England Wins, I have never been a fan of the Orca with Vintage colours, but I always LOVE your jerseys. Although I absolutely hate the idea of putting the Orca in Vintage colours, your jerseys are absolutely stunning and I would be very pleased if the jerseys that the Canucks release look anything like yours.

I hope they look like his jerseys too, or atleast something like his jerseys!

here's what i'm thinking they may be waiting for
nonis is working on signing linden one more year and extending naslund another season(at less then 6 mil) and then calling a press confrence a anounce it and have then walk out in the new uni's, linden in home and nazzy in away.

I hope you're right about Linden, but I sure as hell hope you're wrong about Naslund. The Canucks BLEW their chance to get rid of Naslund 2 years ago when they SHOULD HAVE SIGNED SCOTT NEIDERMAYER instead of Naslund, so now that this is the last year of Naslund's contract, let's hope they don't have another brain cramp and resign him. I'm sorry, he was good a few years ago, but that was A FEW YEARS AGO...players DO NOT regain their OLD form, no matter HOW much we may hope and wish they would.

I'm a big Canucks fan, but that doesn't mean I have to LOVE every decision and every player they have.

Also if I hear Naslund say, "We just have to come out a little HARDER." in another interview after a game, I swear I'm going to send him a box of Viagra with a note: "Maybe THESE will help you come out a little HARDER!"

Go Canucks Go!

Ya, the green one stands out more.

Here is the one with silver (very hard to make as there is no such thing as silver in PS) and greys. Royal blue is also very hard make as it's a very rich colour and comes to life from real lighting as does the silver. Hmmm.
Not sure on this one but I gave it shot anyhow.

Cheers!

I love the design, but those are Leaf colors, and no team wants to be compared to the Leafs.

You have quite the talent when it comes to designing jerseys. I really hope that you get some sort of deal to design a logo for a team in any hockey league around the world.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the ice. I don't know how to describe the picture I have.
The whole white 'ice' surface is trimmed with the silver. Not just the shards.
But the trim is an inside trim, and there is still navy blue trim around the whole logo.

Know what I mean?

Here is what I think you were talking about.

Those are kind of Leaf colours, but not really. Leafs have regular blue, and this is royal blue. So its kind of different. I don't think anyone has this colour of jerseys (the one that England Wins made) in the NHL.

i think that jersey looks more like the LA kings than anything else with the blue and silver...slap a kings logo on it instead of the orca and you'll see what i mean.

Not only that, these are the spitting image of the 1970's Leaf uniforms. With a bit of silver.
It's the green that make the Canucks vintage colours unique.

This is the second comment that you have made knocking this thread. If you think it “blows” so much, move on. Stop bitching about it already.

Maxim spends a lot of time updating this thread daily and you have the nerve to come in here twice and bash it for reasons unknown? I feel like e-slapping you in the face right about now.

[Bieksallent03]

THIS SO GOT MOVED FROM ITS OWN THREAD, DON'T BASH ABOUT LENGTH (IF YOU THINK IT'S TOO LONG, DON'T READ IT!!!)

honestly, i'm really not looking forward to the new jerseys. I prefer to savor as much as possible the sweet jerseys we have right now while they last. the orca, while some will argue is nothing more than a commercial logo based on orca bay, is a good mark for the team. whether anyone else agrees with me on that on this forum, i don't know. i feel the orca is a good representation of what someone is bound to remember after a trip to Vancouver. what do you see everywhere in YVR? what do you see in almost every other major public building? native artwork, which usually features the killer whale in some way. the haida are a part of the history of the area, and their artwork is a part of Vancouver culture no matter who argues it's not. you'd be blind not to see it.

as for the colours of the orca, they work much better than vintage colours. it IS a native style design, and those happen to be colours that are generally associated with common use in native artwork. just because green and blue represent the mountains and ocean, which are obviously symbols of the coast, doesn't mean they work well with everything, and it doesnt mean that any design you come up with that doesn't work with vintage colours is bad. the white and dark blue of the orca are natural colours for that style of drawing of the animal. the grey/silver and lighter blue work well because the whole idea of the picture is that the the animal is breaking out of ice. when you think of colours for ice, do you think green and blue? no, you think silver, grey, blue, and white. the two blues work very well in defining eachother, giving depth to the logo. the red i know is a sore spot for most people, but its my favorite part of the colour scheme. like i said before, the colour scheme is made up of what works with the picture and what are common colours used in native artwork. the red provides an amazingly effective contrast to what is entirely cool colours. red is a royal colour, its a symbol of authority and power, and it's a very warm, aggressive colour, especially placed with those select other colours. overall, the logo has depth, both visually and conceptually, and it provides jersesys which psychologically give the other team the impression of power and aggression. it works. and for all you vintage fans out there, they even had the stick in rink logo added as a shoulder patch! that in itself was a very good idea as that logo looks amazing in those colours.

don't get me wrong, i was entirely thrilled with the use of the vintage jersey as a third jersey last year. but even in the small amounts it was used, it got boring. however clever it is, the logo has almost nothing to it. it's boring. the colours themselves mean well, and they do work well with the stick in rink logo. mountains and ocean. sweet. but mountains and the ocean are not nearly as defining of the city of Vancouver as what will surely soon become known as the vintage orca logo. what everyone seems to forget is that they changed those jerseys for a very good reason: they were boring, tired, and passive. the vintage colours are nothing but very light, cool colours. they don't present a feeling of power, or even confidence. they do look nice together, but if this forum suddenly had those colours as their theme, i would be disgusted. as far as the orca in vintage colours is concerned, the green makes the whale look sick. what is the opposing team going to think looking at a team who are wearing a bunch of sick whales on their jerseys?

leaving my oppinion on the many other jerseys we have had out of this (it would take too long), i feel that changing what we had last year is a mistake. a sick, sick mistake. and i count down our final days with the best jerseys and logo we ever had. here's to another dynasty of flying V's.

as a side note, all of you out there hailing this new "modern" stick in rink logo, it's really, really ugly. it looks like a two year old drew it in microsoft paint. i'm sorry, but it really is the dumbest suggestion ive seen yet from all this jersey madness, and all because you saw a crappy drawing of the vintage stick in rink logo on a cartoon jersey worn by an anamorphic whale?

I'd like a johnny canuck type logo personally.


to put this to rest, johnny canuck is, and forever will be, a minor league worthy logo at best. it's something that much smaller leagues would use, and has no place in the NHL. reason? no one knows who it is. no one, besides those in Vancouver, cares. all they see is a lumberjack with a hockey stick, and for the same reason those awesome johnny canuck jerseys with him as the aviator looked, it brings about the wrong idea. you think, Vancouver Aviators. Vancouver Lumberjacks. it doesn't identify the team to the city, and even if we know who he was and that our name comes from him, I dare you to name me a team or fan of a team anywhere else in the NHL that would recognize what the hell we would be wearing.

I am not for or against the JC logo- However, if you think only anyone in Vancouver knows who it is...you're sorely mistaken or misinformed. Johnny Canuck is an icon of "Canadiana" dating back before the turn of the previous century. It's older than the NHL itself and used to mean a lot during the Second World War when it came back into Canadian pop-culture. It is to Canada what uncle Sam is to America...so please - just because you don't know the lineage and tradition of something doesn't mean there aren't others, especially outside of Vancouver, that do.
