Details:
The 1994 sweater is an update to one of Dale's most popular sweaters ever, the official Olympic sweater from the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. While the shape has been updated from the original loose fit, to a more modern regular fit, the pattern remains more or less unchanged: consisting of symbols and figures from Norse mythology.
Design Notes:
Originally created for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, this sweater carries deep symbolic meaning woven into every detail. Norse mythology comes to life through figures like Freya, Odin riding Sleipnir, and the ravens Hugin and Munin—alongside Yggdrasil, the world tree that binds all realms. Combined with undyed wool, the design feels raw, authentic, and timeless—like a piece of Nordic history pulled into the present.
The 1994 sweater’s symbols and figures from Norse mythology are:
~ Frøya, the goddess of love and fertility, with the ability to foresee the future.
~ Odin, the most powerful and wisest of the gods. He is riding Sleipner, the fastest horse in the world.
~ Two ravens, Hugin and Munin, symbolizing thought and recollection, one pointing forward, the other backwards.
~ Yggdrasil, the evergreen world tree, keeping the whole world up, with branches reaching to the sky & roots stretching into the underworld.
