0359: The Canadians

The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are now less than a year away. So in that spirit, this is International Week on the Concepts page! All week I'll be featuring a variety of national teams. We start today with Ryan Haslett's take on the defending gold medal champion Canadians.

I don't like wordmarks as logos, however, I have to say this is AMAZING! As a canadian, I would live to see the team wear this in Sochi and wiouldn't hesitate to purchase one either. Great job, Ryan!

LOVE the shoulder patch. The only change I would make is to have the stripes on the front the same colour-order as the ones on the sleeve. Other than that, this is a fantastic design.

Canada's colours do not include black; not sure why its the dominant colour on this jersey. Would love to see it in red and white with splashes of black

I do not think Canada should have black shirts , but I still like the design , so it gets the thumbs up !

I've been hoping Canada would return to the dark side since they ditched the black a few years ago, this would be an awesome way to do it!

As much as I think this is a cool design, I just can't envision the guys wearing anything but the uniforms from 2010. Absolutely picture perfect. At least except for the placement of the "C" or "A"

But do non-captains/alternate captains get the maple leaf on the front?

Great idea of putting the maple leaf on the Captain's C (or A). Great sweater layout, but would prefer red and white versions with black only as an accent color. I would also like it with a two-color number/letter kit.

But those criticisms aside, great jersey! Black would look stunning as a third jersey!

This really does look like something I would see at The Bay. Love it!

Regarding Non-Captains not getting the Maple Leaf on the front, their's would simply not have an "A" or "C" inside it.
