oh noes... leaked canucks merchandise. it's going to be pink

Alrighty then.....

If that hat is real, and it looks real, then that's the logo, and colors. RBK isn't going to use off colors for that style of hat. If that style was used for the NHL, and NFL draft, then it is considered an official hat meaning they will only use official team colors.

Incidentally, I added August 29 to the sidebar countdown for the Vancouver Canucks big unveiling event. This comes not from the team directly but rather someone apparently working for a graphics firm hired by the team. Said someone emailed me directly and told me I should post the date. That being said, take it for what its worth. I can't verify that claim any more than you but there it is.

For months people have been endlessly speculating about the new logo, and now with the hat, we've finally gotten a peak at it. Yet for some reason, none of you seem to even care.

no one knows what to believe anymore. Could the Canucks really be that careless to let a store sell the hat weeks before the unveiling? I highly doubt it.

If that's fake, it would have to be one of the best photoshop jobs I've ever seen.

Plus, it didn't have to come from a store. It could have come from anywhere inside the Canucks organization, or Rbk.

Seeing how the merchandise won't even be available until mid September how do you explain the fact that that pic was taken in a retail store? As has already been pointed out, two tone logos have been available for a few years. Just as the Nucks website has had two tone logos scattered around it for years.

I'll take every "leak" for what it is: potential BS. Untill the Nucks actually launch the real deal, that's my stance.

It's not photoshopped, its just a hat. Who says that its our colours? Its obviously in a retail store, you can see other hats on the shelf! And guess what, hats don't ship to stores with security tags already on them, its up to each store to decide if they need a security device.

[baileybob19]

looks like a pink canucks logo to me. who cares. the oilers have had stupid pink oiler logos for at least a year now. its just a stupid photoshop picture of a stupid pink logo. STUPID!! wait till the 29th and then the speculation can stop and the bitching by all the people who dont like whatever they do can start.

STUPID FAKE PINK LOGO HAT

thats what that guys post should say.

[baileybob19]

also let me just say that i'm looking forward to the day that I log on to this website and all of the colours and logos are changed. that would be sweet. not because I dont like these ones, but because I will finally be able to see the new scheme.

[steph6]

I was walking to work and this guy has a shirt with a huge canucks logo on it and it was blue and white.. I think it was from molson or some kinda beer company

ooops my bad,

i am just to lazy to read big paragraphs....but he said someone e-mailed him that date, so their could be a chance that date could be the right one....

[RDCurran]

Ok are people on here idiots ? probably! Those pink shirts and hats are REAL but they aren't our color scheme they brought out those way back, look through an athentix catalogue there are so many differnt colors and styles of hats and the orca that you can get, so doesn't mean they are the new colors of the team.

[The Toilet_49]

just about to post that hat, looks pretty legit to me. and theres another one in the rack in the background if you look closely. soo happy this is what it'll be

That's an official RBK DRAFT HAT. They don't come in multiple colours with different styled logos. There's one template, and every team follows that template using their OFFICIAL colours with their OFFICIAL logo. This has been stated many times in this thread, but people still assume that it's just another hat.

I could be photoshopped (if so, it would have to be one of the best jobs I've ever seen), but it's certainly not just a random hat.

You sir, are the idiot. Read what I said above, please.

(And the pink jersey thing was a joke).

I saw the exact same hat in the regular orca colors at sportschek today....even if that picture hasn't been altered it means nothing in regards to our new jerseys....

Posting this again since the other thread is now locked:

lol, so many dumb people don't realize that's the 2007 Draft Hat. Every NHL team uses a generic template for all the hats given to prospects when they walk up on stage and simply has their own colors and official logo added to them. Because draft hats need to be in official team colors this leads me to believe that this is a legitimate leak. Despite the presence of many various styles of hats with the Canucks logo on them, the fact that this uses the exact same template as the draft hats but is using an altered color scheme is a huge indicator to me.

And just for the people arguing "why would the Canucks be stupid enough to send a store their new logo on a hat if the jersey isn't out yet..." maybe that's because it's not the Canucks' decision. It's RBK's. RBK would no doubt be printing new Canuck merchandise in anticipation of the jersey launch which now appears to be coming very soon. You can't just roll out brand new stock overnight. Manufacturers are probably among the first "outside" people to get a look at the new logo/color scheme, not the general public. Various manufacturer's have probably been printing up new t-shirts, hats, pennants, stickers etc. for weeks now and are just waiting for the green light to release it all once the jersey is unveiled. Once that happens, nobody is going to want "old" merchandise and since it would take time to create an inventory that can be immediately rolled out for the masses the logo and colors have probably been seen by quite a few people already. It was probably RBK's intention to have these hats remain in the backs of the various stock rooms at these stores until the unveiling happened and this store simply broke protocol and released them prematurely.

The hat in the leak isn't the official draft hat. They used the "current" orca colors for the draft hat. However RBK is also using those hats for general official team hats, thus the new colors.

Just to clarify... I was commenting on the leak. Sorry.
