Vintage Adidas Track Jacket - Canada

The other thing I found today that had me stumped was a vintage adidas track jacket - looks like 70s or 80s - with CANADA printed on the back, and the adidas trefoils titched on the front.

I grabed it at the Buy the Pound and one of the other dealers was drooling over it - very respectfully asked to see it out of my cart - and said he wasnt sure what it was, but it might be something good.

Again, I can post pics tomorrow once daylight allows!

I havent been able to google much about it.

It seems Adidas made some stuff in Canada - and also did some jackets for the Montreal olympics in 76 - but this doesnt quite look like those.

It is most definitely 70s or 80s and not a repro, the labels are very old.

Anyone know of an adidas expert or site I can post this on to find out what it was made for? I am guessing some sort of team jacket for a pan-am game or special olymics or some sort of not-quite-olympic-level sport?

Still no luck finding out anything about this jacket or that Canada logo. Lots of googling but very little luck! I wonder if I should just put it on Feebay and let the market decide?
 
Hmmm, label looks 70s. Try looking at pics from summer Olympic games or World games starting in the 70s (they were here in Montreal in 76). Maybe you'll luck out and see pics of athletes wearing them. Worth a shot.

Good luck!
 
I am sooooooo not into sports so that doesnt help. I will have to google what sort of multi-country games there were beyond olympics.
Well, its something to do at work when I have down time!
Wait, when do I ever have down time? haha
