0068: Trying Out for Team Canada
We haven't really featured any national teams on the new Concepts page yet, so let's try one today. Nick Burton shares a new look for Team Canada with us. I'm a fan, but then I'm not Canadian. What do all you Canadians think of it? And if you guys have anymore international concepts to send in, maybe I can get another theme week going.

Meh. Would be nice to see an original logo used instead of the 80's version. I'm Canadian and would love to see a contest or something rebranding all nations, but using original logos of course.
I like the logo the most. It's a step up from the red-white-black Maple Leaf logo (since when did black become one of Team Canada's colours anyways?)
The Black gloves don't really fit in with the rest of the jersey and I'd rather see the new hockey Canada logo than the old one. All in all I'd give it three stars
I really like the red. I'm not a fan of the shoulder style used on the white sweater, but it's a popular look these days so that's probably just me. That's how Canadian sweaters should be, simple and straight up.
nice and simple but... too close to Detroit (and even TB with the single thick stripe). With the IIHF WC coming up in a week, it would be great to see all the national teams redone (and there are 16 of them).
Nick man, They relegated that logo to the Spengler boys for a reason... I do like the simplified striping though...
I'm an American, but I love these. And I really love the idea of an International Jersey Week to see what some of our designers can do. So far Nick has us off to a good start.
I actually really like this. It is very similar to Detroit's jerseys however I think for a National Team it works way better because you want them to be somewhat simplistic, where as Detroit could use a makeover.
Travis mentioned the black, but I actually really like it. Gives it a nice contrast without giving it a typical bland everything red with some white stripes.
I really like this one. This crest is so much better than the one they use now, I wish they'd go back to this.
My favourite jerseys are the ones we won the gold in. But I want to see them in red pants and gloves and helmets. Red pants with two thin white stripes up the side like the Kings do now with black and silver. If I had any design skills at all I'd do it myself.
I like it, although I would get rid of all the black. All-red look would be fine to me.
The 1976 and 1987 Canada Cup jerseys are still my favourites. Simple, clean, elegant. Would love to see these again. I'm not even sure they could be 'moderninzed' properly; that could be interesting.
