This is somewhat unfortunate. Like, I like the bright colours, but why put them in a spot where they will largely be covered by bibs?   It's like so many countries always completely forget that there are...you know...large bibs covering large parts of the design. Same with Brazil all the time, they so often go with some boring white stuff that has some blue/green accents but then they put those in a place covered with a bib so nobody sees them.    Didn't see Brazil's choice yet but I'm putting some money on 'largely white, unrecognizable as Brazil and with blue and green little triangles', meh.

Finland. Meanwhile, the designers for the French jerseys were told they had to design one and had 2 minutes to complete the task or what happened there?

Mongolia absolute top once again ❤️   look for their uniforms over the net (can't search for and post pictures right now), they're just wonderful

As well as Vancouver's.

Ooooh toronto   

No.

Having both  and  already at least in top 6, means 5th place match will not be deciding for next years WCH qualification.   If  beats  today, 3rd place in group is guaranteed, and with that next WCH.
