The jerseys for USA, Sweden, Finland and Canada, who will participate in the 4 Nations Face-Off, were officially released on Friday.
The jerseys for the 4 Nations Face-Off were officially released on Friday, giving fans their best look at the sweaters yet. That included the blue USA jerseys and the red Canadians sweaters that will fill the Bell Centre with vibrant colors for their highly anticipated"best-on-best" showdown.
"The guys had the opportunity to see some prototypes before we went to mass production. The feedback that we've received after they've had a chance to put them on for various marketing promotional activities has been extraordinarily positive," said Rob Zepp, NHLPA senior director for international strategy & growth."Obviously they're excited to put these jerseys on, some of them for the first time on this grand of a stage.
"What we wanted to do is really create this elegant aesthetic that was celebrating the American flag," said Dom Fillion, creative director for Fanatics. "We thought was such a powerful statement when we talk about sports and a nation and people coming together as one," Fillion said.Canada's uniform includes historic nods to the past but done in a"more modern progressive look." Quite a history moment here for a Team Canada jersey: Someone finally found a way to incorporate maple into the design."White maple," to be exact, which is used for colored accents around the sweater.
"Some historic nods to the past, but always done in this more modern progressive look," Fillion said.Finland's uniforms feature the wordmark that reads"Suomi," the Finnish word for Finland. The Finns are wearing white for the 4 Nations Face-Off, which Fillion said is meant to evoke"the vast winter landscape" of the country.
