all jokes aside is that the actual front page????????????

[blue.dragon258]

Hope it is.

Finally, a media outlet that is willing to call out Zimmerman for his horrible creativity.

I kinda like them, they look better than I thought they would, and they look better than many of the other teams new unis. And I like them better than the ones used from 1997 until now, those were too dark and too boring. Although my favorite overall is the one used prior to 1997, I liked those colors. But overall, not bad and the design is simple and classic.

Overall, I like the new jerseys, but I'm a bit disappointed. They could have been so much better.

The "VANCOUVER" text looks way too busy, especially with the captain's "C" and alternates "A"s

The whale logo doesn't seem to be coloured right either, looks like a logo that would work on a blue/silver jersey..not a blue/green.

The whale logo needs a green outline, and the workmark needs to go.

Here's what I'd like to have seen

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. I agree with everything except for being "a bit dissappointed". I'm pissed off. How can they not see that there's way too much going on in that jersey they created?

They could've atleast put the outline green. I agree, the orca doesn't match with the rest of the jersey plus the wordmark should be on the green line down at the bottom of the jersey.

[canucklehead13]

I love the blue jersey...The orca on that one is beautiful.

The whites are nice...the shoulder patches match better. But I don't like the colouring of the orca on that one.

I personally love the font used on the numbering. It is absolutely awesome. Modern, readable, yet still classy.

I hate the complainers.

I think everyone was in shock, and the cheers they did get were for the players, not the jerseys

[FlyingV]

It sucks, plain and simple. Why the hell did they ruin it further by putting "Vancouver" across the front?

In an attempt to cut down on the upcoming surge of threads relating to the highly anticipated release of the new Canucks jerseys, I will be attempting to keep all speculation, rumours, suggestions, and questions relating to the new jerseys within this thread.

What we know so far: (I will update the list as more becomes known)

• The jersey's will be unveiled at 12:30pm on August 29th
  
  
• TEAM 1040 reports that the jerseys are expected to be "vintage colours"
  
• The Canucks spent over $1,000,000 on the design
  
  
• The jersey may or may not incorporate a new logo
  
• Canucks executives have said that the Orca logo will remain
  
• The new jerseys will have a tighter fit than previous versions

Logo Leak?


Alleged Leak:
Taking a closer look at the Orca logo on the alleged leaked version reveals some interesting changes that make it more believable.

I have created a HIGH RESOLUTION VERSION (UPDATED) of the leaked logo. As well as the leaked word mark "CANUCKS".
I've also edited the image of the jersey so it looks complete, and added the new standard NHL neckline.




LEAKED JERSEY CELLPHONE PICTURES (Unconfirmed)



Archive of Rumours: (I will update the list as speculation continues)

• The jerseys will be blue/green/white vintage colours
  
• The jerseys will drop the burgundy/red colour and remain Blue, White, and Silver
  
• The orca logo will be slightly modified
  
• The orca logo will be re-coloured to fit the new colour scheme [Alleged leaked logo]
  
• The jerseys will have an entirely new logo
  
• The vintage "stick in rink" logo will be used
  
• The "Johnny Canuck" logo will be used
  
• The jerseys will say "CANUCKS" across the chest
  
• The jerseys will say "VANCOUVER" across the chest
  
• The jerseys will no longer have horizontal stripes, and instead will have vertical lines

Concept Art: (I will add more as they are made)

• Recoloured Orca Logo - NaslundRocks
  
• Vintage Coloured Orca Logo / On Jersey - Evil_Ishmael
  
• Blue/White Orca on Vintage jersey / on blue jersey - DaveyG
  
• White Vintage with Orca and "VANCOUVER" text / with blue trim / Away - Pfizer
  
• New Jersey Template - nucks_bourdon
  
• Orca logo on Allstar Jersey - nucks_bourdon
  
• Johnny Canuck Vintage Concept / 3 versions - John Slabyk
  
• New Skate Logo Vintage Concept / 3 Versions - John Slabyk
  
• Vintage Colours, Orca Logo, "CANUCKS" text -Andorynn

Future threads made about the jerseys BEFORE their release will be either deleted, locked, or merged into this thread depending on their substance.

If only all of those leaks were actually true... although you were correct on most of it.

I agree, especially with Naslunds jersey... the "C" looks dumb with the word VANCOUVER just inches below it. It doens't take $1 Million, or however much it cost, to figure this out...

I like the new blue jersey.

well said!

[Catch 22]

I slept on it.

It is not the worst jersey we have had (86). But I still cant get into it. I love the t-shirts with the same front (logo and VANCOUVER) but the jersey is too busy and looks like a tourist jersey you find in gastown. (hmmm olympic coincidense) With all the hype, it is a Cut and paste dissapointment.

I still think I will wait for a 3rd jersey.

[Two Tense]

In my regards I appreciate the fact that we have decided to keep with tradition...

back to having the ugliest jerseys in the league.

[qKazoo]

whats with the shoulder patch?..

Those are pretty good. I wonder if one of you with photoshop skills could try a version where the lettering is kept but the logo is smaller.

[Roberto-frickin-Luongo]

This jersey is just so UGLY. I can't stand it. I went to the jersey unveiling at gm place thinking i might pick one up. But what i came to see was a devastatingly ugly jersey that i wouldnt touch with a 10 foot pole. I don't know how anyone can like the new jersey its hideous. It's so ugly that its being voted as the most ugly jersey in the nhl on just about every official forum in the nhl. Thats rite. It is THAT UGLY.
