wouldnt it be hilarious if Team Canada pulled the womens and mens hockey teams out over this...I would love that...fuck you COC!!!

I admit I don't admit to understand this little flap. Canada is not allowed to have a logo? What about other countries? Russias double headed eagle...United States flag withe USA on it...whats the problem? It's a fucking maple leaf with a player on it... am I missing something?

Those are National symbols, which are allowed. The Team Canada logo is the Hockey Canada "Federation" logo. The federation logos are not allowed.

I agree that it is stupid and it does sound like the COC is using this as an excuse to make money.

Ummm, the maple leaf is a national symbol...like the stars and stripes and the double eagle for Russia. Point? Canada isn't allowed a national symbol but others are?

Yes, you are correct, but did you realize that by being the most popular sweater WORLD WIDE as far as purchases go, the money made by Hockey Canada helps keep the cost of minor hockey down? So I assume you think it is OK to make hockey even more expensive? As it is now many families are switching to soccer because they cannot afford to register their children to play our game, that is WRONG, this will just ensure more kids play soccer.
Disgusting

I still don't see why they dont just alter the logo of the federation so that the jersey logo can remain the same. I don't think fans or the players care what the logo of Hockey Canada is as long as they get to play in the same sweater that they have used for years. To me this whole thing could be easily solved but everyone is making a huge deal about it.

They should put those little Japanese anime, olympic mascots on the new jersey's.

There will be 2 things on the labels of the new jerseys - Made in China, and IOC approved, and we'll line up to pay $150 bucks a pop up for them. By we I mean you.

The Maple Leaf is a national symbol, but the hockey player is not. Although it is for us Canadian's, it's not actually a national symbol.

I believe we are allowed to keep the maple flag, because all they are bitching about is the hockey player in it.
