Ritchie is behind Mo.

That's Cooke behind Ohlund. I do believe that that is Smolinski behind Morrison, so those are old photos.

So would it be funny if the new uniforms turned out to be exactly the same. All we really know is that with the RBK style that we have new uniforms and that the orca will still remain.

I think it would be a laugh after all this wait they looked just the same.

Dude, that's Bryan Smolinski. The pictures are from last season. There's no ice at GM Place yet, they're practicing at 8 Rinks which has no seating.

Actually, they play on the Blue A rink, which has the entire catwalk above the ice on one side people can stand, and there are some benches up there.

POST MORE PICTURES OF THE PAST PRACTICE JERSEYS!!

THAT'LL SOLVE EVERYTHING!

The jerseys have grown on me a little bit, but I'm still not a huge fan of the Buffaslug itself

The buffaslug is cutie and you know it.

I am to the point where I hope this happens. Maybe they put a couple of stripes on it and leave it at that.

You should post that on the Buffalo message board.

I guess I'm the only one who likes the Buffaslug.

Despite me not liking the logo, I'm probably going to get a Buffaslug jersey with Thomas Vanek's name and number on it, since he's one of my favorite players. I'm one of the few who are only "meh" about the Sabres vintage.

[LickTheEnvelope]

Glad they brought the colors back... I don't mind the logo, but the old circle with actual "Sabres" was better.

If you look at the "action" list, you'll notice that the last time this logo was updated was 2004. So this is not new.

How come the ice chards are darker, shouldn't they be white ?

[xtr3m]

That's Bryan Smolinski and Matt Cooke. Did you watch any Canucks games last season at all?

I think that's just to show a distinction between the ice and the outline. If the ice chards were white, outlined in black, you wouldn't be able to see the outline. With this logo I think they can put whatever colours they want in whatever part of the logo they want.
Could I have explained that in a longer version, if I explained it at all? LOL

I was refering to the other logo, the black and white one on page 87

That other logo is my sig. I'm too useless on the computer to make it any smaller...sorry!

Doesn't that make you think that all this talk from Nonis and Zimmerman about "patent and copyright issues causing over $1m in redesign" was a bunch of smoke being blown up our backsides?

I find the whole secrecy and circus surrounding the new jerseys really perplexing. It seems to me like they're trying to create some kind of launch "buzz" around the jerseys. And they don't have to.

With the market in Vancouver so voracious for anything to do with the Canucks, the team would not have to do ANYTHING to promote this team. They don't have to promote tickets or games or pay-per-view, because the fans are so dialed-in and hockey-mad.

They could have released the jerseys in July with ZERO launch and still would have sold out every jersey west of the Rockies.

So - my suspicion is that they tried to redesign the jerseys and something got f**ked up - very, very badly. And all this nonsense from Nonis and Zimmerman and others is just to cover up a huge set of mistakes.

I'll vote that the original re-design was the version on the Fin's Friends thing, but when they saw them they were horrified and are scrambling to fix it. Originally they were going to be released on 8/1 but they were so messed up they had to push it back. Now RBK is scrambling to make something reasonable.

[vannuxforlife]

^ thats an interesting theory...

a long as the final product looks good (ie better than fin's friends) i'll be happy.

lol, the jerseys have been done for a long time. They've already had a photoshoot with them and I'm sure merchandise is in production. The Canucks never really planned to release on Aug. 1, it was just some vague date people kept on pushing, without any proof. Nothing has been delayed, it just takes time to rebrand your hockey club.
