Ice Hockey Jerseys
Hello there!
My husband and I will be travelling to the Czech Rep., Germany and Austria for Christmas this year. He is an avid hockey fan and would like to buy a National ice hockey jersey from each country we visit.
Might anyone have any ideas on where to buy such things? We land in Prague on Dec 25, then travel down the Danube on the 27 thru 31, arriving in Vienna on Dec 31.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Stephanie

You can order a jersey of the German national team online:
www.deb-shop.de
However, the website is in German.
The price is 75 Euros.

Thank you for the responses!
We have decided to go see a Czech elite game on Dec 26, totally excited about that.
Can not wait to get over there. Counting the days..160!

Hmmm.
I am trying to respond to this last post with out sounding rude or aggresive.
I live in Canada, play ice hockey and have bought many many NHL and other team jerseys over the last few years.
I would think that jersey is the word of choice. You rarely hear "hockey sweater" unless you are discussing the NHL of the 1920s or so.
I am not sure where you live Goldwynn but anywhere I have travelled in our great country it has been jersey.
But you are correct, there are jersey cows too. Hee hee.

......and all three of you have been listening to too much American TV.
And there is NO "ice hockey" in Canada either.
It is called hockey.....there is NO preface.
And I hail from Northern Ontario where some of the legends of hockey were born.......ever hear of Tim Horton? And I played hockey as a youngster with my favourite hockey sweater.
And as a Habs fan you no doubt have heard the story of Roch Carrier, the Quebec author of "Le chandail de Hockey" (The Hockey Sweater) which was written in 1979.
Nope......no jersey here......not in this Canada.
Don`t worry about being rude or aggressive. Most Fodorites are strong and steady.......just get the facts.

I partly agree with Goldwynn. The proper traditional word is "hockey sweater", but "jersey" has become the predominant usage in Canada. Even the Canadian Oxford Dictionary accepts "hockey jersey" (but it also defines "sweater" as "sports jersey".) Another loss of tradition!
Of course it doesn't help that they (NHL versions at least) are made of some mysterious fabric concocted in the Reebok laboratories.

...and you must be Don Cherry in disguise. And Guy Lafleur used to play without a helmet. Things change, things move on. And what's your point about Roch's book? What's that got to do with anything? That the translation of chandail proves it's a sweater? And if the Canadian Oxford dictionary accept the term 'jersey' then Stephainie should be just fine.
Sorry but when I was growing up in Montreal, it was a jersey. You could also say sweater but it's, um, not a sweater, is it?
btw, I don't watch American TV. I live in London, UK

I think the point is that if someone walked into a SportsCheck in Vancouver and asked for a Hocky Sweater, the teenager working there probably would not know what you were asking as they are now commonly called Jerseys. Ice Hockey they would understand (although it most definitely is only called Hockey). Sweater may be the historically correct name, but most people in BC would say Jersey now.

Lol. Who would have thought that an innocent post could cause such a debate?
Jersey, uniform, sweater - they all the mean the same thing. It may be a generational difference, who knows?
As for knowing Tim Horton, how about Dan Cleary - he is from my neck of the woods.
One more thought, I specified ice hockey as we are on an international board and I wanted to be clear in my question. Rollar, inline, ball or field hockey jerseys were not of interest to me. For sure, when I am on the way to the rink, I am going to play hockey. But I find, it helps to be exact when looking for information.
Cheers.

ever hear of Tim Horton?
____
Sure great donuts.

As an American hockey player we called them jerseys as well. The only problem is that I live in NY and we have the New Jersey Devils across the river and no one wants to say I have a jersey, it sounds so disloyal.
