Finland becomes first team to unveil 2022 Olympic jerseys

Prior to their final game of the 2021 Karjala Cup, Finland unveiled their jerseys for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China. Former Finnish national team members Kimmo Timonen and Annina Rajahuhta were on hand to help with the reveal.

The "home" jersey has dark blue as it's base colour with a lighter shade of blue as a stripe across the middle of the uniform and sleeves, along with white lettering. The "away" jersey is white and also has a stripe across the middle and on the sleeves, with blue lettering. The bigger stripe in the middle of both jerseys appears to have a pattern of either a circle or flowers.

Finland's women's team will be the first to wear the new jerseys when they take on the United States on February 3rd. They'll be in a group that consists of Canada, the Russian Olympic Committee, Switzerland and the United States.

The men's team will play their first game on February 10th against Slovakia, followed by Latvia on February 11th, then they'll wrap up the group stage against their archrival, Sweden, on February 13th.
