If you haven't already seen the Russia, USA, Canada, and Czech Republic jersey unveilings, here are the latest and not-so-greatest Olympic hockey jerseys.

Why, Nike, why? Below is how a hockey team SHOULD look.

They are still not as bad as what Oregon uses for football.

_{Is that RUBBER on the shoulders? What the heck? Fake lace-up collars?}

Looks like a cheap replica version of an ugly jersey.

_{Is that RUBBER on the shoulders? What the heck? Fake lace-up collars?}

Looks like a rain coat.

Toews hates them too.

Toews hates them too.

These look like 1980's leftover peewee B jerseys that are sitting under piles of old jerseys in the back corner of the storage room at the old rink in town that isn't used for hockey anymore.

The fake laces are awful.

Is this the "throwback to the 70's" Olympics?

Godawful is the word that popped into my head.

Toews hates them too.

He has the look on his face like a dog in a christmas card photo whose owners put some stupid sweater on them.

They did.

Sweden did its best to try to reign in Nike's dogs...they wanted to do the flag splattered on the jersey a la Finland or Russia and Sweden hockey officials said 'no way.' Unfortunately, Nike still removed the stripes around the arms and threw on the tacky rubber ship thing onto the shoulder area. The jerseys for every country are just awful.

I honestly don't mind them for the most part but what is up with those god awful fake laces?

"Yea, I can't believe we're wearing this crap either."

I don't think they look that bad.

Horrible...Nuff said...

Who's making the hockey jerseys this time around, Nike or Victoria's Secret?

[yzerman19]

well...it is Nike...so, what can you expect when the jersey is created by a six year old Asian child that has never seen ice, let alone ice hockey.

Why did they announce Team USA after yesterday's Winter Classic game? Weird.

I stand by my original assessment of the jerseys...sublimated stars and fake sublimated figure eight as a 'tribute' to old jersey laces = Typical Nike garbage.
