I agree that it is a great look.  I’m all for continuity from one sport to the next when it comes to national teams.

the reasons you mention above definitely play a part (vision, lighter, comfort? maybe) but it’s also probably just tradition as well.  Old habits die hard?

Would have been nice to see the new gear… oh well!

Too bad the Easton glove line isn’t ready yet.  Could have been a great time to showcase upcoming gear…

Is it a Canadian thing that has been passed along? I don’t really see any advantage to it, is it a comfort thing?
