Pete Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 They were sweaters before they were jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 They have always been called sweaters because the original jerseys were sweaters. And a Toque is a hat, like the goaltenders were wearing in yesterdays game over the top of their helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 You prefer the term 'beanie' instead? :p well... i just prefer HAT. lol. if you're showing a picture of it, there's no need to use a term that's apparently primarily "canadian" according to the wiki article for toque (yes, great resource. lol). i hadn't heard the term until this year.

Phil Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Toque is a predominantly Canadian slang for "beanie", or "hat". General rule of thumb is that if the hat folds over at the rim, and has that little dangly ball thing at the top, it's a toque. If it doesn't, it's a "beanie" — at least in the U.S. Also, as has been pointed out here already, when the NHL was in it's infancy, players wore actual sweaters on the ice that were embroidered with team logos and numbers. Sweaters actually became jerseys, actual jersey-material, later on at some point. This is why some folks get irked when old timers still refer to jerseys as sweaters.

Revolution Rock Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I used to have an awesome replica sweater Rangers jersey, I dont know what happened to it, I have to find it. The NHL store in the city used to have a few vintage style Ranger sweaters that were either cotton or wool. Looked pretty nice, but was pricey. Found a photo. They looked like this: http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/ml7S-xlt4jZZpQda3OKj9nA.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
