Iceland's uniforms


So just watched D2 again, and I noticed that on the front of the Iceland's uniforms it's written "Island", does anyone know if this was a mistake or not?😃

It's the Icelandic pronunciation for Iceland. When the team wins their first game against Team USA, you can hear them yell "ISLAND!" as they break the huddle.

"Ísland" is how Iceland is spelt in the Icelandic language. Similar to how Italy is spelt "Italia" in the Italian language, or Denmark is spelt "Danmark" in Danish.
