Canada Soccer unveiled new men’s jersey to debut at World Cup qualifiers. All three jerseys feature Nike’s Vaporknit 3 technology and a bespoke “Power Lines” font for numbering and nameplates. Canada Soccer calls it a typeface “inspired by the Maple Leaf, built from the dynamic angles and lines of Canada’s iconic and beloved symbol.” The font, owned by Canada Soccer, was designed in tandem with Toronto-based Silver Crystal Group / Silver Crystal Sports. On the back, the jersey numbers have the Canada Soccer logo embedded.

The Canadian men wore their new red jersey when they took on Aruba in World Cup qualifying in Bradenton, Fla. The women unveiled their new Nike gear in February at the SHE BELIEVES INC Cup in Florida. Canadian men’s coach John Herdman is looking forward to the new look as his team embarks on a crucial stretch of matches in CONCACAF.

“I’m really, really excited to see that,” he said Friday as his team, currently ranked 70th in the world, traveled to its new base in Sarasota, Fla., ahead of the match against No. 205 Aruba. “I think it’s an important period of time for these players. And to go and debut the new jersey is always a great feeling for players.

“I mean anything with a Maple Leaf on looks great, but definitely the new (Nike) Vaporknit shirts are a high-quality shirt and these guys will wear it with pride.”

While the Aruba match is officially an away game for Canada — held in Florida rather than Aruba due to the pandemic — Herdman’s side will be wearing its home red because Aruba plays in yellow.

Canada Soccer has the new gear available at its online store and reported that Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David and Christine Sinclair jerseys were the early top-sellers, with veteran Atiba Hutchinson also getting plenty of interest.

The men will have three tops: the home red, away white and a third black jersey.

The new women’s home jersey draws on a “distinctive mix of red colours — Challenge Red, Sport Red, and University Red — across a geometric design of maple leaves.” The women also have an away white jersey and have the same special font.

The Canada gear will also be available at select sports stores. ...

Over the weekend our partners, the @MinnesotaWild, secured their spot in the National Hockey League (NHL) playoffs in search of the first Stanley Cup title in franchise history. Three West Division teams have now locked up their spots in the postseason with Minnesota joining the @VegasGoldenKnights and @ColoradoAvalanche.

They rank eighth in the league with 2.60 goals allowed per game and have received strong play from both Cam Talbot and Kaapo Kahkonen between the pipes.

On the offensive end, rookie Calder candidate Kirill Kaprizov has spearheaded the attack with 41 points on 22 goals and 19 assists. Kaprizov broke Marian Gaborik's Minnesota rookie record for total goals in a season during an April win over the Arizona Coyotes.

"There was a lot of hype about him coming in and you never know for sure until you actually see a player how he's going to adjust, not only to the hockey, but everything off the ice, too," forward Nico Sturm told reporters. "It's undeniable he's taken this team to the next level with his play."
