Canada may have only qualified for the World Cup three times, but each kit they've worn carries a story, from their first appearance in 1986 to co-hosting the tournament this year.
Here's a brief overview of the history of Canada's World Cup kits ๐
2026: Canada unveiled three new kits ahead of its first World Cup on home soil, opting for bold designs.
All three will be worn in the group stage:
๐ด v. BIH (June 12, 1-1 Draw)
โซ v. QAT (June 18)
โช v. SUI (June 24)
With the introduction of jersey ads, the patch moved from the right side to the left in 2025 โ right next to the captain's 'C' or the alternate's 'A.'

Turns out, this is one of the coolest traditions in hockey that actually started with a poem written in a World War One battlefield ๐
