I remember when I was a kid and crossing that Eaton Centre tunnel to enter the bay and go through all the cool stuff I can't afford. I remember going there 5-6 times just to buy a pair of Hush Puppies.

Always I was finally there again, was told they are trying to move upscale. They picked up some high end brands like Desigual, great detailing! Other stuff was pretty much expected.

What caught my attention was the Canadian Olympic collection from HBC. From the commercials I thought the design of the shirts were kind of neat but thought that the collection wouldn't be good, you know, it is the Bay after all. Their reputation for picking up good brands aren't that good. And their reputation for design is non existent. But have to say I really like the collection, well half of it anyways. I was surprised that they did all these pieces without "Canada" or "Olympics" splattered all over it. I mean I'm sure they paid quite a penny for the rights. But they have these nice parkas with just a tiny patch on it.
As well they got these nice classic knitted sweaters as well as flannel shirts. From the look of it it doesn't have anything to do with the Olympics then you realize that these are classic Candiana designs. Kudos to them.


But of course they have to have these stupid tees with Canuk all over it. Unlike the other items I will not be linking to it because you shouldn't be buying it!!
Want more Canada stuff in time for the Olympics? Check out the Canada Basketball shirts I designed. Proceeds goes to our athletes.

It's about time that the awesome wicking fabric, otherwise known as bamboo, be brought to the world of sports. JUZD's Jing Liu with Toronto designer Terence Chung recently designed a collection of limited edition graphic tees (125 per style) for the CB (Canada Basketball) Authentic label. The series, consisting of five shirts, pays homage to the traditions and milestones of Canada Basketball, which was established in 1923.

The shirts themselves each have a distinctive look and feel with the use of several design treatments, such as flocking and plastisol. In addition to such, each shirt is given a creative name: CB Club, Game Night, The Kid, Seven, and Olympic, which features a reproduction of the maple leaf from the 1936 Berlin Olympics where Canada won a silver medal.

These shirts will be available starting from November 20 at three locations: Centre Sports at the Air Canada Centre, The Sport Gallery, and the CB website (http://shop.basketball.ca). However, to share with our readers, we will be sharing a friends and family discount, which will allow you to save 10% on your preorder.

So stay tuned!
