0695: Finland in Sochi

It's been a treat these last several weeks to see the various creative jersey designs Eric Westhaver has put forth for the countries being represented in Sochi next month. Today is no exception as he deals up a fresh look for Finland. See his comments below.

Simple, traditional. Another sharp look with a lot of contrast for a team steeped in history. Although all three jerseys look old, they are completely original creations (besides the logos, obviously).

We'll wrap up Eric's Sunday series next weekend with the Latvian team.

That 3rd jersey is gorgeous, just take my money!

Perfect front of the jersey. Perhaps a different and more traditional font for the player's name and number would make it among the all-time greats as the Finnish jerseys have always been appealing.

These are way better than what the Fins are going to wear. These are excellent.

the second sweater is fantastic...being Finnish, it is almost a crime to not have the soumi wordmark on the jersey somewhere which is the only exception I take to the first one (I seem to recall one of the international juniors tourneys featured a Finn jersey without the soumi...maybe?). But that two-tone blue with the icy-teal is a stellar look.
