The yellow jersey is a classic design for Sweden, featuring the "Tre Kronor" logo. This emblem with three blue crowns represents Sweden's hockey team and monarchy. The sleeves have blue stripes, adding a nice contrast.
A patch on the chest read "Nations Face-Off 2025," marking the tournament. Nylander’s number, 88, was displayed on the sleeves in blue, matching the rest of the jersey.
The gear includes blue pants and socks with yellow accents to match the jersey. Nylander also wore a black Bauer helmet to complete the look.
This version of the Swedish jersey combines tradition with a modern design. The detailed crowns give it a fresh and regal look.
