“At the Olympic Games, unlike other international events, there are precise rules for the motifs that can be used on the jerseys,” explains the Secretary General of Czech Hockey, Martin Urban.

“National emblems or country names are allowed, not national federation logos, for example. We opted for the traditional national emblem and additional elements so that other national symbols such as the flag or colors were represented on the jerseys, “adds Urban.

The logo of the Czech Olympic team with the national flag and Olympic rings will be placed on the right sleeve, and spatially rendered motifs based on the national flag will be placed on the shoulder stirrup. The back of the jersey is, as usual, reserved for the player’s last name and number.

Czech para hockey players will also perform in Beijing in the same jerseys, and if they advance from the qualification, also the women’s national team.

“The general concept with which we prepared the jerseys of the tournament participants is ‘Let’s respect the past, imagine the future,'” said Brett Jones of Nike, which prepares the jerseys.

“In the case of the Czech national team, we chose the slogan ‘Born Warriors, a combination of pride’. The designers were inspired by her way of playing, her desire for victory and her successful history. Of interest are the spatially conceived motifs in the shoulder part based on the geometry of the national flag and resembling knight’s armor, “said Jones.

The Czechs will enter the Olympic tournament in Beijing on Wednesday, February 9 at 14:10 CET against Denmark. Two days later, coach Filip Pešán’s charges await a fight with Switzerland from 9:40 CET, and on Saturday, February 12, at 2:10 PM CET, he will compete against Olympic athletes from Russia.
