ppl stop trashin the orca logo, its the nucks logo and is going to remain the logo...however it would b sweet if the home jersey had the stick-in-rink logo and the away had the orca or the other way around, kinda like the jerseys England Wins made but the orca instead of the johnny canuck ..that way most ppl would b happy

Many people have hated the logo from day one of its existence. I was 8 years old when it got unveiled and I've always hated it and same goes with many of the guys that I know that are in my age range. I get what Nonis and Zimmerman are saying about not changing the logo every few years but the current whale logo that we have is butt ugly.

I'd rather see them keep the whale but dump the way it's currently formed with it jumping out of the water. Maybe something like the San Jose Sharks logo where the whale would be holding a stick or something of that magnitude.

yes and no, its be such a hit because of its limited use, but the love for it is there now, and people want it, so why hasn't the ownership respected what we want? And changing the Orca to vintage colours is not throwing us a bone, its just a slap in the face

Exactly. There seems to be a mindset here that it will satisfy both sides. They don't have to change the logo and they get to keep the very popular Vintage colour scheme. But merging the two together is such a bad idea. It doesn't give the best of both worlds, it just makes both look terrible. Just stick to one or the other, not both.

fire evaporates water. . .ya lame

the "C" isn't that creative, i just think the contrast between the red and the black is very very sharpe, if I didn't hate calgary as much as I do, i'd get one of their jerseys.

The contrast between the red and black looks really good, but I still can't say I like the jersey or I'd have to kill myself.

Yeah, but we can't exactly put a "Canuck" on the sweater either

The vintage logo is nice to see one those special 'vinatge' nights, all teh time would take away from it's awseomness..

No, there would just be more awesomeness to admire.

One thing about the Stick in Rink logo that has always puzzled me is that everyone says that the stick forms the "middle" of a stylized "C" (Which would be the blue part in the below pic), but to me, the outer Green "rim" forms more of a Rectangular "C" than the "C" formed by the "blue part". To me it's a lot easier to see the Green "C".

Actually it's a smiling ice cube...

I mean generate all this hype, create some buzz, get people to buy stuff now out of fear of a change to something they don't want?

Go with me here people. This is the idea of a possible logo that I am pondering in my head.

How about a cartoon like picture of an Orca whale doing a trick (like the one below) with one of its flippers holding on to a stick and a puck up in the air in a 3D type mode?



It's just a little idea. Too bad I don't have photoshop because this would look awesome. I guarantee it.

for sure, plus the vintage logo just has an air of class to it, much like the maple leaf, the C and the B, the vintage logo was right in the 70's and it should be right for the 2000's, i mean if you look in the stands and see how many more vintage jerseys there are, it boggles one's mind when we found out that the vintage jersey wasn't becoming the new one, i mean we wore it so much last season wtf?

Yeah, I agree. We did wear the vintage jerseys a LOT last season + playoffs. If you watch any of the playoff vids, you'll see like 75% of the fans wearing the vintage jerseys. I hope the Canucks management realize this.

Now, we don't want that do we?
I could NEVER admit to liking the Lames jersey. *shudders*

the only problem with that pic is the orca will definately not be those colors...

I really hope so. I mean, why not right? Right now everyone seems to think it's going to be the Orca with the Vintage colour scheme, and the more they lead us that way the bigger the surprise will be if it's not. They've got every reason to go with the Vintage full-time. And although I like the Orca, people have complained about it since it was made our logo, so why keep it? It's stupid to keep a logo that isn't enjoyed by a lot of the fans just for the sake of not changing the logo often.

Just trying to stay optimistic as I really, really hate the Orca with Vintage colours.
