[afrobomber11]

i dont know about the rest of you

BUT I FOR ONE AM D OFF that they wont let canada use the hockey canada logo

its not our flag but its a great symbol of our hockey tradition


sweden gets the triple crown
usa gets the hockey usa logo
finland gets the traditional "suomi"
germany gets the black eagle
russia gets there parlamentary symbol
same as czech
and slovakia has the small ship portion of their flag

now you tell me whens the last time these guys have had different

but were told by our own olympic commitee that we cant

BULLPLOP

i for one want to start a d**n petition im SOOOOOO MAD about this whole situation, im ready to burst into flames

so anyone else wanna aggravate me or agree to fight the cause is welcome to an opinion

Well, it is cheezy that we cannot use our logo. I will argue both sides.

Canada has used the hockey FCanada logo for the past 3 olympics, so it basically has been grandfathered in.

It is against IOC rules to have a logo, not the Canadian rules. The IOC just has been lax with it forever.

The other side, it is a "Hockey Canada" logo. Not an olympic team patch. They can still put a maple leaf and all the sorts on it, they probably just have to take the hockey player out of the middle.

Think of it this way. CBC can for sure make a contest out of this?!?!?!

i hate this. i dont see what the problem is. but the dumb part is we can use it in all the other games but not in the 2010 winter games.

Would be cool if they used the ones from the 1970's.

Maybe the 1/2 maple leaf that was from the 'ole Canada Cup / World Junior days
