#USAHockey jerseys for Olympics that men-women will wear/patches for 1960, 1980 gold medal winners -wasnt there another? O yeah, women 1998
and Ray's only American by marriage!
Granted his wife was the captain of that 1998 team, so it's understandable
I do agree with him though.

I think the Men's team should have its own patches and the women's theirs.
In fact. I think it would be cool if Olympic jerseys were done similarly to the World Cup stars on jerseys.

Well, so far, it seems each jersey will be commemorating number of gold medals so far. The only did the two, but Russia has 8 stars on their jerseys signifying each time they won gold as USSR/Russia/Unified team.
The fake laces are awful. I'm interested to see how Canada's turn out.

Is there a bronze in women's hockey? Isn't it just Canada vs USA every time? Its like a coin toss for Gold, i'm nto sure it should count.

most Olympics it's Canada and USA in the Gold Medal game, Sweden and Finland in the Bronze. the one exception to this was in Torino. the USA team played like total crap and were lucky to come out with a Bronze. Sweden put up a valiant fight against Canada but just couldn't match up skill-wise.

I like the blue jersey except for the fake laces, the white is generic looking but its okay. I do like the logo for sure.

Even Canada can't escape Nike. Note the fake laces, and glossy maple leaves on the shoulders.
Should be noted this is a leaked photo and nothing is official yet.

Times are tough. They should be thankful they got a stripe at all.

What is with the fake laces and plastic looking stars (US) and leaf (Canada)? This are ugly jerseys.

I wouldn't call those fake laces. Looks like some kind of shoe/sock hybrid.
