The Fin's Friends jersey is the new away jersey.

The home jersey will be similar but use the logo with the white ice.
This one:

The hat logo is the logo on the home jersey.

I have a very trustworthy and close friend that works in GM Place on the maintence crew and he saw Willie Mitchell wearing one of the jerseys. Don't worry I gave him supreme sh!t for not taking a pic with his cellphone or something.

There was no green on any of the main logos, but there is green on the jersey, so any "leaked" pics with green on the logo are bullsh!t. Stick and rink was on one shoulder he couldn't see the other shoulder the direction Willie was walking.

So those of you who don't like those jersey, c'est la vie!

They'll change again in 8 years or so.

The evidence is beginning to support this I think. Hat, Fin's Friend, HFboard's Ziggy Stardust. I think it's a shame because the green outline I think makes the perfect marriage of Orca and Vintage. It is weird having green on the jersey but not on the logo. I also don't see how a white "Vancouver" word mark on a blue jersey will look good.

I think I'm gonna be disappointed??? I'm a fan of the Orca/C jersey. but not the one Fin is wearing!!!

If the speculation comes to be truth...I only really have one question.

Who the hell honestly pays a million dollars for that redesign? It's like taking the logo- heading into Microsoft Paint...and use the paint bucket, dropping in colors until you come up with a new color scheme.

A lot more goes into the cost than just the actual design of the jersey/logo/colors.

Honestly, I wouldn't normally believe some guy on a message board with no proof, but you could very well be right. There's a guy on the HFboards (Ziggy Stardust) who has been claiming the exact same thing since before the Fin graphic was even "leaked," and the hat just sort of furthers the theory. I think I'll just expect the Fin's Friends jersey, so that if it turns out to be something different, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

If you guys believe that will be the logo think again.. i found this video on Youtube with Linden scoring the tying goal in Game 7 of the Dallas series... Pay close attention to the fan's shirt at 1:22. The shirt has the exact same logo..

Isn't this so called "new" logo nearly identical to the "Believe in Blue" logo?

There is a new orca logo.

Why would it cost them a million dollars to change the colors of the current logo.

[m2kmike]

Wow, it seems that everyone has "friends" that seem to know what this logo/sweater is gonna look like. If all these "friends" are trustworthy, how many logos/sweaters are the canucks gonna use next year?

a lot of people are gonna be disappointed on Aug 29 because their "friend" made them look like an idiot on CDC

Every leak so far points to a colour change on the current orca logo. I have not heard or seen a "new" orca logo. Maybe your "friend" could spill some details.

Because not only did they come up with a new design, but every single piece of marketing material the team uses needs to be changed from banners and ads to season ticket packages and letterhead. Likely all evidence of the old logo inside and out at GM Place needs to disappear and be replaced with the new one.

It might be a fairly minor tweak to the logo, but changing every single object with the current logo on it is a big chore, and thereby... a big cost.

Not to mention copywrite costs for the new style logo and the new jerseys. thats alot of money!

Works for me...

I don't get why some of you are jumping on this guy...is it not conceivable to you all that someone out there has a friend that works at GM Place in some capacity and has seen the new look, or part of it?

My bet is if he had said that his friend claimed the new jersey was a RBK version of the vintage with the stick-in-a box as the primary logo, you'd be jumping for joy instead of shatting on this guy.

I cant wait any longer! my s*** is turning colours!! AUGUST 29TH!

No it's not. Because the "Believe in Blue" logo uses an additional white line that the leak doesn't have. The new logo removed that line and added more color to the orca.

Thanks man but I really don't see everyone as jumping all over me. To me it's the disappointment coming to fuition because they are now realizing that the Orca is staying.

I'm telling everyone what I have heard which really seems to match up with released details by Nonis and Zimmerman.

I don't think anyone has ever said that we are getting a new main logo, I believe that someone said there will be a new logo somewhere on the jersey possibly the shouder - everyone assumed that the whale was gone but that won't be the case.

If rumours are true that a version of Johnny Canuck will be featured on the new jerseys that easily explains the $1 million price tag simply for the rights to this logo. Trademarking can be an expensive business people, how do you think some graphic artists make money?

Anyways take what I'm telling you for what it is - second hand information. If you want to hold on to hope that I'm lying go ahead.
I really have no concern as to what people at CDC think of me - none of you even know me. I'm just trying to add to the information already posted, I'm not looking for fake cyber friends!
