From Don Cherry.
Don Cherry was quoted in the Mental Floss article as saying:
“[Hockey] sweaters are now called jerseys, if you can believe it, and we’ve sort of accepted that. But in Canada, it was always called a sweater… Americans used jerseys when they were playing football; then, when they finally got around to playing hockey, they used the same name. Nowadays, most kids call sweaters jerseys. Another little part of our hockey heritage is gone.” |
Very true! Its key to note for vintage hockey garments... If it's constructed of wool, its a sweater.... If its a more modern material like durene... It's a jersey.
