But after a campaign among fans and media the tree crowns (wich represent the foundation of Sweden as a country) returned in the mid 80`s.<br /><br />Apart from loving the Tre Kronor-jersey, I like the German jersey because it resembles my favorite teams jersey in the SEL.SwedeTomhttp://www.brynasportalen.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367546586408407055.post-73434905093025501922010-07-23T21:54:33.100-05:002010-07-23T21:54:33.100-05:00You have to admit that the Russians wore some pret...You have to admit that the Russians wore some pretty sweet socks. <br />http://macleans.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/100224_russia.jpgvtcapsfan99noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367546586408407055.post-37878860671572127462010-07-23T21:19:52.838-05:002010-07-23T21:19:52.838-05:00I don't want to rank all of them, but I've...I don't want to rank all of them, but I've personal biases towards Deutschland and Der Schweiss.

In fact, it's very similar to almost every World Cup/Euro Jersey the nation has ever worn. If I had to do a ranking, it would be:<br /><br />1.Sweden<br />2. Belarus<br />3. United States<br />4. Russia<br />5. Latvia<br />6. Deutschland (uber alles minus the above)<br />7. Finland<br />8. Canada<br />9. Slovakia<br />10. Czech Republic<br />11. Switzerland<br />12. Norway<br /><br />You're probably wondering why I bumped Norway down to last, but in my opinion their jersey is the bastard child of the jerseys of the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers. It also could be related to the Russian Jersey, as very little separate them, but ultimately I have to give the nod to the Russians for the better-looking version of the two.Calvin Poehttp://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=575560377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367546586408407055.post-66151805333654599332010-07-23T19:15:19.768-05:002010-07-23T19:15:19.768-05:0011.
