expressing disappointment over the lack of change.

"So basically the same as the previous Olympic jerseys? Logos and strips look the same. Disappointing," tweeted @curmudgeonaf.

Previous Performance and Expectations

The Beijing team, which wore the black maple leaf and did not include NHL players, was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Sweden. This performance has contributed to fans’ desire for a refreshed look.

Official Unveiling and Tournament Success

The jerseys will be officially revealed on Thursday. This design deviates from the red and white uniforms worn during the 4 Nations Face-Off, where Team Canada emerged victorious.

"It's a shame because the 4 Nations jersey was elite," expressed @DrCrackOfficial on X.

Fans remain hopeful that the final design will better capture Canada’s hockey spirit and legacy.

Summary: The new Canada Olympic jerseys teased by Hockey Canada have sparked debate over their black accents, with fans divided between tradition and change ahead of the official reveal.
