New York Canucks?

That's actually a picture of the Canucks road jersey during their last two years in the WHL before they entered the NHL. Those are the years they won the Lester Patrick Trophy as Champions of the WHL. To be specific that is the jersey of defenseman, Marc Reaume.

i think the picture has been photoshopped and rearranged as you said...then printed out and taken a pic of. Here's why, if it is real, why has the designer taken the time to redo the jersey with the new vintage colours but chosen to ignore the signature piece of any jersey, which is the logo. We all know that if the new jersey is to use vintage colours, the maroon in the logo will also be removed...as you can tell in this picture, the maroon is still present, and in fact the logo has not been altered at all...whoever photoshopped this pick was too lazy to put a lot of effort into photoshopping a new logo that also corresponds with the new jersey colours.

I call fake....fake, fake, fake.....someone has fooled a lot of people into thinking this godawful rendering is going to be our new logo.

The logo isn't going to be changing though, that's the thing. The leaked logo in the last thread showed the orca design as being exactly the same just with a different color scheme and that's what's on this picture. I don't know what you saw in the picture but I didn't see any "maroon" either, I just saw blue which would allow it to match the vintage color scheme.

not sure what to think of this, its from the video game nhl 08, its a video describing the create a play function in the game.

Is that only in the Xbox 360 and PS3 verison where you have the create a play function or is that in the PS2 version too?

i understand the logo concept will stay the same in terms of the orca...but the colours will not. That so-called leaked pic of Fin's Friend's still has the old Orca logo, that has blue ice and a maroon (red) trim....these colours will not accentuate a jersey that is supposedly going to be using vintage colours...so if it is the real thing, why did the designer not change the old logo with the new one? Seems like a major oversight to me...so major that i cannot believe it. you don't send your new logo to print without the redesigned logo...that would be utterly stupid.

[Jazzy B]

That should be the Orca logo!

Oh no, not this again.

Yes, our name is the "Canucks", but how do you put a "Canuck" on the jersey? I'm sure you already know, but Canuck means Canadian and it's going to be pretty difficult to get a Canadian on the jersey. Perhaps we could put a maple leaf? But oops, that's already been done. And even then there could be the argument that our name is the Canucks, not the Leafs. My point is that the word "Canuck" is not an object; therefore it's hard to put a picture of an something that would represent a Canuck. That being said, I think that the Orca does a great job representing Vancouver, the west coast, and Canada as a whole. You probably already know this, but I'll just quickly point out that it has great native artwork, vibrant colours to represent where we live, and the Orca to represent the west coast.

I would also like to add that I would much rather have the Vintage as our full-time logo and that my personal favourite is not the Orca. However, I don't think the Orca is a bad logo whatsoever. The only way that we could really put "Canucks" on the jersey would be by literally writing it out, and in my opinion the Orca certainly beats out just writing the word "Canuck".

OK I just want to make a point, you can argue all you want. The Orca is a corporate logo. Orca Bay originated from the states. Oregon or Washington. We were spoonfed that B.S. that the Orca represented Vancouver. It doesn't. We have a good logo, there's no excuse for the orca, they clearly still want to represent the corporation on our jersey. To me, it wouldn't matter how cool it was(even though it is ugly), it represents a corporation, not Vancouver, a Canuck, hockey or anything that we as Canucks stand for. I would rather see just the word Canucks on our jersey's as opposed to that corporate garbage. Although, that wouldn't be my first choice. You can think what you want to think, but the fact remains that the Orca was never meant to represent the Canucks & it doesn't matter how much drivle the ownership spoonfeeds its fans; It will NEVER represent the Canucks or its fans. If they cared they would have paid some attention to the legions of Canucks fans who pleaded to get rid of the orca. They would have noticed all of the fans who purchased the Vintage Jersey. It's all about money period. I bet they think more people will by the new jersey with the orca with colour change as opposed to the stick in rink with a minor design change, because so many people already own vintage Jerseys. It is all about MONEY.

snake1944, is that the only pic from NHL 08 with the Canucks in it you could find? A close up shot of something would be a huge help!

Only ones I could find have last years logo.

Yes, both EA's NHL 08 and 2k Sports' NHL 2k8 will have the proper 2007-2008 RBK jerseys, as well as the old 2006-2007 jerseys from last season. This has been confirmed by the lead developers of both games. EA has even stated that they already have the new jerseys for all 30 teams in the game, but they can't release screenshots of those jerseys until the team itself has already done so, for obvious reasons.

No, I don't have a link. I read it in two separate developer interviews articles a month or so ago.

[johnnycanuckrulz]

I know most Canuck fans won't like this, but I created a logo that combines the Vintage Stick in Rink and my fave, Johnny Canuck. Just thought I'd post it. This is the version that would appear on Blue Jerseys. I haven't created one that would appear on the White Jerseys. I'll work on that one.
