question about Russian Team jackets

[BravesSkateFan]

Can anyone tell me the significance of the 'vine' design on the Russian Team jackets?

I was wondering the exact same thing! It's always on their team uniforms every single year and every Olympics.

Joe

that's assuming he doesn't already HAVE one...

This design is a reminiscent of the Russian folk painting

Thanks for the links. But, I haven't begun my Russian language class. Currently, German, French and Romany, Hungarian and Italian I read. Russian is no where close.

Care to translate something for us?

Sorry, I thought the pictures were enough to get the idea where these jackets’ designs have come from.
Here; there are some links in English
