I didn't know spelling was that important on here. Also it was basically a play on the LOL Cats site, where they use the "rulz" type of spelling. Just wanted to be a bit different. Sorry for trying to add a bit of levity.

its ok I dont care, thats just what i think of when I see things spelt that way

I really like the orca jersey.
before, the skate jersey really resonated "canucks" but after 10 years, this logo has really grown on me
it showcases the Haida art seen all throughout the west coast. and although it doesn't look the "coolest" I think it's a good logo.

I mean, what would please you people? if the orca was biting and breaking a stick?
or if it was gnarling while chewing apart a seal?

the first one makes me think of san jose's logo
the second one is just plain mean

It would be pretty awesome if another NHL team's logo was a seal.

I have always liked the Killer Whale / Orca the best. Some points to consider about Orca's....

1. They do SCREAM west coast and British Columbia very well. It's a popular perception even here in Ontario where I live.
2. They are the LARGEST of the oceanic dolphin family.
3. Orca's are OPPORTUNISTIC and VERSATILE PREDATORS. (A large reason they are my favorite marine animal)
4. The Orca's large size and STRENGTH make them the FASTEST marine animals, often reaching speeds over 56 km/h. (Wikipedia)
5. The largest concentration of orca's in the world reside off the coast of British Columbia.
6. They are sometimes called the WOLVES of the sea because they hunt in PACKS like wolves. A TEAM concept.
7. Orca's FEAR NOTHING. They will attack adult whales, sharks and even polar bears on occasion.
8. They are UNBELIEVABLY SMART teachers and predators. See this link for more details if you like. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca

I know, I happen to like the orca logo too. I don't understand why people want it to change?

So much for looking the same during playoff time (if we make it there, of course). With another jersey in the mix, the crowds will look great in April....haha lol.

[Pacificgem]

Long live the Orca, I hope the new jersey is great. And that management didn't have a change of heart due to the resent negative comments.

Why did the previous Official jersey thread get closed?

Too much spam and off-topic discussions.

And they closed it? That could happen again. Are they gonna keep closing them and making new ones? Kinda pointless I think.

Didn't you see the previous posts. So many people asked that question. It was because of too much spamming!

No, whoever spams is going to lose their post count I think. Thats what StalthNuck said on the 1st page.

Interesting post.

Specially the part about popular perceptions regarding BC & Orcas as seen from the rest of the provinces.
