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!

Stupid Bettman.

Do you think the games will have the proper jerseys?

P.S. nazzy_fan did you get my PM...Im checking cause my computer has been all weird and i want to make sure its working.

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.

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.

Logo is pretty nice, but try to center Johnny Canuck a bit.

not really, they will just be released this month to the players, and the public could wait, and i'm also going to buy one but it doesnt seem like a ridiculous date to me.

ya i just want to see them, dont really care when they go on sale.

I'm probably getting a Naslund one. not many people will get it since is his last year, and theres gonna be too many Luongos/Mitchell's. Not enough Bieksa's
