Jersey History |
Getting younger here with a jersey from the World Junior Championships. Spain in general has been making some great strides with their programs. They joined the IIHF on March 10, 1923 and currently rank #30 for men's in the world, #25 for women's in the world, and reside in Division I Group B for men's IIHF tournaments. This jersey is from the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship Division II Group A. The tournament would be hosted by Romania taking place in Brasov. Spain would do alright tournament coming in 4th, out of 6, with a record of 2-0-1-2 (W-OTW-OTL-L). Italy would end up winning the tournament with Korea taking 2nd and Great Britain taking 3rd.
This jersey was game worn during the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship Division II Group A. Being in the lower divisions, the jersey would be made of Tackla's Airknit material which was very soft, form fitting, and includes a tie down fight strap. The IIHF logo would be sublimated on the front neck area and the IIHF main logo would be sublimated on the back bottom hem. The tagging includes the IIHF Authentic Collection tag as well as Tackla's retail tag and size in letter form.
The main crest would be the coat of arms of Spain with "ESPAÑA" below it which are both sublimated on. The Real Federación Española de Deportes de Hielo (Royal Spanish Ice Sports Federation) logo would be sublimated on the shoulders as well. The numbers are sublimated onto the jersey and the name is sublimated onto the nameplate which is sewn to the jersey. This jersey was worn during games against Great Britain losing 2-7, Italy losing 1-2, and Romania winning 1-0. This jersey style would be worn for IIHF tournaments from 2019-2022. LaLiga would be the main jersey sponsor for this time.
