Just following up on yesterday's scoop regarding a new look for Team Canada here. Seems it's official now.
They're being called "retro-futuristic" if that's even possible and TSN has more on the story.
Go online and buy yours now.
Hope all you Canadians like them.

Did you see what I did there? I'm a day late on the joke, but still. To thank all you Pennsylvanians for going out in record numbers to perform your civic duty, I have concept art tailored especially to you.
We'll begin with a cool new logo redesign for the Penguins.
It's a really sharp logo that pays tribute to the past in a big way while also bringing something new to the table. There are also jerseys to go with it.
The black one doesn't do much for me, but oddly enough, the white one blows me away. I think it's the shoulder striping.
A likely third jersey candidate for the Pens going into next season is a version of the powder blue sweater they wore for the Winter Classic.
But stepping outside of that for a moment brings us some interesting designs. This dark blue strikes me as slightly strange, however.
And remember the days when gold was actually yellow (though no one wanted to admit it)? Well there's a little more where that came from.
We'll wrap up our Pennsylvania trip in Philly. Not much to speak of with this.
But one designer came up with a notion of what might well be a good candidate as an alternate for the Flyers next season.
They could do worse.
A reader emailed in to say that apparently Team Canada will be unveiling a new look next month. CBC has the story if you're interested. I'll post pictures here when it happens so keep checking back.
UPDATE (3:13 PM): Shortly after I posted this information I got an email with "leaked" in the subject line which always makes me wary. But if for no other reason than to cover all my bases, I figured I'd post these pictures and see what you guys make of them. This isn't something I'm following very closely, not being Canadian myself (though if wishing made it so), but perhaps some of you might have answers.
Post your comments and conspiracy theories below.
