I guess if you were to call it a jersey you would also be correct. But to get to with the lingo it's called a sweater. And the other 21 guys on your team all are united with this attire.

Your jersey and team is what you fight to win for. It's all part of the romance of the beautiful game on ice.

This blog will talk about those sweaters, why we remember certain hockey jerseys and why they are the coolest uniform in sports.
