Hockey Unis (Is this acceptable to everyone?)

Mr. Friend O' and I will disagree about the terminology but The Hockey Sweater is a tremendous piece of literature.

 

That reminds me, does anyone know where I can find a Minnesota Fighting Saints sweater/jersey [ah forget it, being politically correct in hockey doesn't work], other than e-bay? I've always wanted one. Thanks.

 

Sometimes, you just gotta say, "Fuck 'em."
FYI: In soccer, it's a kit.

 

And in Scotland, it's a kilt.

 

One of my favorite uniform logos of all time ...

 

Have to agree with FoF here. It's a hockey sweater and no, that usage is not an affectation but it IS Canadian.

And yes, this short story (very short) practically defines every aspect of Canada.

They also made a animated short.

 

You owe me a book for this...

Sweater, sox and pants, not jersey, leggings and breezers. This is straight from the home town of River City Sports. And the original Whalers colour was green. If you Google, you should be able to find a site with all the WHA sweaters.

 

This is a pretty solid site. Although I'd love to know what the marketing and promotions office of the Canucks were smoking in 1978.

 

All of which are donned, or shed, in a dressing room.

 

They were called sweaters (as they are in the story) because they actually were sweaters.

Calling a mesh jersey a sweater makes as much sense as handing someone a CD and saying, "Would you play this record?"

 

Oh, let's not start bringing logic into discussions about sports terminology, unless we want to reopen the debate about why it's called "football" when the only guys who use their feet are the ones who aren't considered "football players." Just go with the traditional term.
