national team Logos and Brands

National teams competing in international tournaments are listed in the “National Team” section. The Brazilian national soccer team, with its five World Cup stars; New Zealand’s All Blacks rugby team, with its silver fern; the US basketball Dream Team; and the Canadian national hockey team, with its maple leaf, carry the visual identity of their nations into the sporting arena. The emblems of national teams are based on state heraldry, flag elements, and symbols that mobilize fans from Rio to Tokyo. The brands in this section represent the highest form of sporting patriotism, where the federation’s logo on the jersey signifies the player’s right to represent their country.
