A day after Team Canada posted their Olympic sweaters, the United States released theirs.
The United States’ sweaters feature the USA wordmark across the chest in a bold and beveled typeface to create a “metallic aesthetic.” On the white version of the jerseys, the crest logo is outlined in red, white, and blue stripes.
The Hershey Bears might have lost to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms 3-0, but they looked like champions in their specialty jerseys, Saturday night.
In homage of their founding company, the Bears wore chocolate-covered jerseys featuring a chocolate drip down a tan base color. The jersey design went viral as the NHL and many other national outlets covered the sweet sweaters days before the game.
Via the Hershey Bears and Chocolate Hockey, here’s how the jerseys looked out on the ice and during the game.
Pat Murphy shared a photo on Twitter that’s gotten tremendous interaction on the social media site. The longtime Washington Capitals fan has collected a jersey of every member from the Caps’ Game 5 Stanley Cup-winning lineup. In his photo, he arranged all the jerseys in their lines and defensive pairings.
“I’ve always looked at jerseys as a cool way to hold on to favorite players even after they move on,” Pat said in an interview. “I also just have a natural inclination to gravitate towards the guys doing the bottom-six work. The whole project essentially kicked off after the Stanley Cup win when I realized that, just by chance, I was only six or so players short of the roster and I thought, ‘this would be a pretty cool way to remember the Capitals’ first Stanley Cup.”
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin reached the pinnacle of his future Hall of Fame career (so far) in June 2018, becoming playoff MVP and gleefully raising the Stanley Cup for the first time. Ovi then lived his best life celebrating with the NHL’s championship trophy. He invented the Cup stand, slept with the Stanley Cup, and swam shirtless in the fountains of the Georgetown Waterfront.
These moments captivated NHL fans and made one of the most popular and most marketable players in the league even more popular.
According to ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski, Ovechkin’s jersey sales during the 2018-19 season are more than any other player.
The NHL and Adidas officially announced environmentally-conscious All-Star jerseys on Wednesday. The black and white sweaters, inspired by the color of ice and pucks, are created with Parley Ocean Plastic, materials made from upcycled marine plastic debris. According to the NHL, each jersey is crafted to be a symbol of change in the movement to protect the oceans.
Black Parley authentic Capitals jerseys landed in the NHL Shop for the first time on Friday.
The NHL has released its annual All-Star jerseys after an announcement tease that they would be made out of recycled ocean plastics in a joint partnership with Adidas and Parley.
For the first time in NHL All-Star game history, each player will rep their team’s logo on the front of the jersey during both the skills competition and game. The Capitals representatives are John Carlson and Braden Holtby, with a last-man vote still running to send Nicklas Backstrom as well.

Team USA takes it outdoors tomorrow to play Canada during the World Junior Championship. The matchup is the first ever top-level IIHF World Championship game to be played outside.
Being hosted at New Era Field, the home of the Buffalo Bills, Team USA and Nike didn’t look far for inspiration for the team’s uniforms.

Sunday night, the San Jose Barracuda, the AHL affiliate of the San Jose Sharks, hosted, what I would consider, a Very Special event. The Barracuda held their inaugural Pucks and Paws night against their geographical rival, the San Diego Gulls. Similar to baseball’s Pups in the Park evenings, attendees could bring their best friend to the game.
What made this event even more incredible, however, were the unique dog inspired jerseys worn by the Barracuda and the team’s bobblehead giveaway.
