i love the new lettering and numbers, much more modern

[sd94.]

now that i look at it the font on the jerseys (especially the players name/number) looks a lot like the sharks lettering. Is it just me? i dont think so.

Why doesnt anyone understand the jersey concept?????? Everyone just hates the Vancouver text sure it is a busy jersey but u know it looks pretty sharp.
Canucks was writting across the top of the WHL jerseys in Vancouver in the 60's the same way it is written on the new ones. The millionairs then went on to have sweaters with a V that had "Vancouver" written in it! There was then the vintage stick and then the orca. So you take all of of hockey history in vancouver minus the halloween years nd u get what we have now. Sure it could have been better but i think its a cool idea.

Speculation and conjecture are two words that come to mind...
Not bad stuff there topcorner, but taking the wordmark out and moving the logo up to the chest are the main thing that needs to be done before any "trim" details.

I LIKE THE WORDMARK.

THE WORDMARK SHOULD STAY!

99% of the people disagree and I'm not sure how you can say that after looking at those.

The text makes the whole thing busy and cluttered. Good design is knowing when to say when and dial it back again if necessary.

They obviously missed that step here.

well i like it. so there.


also, i've been staring at those NHL07 mock up skins for weeks, hoping those would be our jerseys, so i'm really excited that those were what we actually got!! i was really pulling for the wordmark. and i love that it's the size it is.

remember these?

whoever posted this was a genius. i hoped it would be our jersey the moment i saw it.. and now that it is, i could not be any happier.

well done canuck creative team!!!!

[kennybobjoe]

just because something has a special meaning behind it (or in this case 2-4 special meanings) doesn't mean it's going to look good. I mean, why not throw even more things on it: sayings about the canucks, the actual word "CANUCKS". Let's go all out, surely it will look good because of the meaning behind it, it just has to *big puppy dog eyes full of hope*. http://bp1.blogger.c...d6e1454c83d.jpg (from tournament of logos) well that theory went out the window

I've seen the new jerseys guys

I think a lot of you guys are going to be pissed off and disappointed.

I can't say much but the Fin's cartoon photo is pretty close.

Haha. I almost thought you weren't joking for a minute there.

You know what they should have done? They should have come up with a style and colour scheme that reflected the team's history and heritage, but was new and stylish.

They should have conceived a logo that was strong, fast, intimidating, pretty, easily recognizable, politically correct, and appealed to the key taget demographic of 6-to-57-year-olds.

The look should have reflected all the regions of British Columbia, should have been earthy and outdoorsy, but still urban and edgy. Something you could wear to the beach, to the opera, to work, to the gym, to church, and to Church's Fried Chicken.

It should have had vents, pockets, zippers, snaps, a hood, and a snitload of velcro, but still been clean and sleek.

It should have imparted the message, "We are proud of our team and our city and our province and our country, and, while we are somewhat disappointed with the team's inability to capture a Stanley Cup, we remain ever hopeful, and secretly suspect that this jersey will somehow give the team the ability to succeed this time."

Then EVERYBODY could have liked it.

i kinda like the jerseys but my original problem with them was the cluttered look especially on naslund cuz he has the C right below that is the wordmark then the orca but its kinda growing on me. i also wouldnt mind if the wordmark wasnt there then the jersey wud look pretty sweet

I know it's a little early to say this but in the wake of the new jerseys coming out and the divide it as created, I would like to make a plea here. Now that the color scheme is now official BLUE with green, it's time for everyone who goes to a HOME game to "Believe in Blue." As you all know, the Flames have the sea of red, well we can now have the sea of blue. Wear the new jersey, the vintage blue jersey, a blue Canucks t-shirt, or hell, just wear a blue t-shirt you bought from Wal-mart.

The point I'm making is that out of all this new jersey controversy we, at least, now have the vintage BLUE back and we should give Flames fans a run for their money.

The poll being conducted elsewhere has about 55% of people saying they'd like the wordmark in some way or form (ie, those ho don't support it straight-up suggest making it smaller or making it say "Canucks"). Only 45% or so don't want anything to do with it. Regardless, you're being dramatic.

[NumbNucks]

Like many others, I hated the lettering above the logo. But, having looked at it for a couple of days now, I think I'm cool with it. Wish they would've done something about the logo to make it more interesting.

I think the vintage logo looked better because of the sharp contrast of blue and white. The orca doesn't stand out as much.... I guess that's why the text was added.
