As we approach the 2022 Beijing Olympics, I’ll be showcasing national team concepts from around the world on Saturdays. Today we have Dallas Kirkpatrick tackling his home country of Canada. He writes:
My approach with this series was to produce "my ideal jersey" for each team, while also paying attention to current Nike trends and styling. Essentially, were Nike to hire me to design the Olympics for them, this would have been my take on it.
As I did on our Talkback video, I'll again point out that 2022 is the 50th anniversary of the Summit Series, which is why that jersey is included in Canada's set—personally I think it would be awesome to see McDavid and Crosby wearing those in a game, even just once!
You can watch Dallas’s recent appearance on The Talkback here discussing his disappointment with some of Nike’s new Olympic sweaters.
We’ll see the next entry in his series a week from today!
