man that shirt on the website looks exactly like the jersey put some arced Canucks letters with the vintage stick on the shoulders and youve got the jersey i believe is going to be shown..... you cant see the sleeves or the bottom so im not sure about stripes cant wait till wednesday!!

[i love semin]

The green on the jersey might be minimal, but it will be there.

• Rbk Draft Hat had green stitching
  
• New Era hat had tons of green
  
• "New" vintage logo seen on the hat and Fin graphic had green
  
• The jersey in the Fin's Friends graphic had green

So you are absolutely certain that there will be a vertical stripe on the side of the jersey/

[Catch 22]

So if those are the new jerseys, why is there lettering on the front? We know who we are. People who came to watch the game know who we are. It is a bit too cluttered. The colours are west coast, the arm lines are west coast native, the whale is there. The letters seems to be overstating the fact.

[alexmuc]

I think those concept (or r they the real deal now?) uni's look great. Once we get a set colour which will be OUR colour, we will finally know wht to wear to the games. Imagine everyone wearing blue kinda like how calgary does the sea of red. Those jerseys look great, and i could see them wearing them for a long long time. How long would u think these jerseys last knowing the canucks over the years?

I've been over on the island the last few days and was talking to a guy in a store and he told me he was getting a shipment of t shirts in today. He also said they where going back to the stink and rink. I don't think he really new what the f*** was going on, because he said I'd have to wait till Sept 14th when the jerseys actually come out.

no i'm not.........

here's what he said to me
-two toned logo (pretty much confirmed with hat and tshirt)
-vintage colouring (specifically said it will have green)
-"The've done away with the horizontal stripes on the BOTTOM of the jersey"
-Wordmark arced over the orca logo

I then showed him a picture of the mock up that i have on my phone and he said "ya, that's pretty much them"
and bet his reputation on it...

I heard some interesting info tonight from the guy who told about seeing Willie Mitchell in the new away jersey. I have known this guy for years and used to work with him, he now works in GM Place as the head on maintenance so he has some good connections being in the building every day.

Anyways what he's said is what most of us have come to realize that the Fin's Friend pic from a while ago is a very close resemblance to what he saw.

What he told me tonight is very interesting though. He was saying that the Canucks had a few variation of new and old logos to choose from when coming up with the new jerseys. Zimmerman, coming from Nike, is very big on study groups (as they are at Nike) and incorporating public opinion into big decisions.

They held several study groups throughout North America showing each different versions of Canucks logos, old and new as well as other widely recognized sports teams logos, like the Yankees, Red Wings, Packers...etc.
These groups were then asked what logos they remembered the easiest.
Of all the Canucks logos the Orca "C" was chosen as the most recognizable and most liked by the groups.

This is why they chose this logo to update and use as the main logo on the new jerseys.

Now before you guys jump down my throat about if there were study groups someone would have leaked the info just think, these were blind studies and the end results are not known to these people. They are also not all hockey fans but these groups consisted of a random sampling of the North American public. They are debriefed but not told specific details.
Lets face it Canucks fans will buy the jersey anyways so they find out what will sell best outside of the die-hard fans - which is in fact the majority of the population!

So when you guys see the final product just know that these designs and logos were chosen not by the Canucks brass but the average public.

This also explains where that million dollars went. The marketing agencies who do this research for the Canucks are not cheap, if you want it done properly!!

Again this is second hand info but to me it's very reliable and explains quite a bit IMO.

Also if any of you participated in a sports logo recognition study you may have inadvertently decided what logo the Canucks are keeping!
Something to chew on.

So is the jersey that Aaron Miller is wearing here just a practice jersey?
