I came in to suggest a Penguins jersey, but that’s not Canadian (as if you didn’t know). I’d say if I had to choose between the two, Canadiens is an easy choice. Also, Red Wings would be acceptable, in a pinch, but wrong nationality as well. If you could find one like **detop** suggested, I would smile a little. Brendon Small ---

I was actually thinking any one of the Original Six would be cool, plus the other Canadian teams. ---

I think you should go for the all time classic hockey sweater: the Islanders [Capt. Fishsticks](http://www.blammo.ca/jerseys/zoom.php?rec=23) jersey. ---

May I suggest the new Oilers Jersey… …or perhaps the new [Leafs jersey?](http://www.flickr.com/photos/13688419@N05/show) . ---

For Canadian teams, I like the new Vancouver sweaters. Not a favorite team of mine, but the sweaters are cool. Of the original six, Boston has the best look. ---

I vote Red Wings. Or [Windsor Spitfires.](http://www.windsorspitfires.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10005/normal_0907_snets.JPG) ---

Canadiens. One of the coolest and classic logos in sports. Plus would you rather be a Hab or a Hab-not? ---

I live in Chicago, and I’m a Rangers fan. Regardless, I have to agree with the Boston people here. The black Bruins jersey is one of the coolest uniforms ever. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-may-get-a-hockey-sweater-for-christmas-which-team-should-i-ask-for/419407.md?page=1)
