MulletMan-
I believe IIHF jerseys are Nike Pro Swift jerseys and not RBK EDGE…similar concept, but a different company.

My big question is: are these jerseys now made out of the ultra-futuristic EDGE uniform system so that they can charge more money for jerseys?

What a nice, refreshing change from the hideous vertically striped socks at the last Olympics. If only they would just leave well enough alone.

Ha! Dmitry, let’s go with a polite word and say that they are not very *organized* — I’m sure you could think of a few other words that might not pass our comment standards.

I doubt you’ll hear back from them. The IIHF are not very… can’t find the right word…

@ Sovsport: Nowhere yet. The IIHF’s site is selling last year’s jersey designs in the 2008 IIHF Championship Store. I’ve requested more information regarding the retro-vintage designs but have not yet heard back.

@ ADR, you are absolutely correct. I got that mixed up with the 1932 winter games that was also held at Lake Placid.
@ Editor – fixed
Thanks for the corrections. (I was never good at history anyway)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_Winter_Olympics Give Squaw Valley some much needed credit. I was at those games and am certain they were not in New York. I have not stepped a foot in New York since 1942 and will never again!

Just a minor fact correction that I am sure you will get from others – the 1960 US Gold medal was won at Squaw Valley, CA. Other than that, keep up the great work on the blog.
