Historic Team Canada Jerseys
This is a jersey supposedly from 1979. I'm not sure what teams wore it, but it is a radical departure from previous Team Canada jerseys.
Perhaps the 1979 jersey was
too radical, as in 1980 they returned to a very familiar look. This
jersey was used in the World Junior championships as well as other
tournaments not involving NHL players.
By 1982 Canada had switched yet again to a more modern look.
This is the "Dave King
era" jersey which was was used in the 1984 and 1988 Olympics.
Last but not least is the
2002 Olympic jerseys. Canada has been using this current logo since the
early 1990s for all levels of international competition. The jersey
styles change almost yearly in terms of striping along the arms and
bottom, the neck style, the lettering and numbering style and colours.
More and more black appears in the jersey as time has gone by. These
jerseys are a commercial success and everyone loves the logo that it
looks like this will be Canada's symbol of hockey pride for many years
to come
