The following is a direct quote from Zimmerman.

Quote

In the end, the goal was to incorporate the best that history had to offer into a single design.

“The process of developing the new jersey was all about recognizing that probably more than most teams, we have quite a bank of different looks, feels and colours,” said Zimmerman. “What we needed to do was determine what were the elements that could both reflect the past as well as where we’re going in the future.”

Exactly what was tossed around the boardroom table? Nearly everything, including resurrecting the old Johnny Canuck logo. And while Wednesday’s unveiling showed that the popular lumberjack won’t be making a return this season, Zimmerman concedes that the door hasn’t necessarily been closed just yet.

“[Johnny Canuck] was part of the exploration. Obviously we didn’t make that decision. We have that opportunity [in the future] if we choose to.”

With that comment, I think that if they ever decide to get rid of the Orca, then this will probably be the way they go.

I made two versions of the home Johnny Canuck Jersey. One with a white trim around Johnny Canuck (Which I prefer--I think it helps it pop.) and the following with no white trim.

yeah the humanot logo looks great with the wordmark. Has a great vintage look to it.

The orca looks way too modern to go well enough with the wordmark.

Too bad the wordmark gets in the way of the "A" and "C"

Put the C and A at the bottom right on the Humanot Design. I think it might work.

i see my initial edit to the blue trim on the white jerseys is really getting popular hey?

the trim looks so much better like this..

yes it does. The blue trim on the bottom is better than the white trim. Notice also that on my edits I changed the color of the collar from turquoise to dark blue. Subtle, but much better I think.

i dont hate these jerseys though I think johnny canuck or the humanot under the vancouver lettering would look better. or better yet they could have just used the old stick jerseys which everyone already has and everyone likes. i don't know if everyone will be rushing out to buy these ones(except for the bandwagoners.). I'll still wear my old stick jersey, i don't see the point in buying one of these.

my favorite jersey is a toss up between the skate and flying V btw.

I love the jerseys, they are so unique!

[Boognish]

These are the nicest Canucks Jerseys ever.

[Envy.Sens]

Johnny Canuck with goggles is the best one by far.

The smaller word mark is a massive improvement, I wish it was like that instead. I so think these are better than the real ones, but I think there has to be some green worked in somewhere. I would like to see the real jerseys look with this smaller word mark.

that actually looks pretty cool with the wordmark. a lot better than the orca. makes the uni look totally vintage.
Since you like it Pfizer, here is what the home jersey would look like.

For the fans of the Humanot Logo.

This (along with the white version) is awesome! I would like to see this with the smaller word mark above as well... I may even consider having my own custom jersey made up like this. If others are interested I may be able to get some of these made for a decent price. It'd probably be about the same price as the store bought authentix jerseys if not cheaper.

I was so looking forward to getting one of the new rbk jersey's but I will never buy this latest canucks jersey. I can't wait until they change all over again. Bleh... oh well.

I really want the blue home jersey... like, really, really want it.

The other jersey I want is the white vintage one that actually seems to be made out of sweater material (does anyone who knows what I'm talking about know where I can shop for one?)

[canucksnumber91]

woot...anyone get their jerseys on the day they came out? I got mine on order, and i'll have it here on the day they release it in stores
