Details:
The Team Norway 2026 Men’s Sweater combines two types of wool in a thoughtful double-layer construction. The exterior is knitted from 100% Norwegian wool for natural warmth, breathability, and durability, while the interior uses 100% skin-soft merino wool for a softer feel against the body.
It has a regular fit that provides comfortable room for movement and layering, with a quarter-zip high neck for adjustable warmth and T-sleeves for a classic silhouette. The medium-weight knit and men’s S–3XL size range make it a versatile mid layer for skiing, outdoor adventures, winter travel, or simply bringing a little Norwegian team spirit into everyday life.
Design Notes:
Navy and Off White might just be the natural habitat of a Norwegian ski sweater.
This classic two-color palette gives the Team Norway 2026 design a crisp, unmistakably Nordic character while putting the historic pattern itself firmly in the spotlight. Inspired by Dale of Norway’s first official Olympic sweater from 1956, the design has been reimagined seventy years later for a new generation of Norwegian winter athletes.
There’s a satisfying balance between old and new here. Traditional patterning and Norwegian wool give the sweater its heritage character, while the quarter-zip silhouette, regular fit, and skin-soft merino interior make it comfortable for contemporary winter life.
Wear it on the mountain, at the lodge, around town, or from the sofa while cheering for Norway. No skis required for that last one.
History:
Dale of Norway’s Olympic story began at the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, with an official Norwegian team sweater designed by Bitten Eriksen. Its distinctive Cortina pattern became one of the enduring designs in Dale’s history and marked the beginning of a decades-long connection with Norwegian Olympic and World Championship athletes.
Seventy years later, the Winter Olympics return to Cortina d’Ampezzo as part of Milano Cortina 2026. Team Norway 2026 brings the story back to its starting point, revisiting the historic 1956 design for the Norwegian team competing in the very place where Dale’s Olympic sweater tradition began.
