This is the dumbest uniform-related brouhaha I’ve seen since the NWSL cleat debacle

The IIHF signed a contract with TRUE Hockey in 2025 to become the "exclusive supplier of team uniforms and apparel for all IIHF Member National Associations for all international events." In a Swiss court-ruling involving Hockey Canada and the IIHF on Sept. 16, the design of the generic IIHF-designed jerseys were shown in official court documents.
