CBC

Here's another CBC classic you can wear... The Official Hockey Night in Canada Sweater! The Hockey Night in Canada logo was used when the show first aired on CBC television back in 1952.  This was the big moment for hockey broadcasting going from radio to television. 

Be a part of commemorating this moment in history by owing your own hand-knit and Canadian made, Hockey Night in Canada Sweater!  

A history to remember - 1952: Hockey Night in Canada is born.  Only weeks after television broadcasting began in Canada, Hockey Night in Canada hit the air for the first time with a game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins at Maple Leaf Gardens. Airing once a week, the show was hosted by Foster Hewitt and began with the signature opening “Hello Canada and hockey fans in the United States.” During his career, Mr. Hewitt coined phrases such as “He shoots, he scores.” In 1958, his son Bill took over hosting responsibilities. Both have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

  How To Measure 

  Take an outerwear jacket that fits you well and lay it flat on a table as it is done here. Find a tape measure and note the following measurements:

  A (BODY LENGTH) - measure from highest point of shoulder (hps) to bottom hem
  B (CHEST) - go two inches below armpit and then measure across
  C (SLEEVE LENGTH) - measure from centre back collar to sleeve cuff edge
  
  Please Note:
  * Because each sweater is knit by hand, finished measurements may vary slightly.
  * The measurements we list are actual sweater measurements and NOT body measurements.
  * If you're still unsure of your size, email us or phone us, 1.604.207.9392, and we'll be more than happy to assist you. Usually height and weight will help us determine a size.

We designed this sweater, featuring the iconic CBC logo and zig-zags representing analog radio waves, for our brother-in-law who lives in England. We knew he grew up watching and listening to CBC programming, and we wanted to give him a special connection to home. He loved the sweater and was happy for the nostalgic gesture.

Though we blogged about the sweater, trademark restrictions prevented us from offering it for sale. That is, until CBC Radio 3's Grant Lawrence somehow noticed the sweater. He went nuts about it and provided us with great exposure on air. This one time gift to an ex-pat has finally been licensed as the official CBC sweater.

The female model is 5' 9", 125lbs and wearing a medium size. For a snugger fit, a small size is suggested.

This is another version of the CBC Heritage sweater using contrasting colours for a bolder look.

The story behind the CBC Heritage sweater, featuring the iconic CBC logo and zig-zags representing analog radio waves, was designed for our brother-in-law who lives in England. We knew he grew up watching and listening to CBC programming, and we wanted to give him a special connection to home. He loved the sweater and was happy for the nostalgic gesture.

The male model is 5' 9", 165lbs and wearing a x-large size. A large would have also fit nicely on this model.
