ya ive heard that too so it might be right

First off, my apologies if this information is already out there somewhere in this thread.

I was in Authentix yesterday and the salesperson said the stores would have the new duds on Sept. 14th. Made it sound like it would be the 'sales' launch of the jersey. Now, as for the official ceremony/launch/introduction, I imagine some time shortly before that date. He mentioned that the jersey launch would be in collaboration with training camp. With training camp being in Victoria this year, the question is will they conduct a ceremony before they head off on the 12th of September or wait until they return to the Mainland? My guess is they do it before they take off so they wear all the practice jerseys in camp. Then again, there is info out there about an Aug. 29 unveiling.

Take it for what it's worth.

Decent deals in the store right now by the way. Clearing things out.

Gee I'm glad you didn't ATTACK me. That being said, it's easy to pick apart and find fault with almost EVERYTHING.

As far as the Heritage is concerned, I was talking about the CANUCKS heritage/history going back to their Pacific Coast and Western Hockey League days when Johnny Canuck was their logo or affiliated with the Vancouver Canucks. Just like the fabled "C" and "H" is a part of the Montreal Canadiens, The Maple Leaf is part of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Indian Head part of the Chicago Blackhawks HISTORY. So what is so wrong with having something that goes back to the Vancouver Canucks EARLY days/years in Pro Hockey?

My reference to race was in regards to the Haida artwork Orca, which people claim as representing B.C. All I was saying is that HARD WORKING "lunch bucket" type workers, such as LUMBERJACKS, represent ALL races of British Columbians/Vancouverites, which would be what the "Johnny Canuck" logo would represent!

I don't understand why so many people are against that logo. It's actually of a person (whatever his "job description" is) on ice skates holding a hockey stick, and it's called, "Johnny CANUCK". It's the logo the Canucks should have used when they first entered the NHL, and if they would have, it may have still been used to this day, much like a lot of the other ones, such as Boston's, Montreal's, Toronto's, Chicago's, Detroit's, Pittsburgh's, Philadelphia's, etc.

As far as the potential success the Canucks would have if they used the Johnny Canuck logo goes, no one can say how successful they would or would not be, but they damn well sure haven't been successful with any of the OTHER logos they've used, and I don't count LOSING in two Stanley Cup finals a SUCCESS!! If the Canucks greatest claim to fame in 37+ years is LOSING in GAME 7 of the Stanley Cup finals, that is not something to be that PROUD of!

Maybe one reason why the Orca is rather popular with some Canuck fans is because it IS the Team's logo, and they feel that they have to love EVERY single thing about the team, just because it is part of the Canucks. If when they changed the logo to the Orca, they would have selected a friggin' garbage can, then the same people would probably say, "OH MY GOD, it's THE BEST LOGO IN HOCKEY" just because it's the VANCOUVER CANUCKS' "LOGO".

Like I said before, the "Stick up the Rink", "Flying V", "Downhill Skate", and "Orca" logos have had their day, and chance, why not give "Johnny Canuck" his chance? Maybe it'll FINALLY change the team's luck. It couldn't do any worse!!

A logo won't change our luck, sorry. Don't you think we'd change it every year if it did? And the Hadia people were the first people in B.C, why shouldn't we honour that and have Haidia artwork as our logo? And "lunchbucket" workers don't represent all races, some people have easy jobs, some have hard ones, some are lazy and don't have jobs, some live off their parents.

There is really no point in arguing the Orca vs. JC because they are on the same level, they're both missing a part (imo)

The orca represents the place, B.C, vancouver, but not the name 'Canucks'

The JC represents the name 'canucks' perfectly, but as much as you can find excuses, a lumberjack doesn't represent Vancouver, or B.C. quite...

So basically, what we argue is that, one of us rather have a logo represting the place, the other representing the name.

You know any Loggers in BC? I know 1000's of them myself. Also who cares what the US thinks they already have all us Canadians in igloos and saying aboot.

Truth of the matter is it could be any of a number of icons that represents the Province, The City, The Game etc etc.

Personally I liked the idea of them switching the name to BC Canucks because I feel they are more then just Vancouvers team.

One could argue the Orca has nothing to do with hockey or the Canucks as well. I have said it before that I feel the C is over used already and only really belongs to the Habs.

So end result you go with something creative that people and fans adapt too or something to do with Hockey or the Province or The City. Most important too the fans and the team is something that looks good and sells. After all it's a bussiness.

The shouldn't change the name to 'BC canucks', they play in Vancouver, and they've been known as the 'vancouver Canucks' for so long, 'BC Canucks' doesn't have that ring to it....It's fine for all parts of the lower mainland to cheer for them, we're all basically known as 'Vancouver' anyway...

that's right. We play in vancouver, we are vancouver, and we are the canucks. Canucks=vancouver.

lol.......here we go again, hopefully they spontaneously release the jerseys before then just to end the pain and frustration that is sure to come in the next couple weeks........it would also save hours of my life that will be spent posting in this topic

[Chow-Time!]

i remember this one episode of sportsnet in the 05-06 season, where at the end of it, Don taylor started recapping the canucks score, then right before the end, he started saying"oh and for canucks fans everywhere, i am hearing there is a new canucks logo coming soon, i heard that this new orca will be wearing pants! good night everyone" weird eh?

my friends dad works with dave nonis's brother, don nonis at canada place, don said that the orca is just going to get recoloured, frankly i cant trust my friend that much because hes always stoned or drunk

anyways that was my two cents

Just jerseys? Would you like us to bring back the Halloween V jerseys?

WARNING-HIDE THE CHILDREN!



Those things are disgusting and the jersey is a big part of a team's identity. What are the Ducks and Sabres known for? Great teams with a crappy jerseys. They better pull this off, especially considering that they paid a million bucks on this and they've made us wait forever to see them.

I would have them wear those jerseys if it meant being known in the same category as the Ducks, what with the Cup and all.

We'll we know that they're not bringing back those jerseys.

All I was trying to say was that maybe people should try to be respectful, rather than having the canucks organazation be pissed off at their materialistic fans! lol.

It's safe to say that regardless of what they release, alot of people are going to be at least temporarily pissed off.

you're right.. no matter what they do, a group of people will be mad.
the key is to piss the least amount of people off.

[FinFan]

There isn't any green on the logo, that cell-phone pic is FAKE. The new jerseys are exactly the same as that "Fin's Friends" cartoon. The dark blue jersey has the blue/white orca, the white jersey has the light blue/blue orca.
