Looks like the jerseys were sponsored by Petro Canada

I think this might be the first hockey jersey I've ever seen, or any jersey for that matter, where the sleeves don't match.

Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Yeah, they don't do much for me but then again, I don't give a you know what for the most part. Just another jersey that will come and go. The world keeps turning, the pucks keep dropping and all is well in hockeyville tonight.
Tell me how long must a fan be strong? Ans. Always.

Before they moved to become the new Winnipeg Jets, the Atlanta Thrashers had a third uniform in which the word ATLANTA only appeared on the left sleeve while only the right sleeve contained the player's number and alternate logo.

祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

There always seems to be some tendency to connect a national team's uniform to the national flag of the country, i.e. match the same colours, designs, etc.

The Canadian flag is vertically symmetrical, so it does look somewhat awkward over the fact that the sleeves are not symmetrical.

The Czech Republic National flag is neither vertically nor horizontally symmetrical and it looks like the country decided to display their flag vertically in their national uniform so in their case, it's more understandable that their sleeves are not symmetrical either.

Hadn't seen the Atlanta one before but given the fate of that team I'm probably not alone LOL.
