Ya im not in anyway racist but the native art thing is getting a little played out. There are other people that live in BC. They've had the Canucks logo, the olympics and a plethera of other things.

they're also going extinct.

and the japanese hunt them for oil.

Whats your point?
(yea, I can bold and underline too to make my points look important)

Orca's are not going extinct. The Japanese hunt everything that moves in the sea. What's your point? My point was simple, the orca is a powerful animal and a team animal...something that makes for a good icon.

I bet they arent even changing the colours of the jerseys and certainly not creating a new logo, the rumour about an august 1st unveiling was already BS, I can just imagine what else is..

Have you guys ever considered that rumours perpetuated on here are getting reported by the media, creating this huge web of lies. Obviously the jersey is going to change a bit with the new style coming in for all teams, but I wouldnt count on anything else until I see some hard evidence, and by that I dont mean blurry photoshopped reincarnations.

Native artwork isn't really my thing, but I thought that the Orca in the logo already had a native art design to it.

Haida artwork:











The real deal is actually MORE cartoonish. The current logo is a toned down Haida stylization. Judging from these, we need far more red in our logo.

Im just guessing on the sale thing, but it wouldn't surprise me. Stores always have huge sale when they close. All I know is I went in, asked if they are taking deposits for the new jersey, and the guy told me the lease is up at the end of the month and it's not getting re-newed.

lol, could just be they are moving if they said the lease is up and they're not renewing.

This reminded me of this art (probably the same group) that I saw in Gastown. There's like an aboriginal store out there with carvings and such, if you'dve ever walked in gastown you HAVE TO HAVE seen it, but there were these orcas in there, colored our current (since the new ones aren't out) colors... pretty cool though....

I'm getting sick of people who have no idea why the orca is even on our jersey. Fine you like it, but don't argue that it has something to do with the canucks or hockey or anything. Just stop.

I'm not trying to get in a war of words with you friend. That's not the point of these boards. We have a difference of opinion and that's fine, I did not intend to insult, I wished merely to display the fact that the killer whale is in fact a fine animal to use to represent a team from British Columbia. I am, however, interested to see what you would suggest as an alternative to really suggest what you think is a Canuck. Personally I love humanot's logo of the WWII pilot. It's classy and fantastic, the closest thing I have seen thus far to what could be a Canuck, but then in that case you could also argue...what does a pilot have to do with hockey?

I believe you could make a case about most of the logo's in the league and I would be interested to see how you would defend them.
Toronto Maple Leafs -> What does a leaf have to do with hockey?
Ottawa Senators -> What does a politician have to do with hockey?
Calgary Flames -> What does a flaming 'C' have to do with hockey?
Edmonton Oilers -> What does an oiler have to do with hockey?
Boston Bruins -> What does a bear or a 'B' have to do with hockey?
Detroit Red Wings -> What does a wing have to do with hockey?
Florida Panthers -> What does a cat have to do with hockey?
Tampa Bay Lightning -> What does a lightning bolt have to do with hockey?
Washington Capitals -> What does a capital have to do with hockey?
New York Rangers -> What does a ranger have to do with hockey?
New York Islanders -> What does an island have to do with hockey?
New Jersey Devils -> What does a devil have to do with hockey?
Pittsburgh Penguins -> What does a penguin hold over a killer whale exactly?
Dallas Star -> What does a star have to do with hockey?
Anaheim Ducks -> What does a duck have to do with hockey?
Los Angeles Kings -> What does a king have to do with hockey?
San Jose Sharks -> What does a shark have to do with hockey? p.s. Orca's are known to kill sharks on occasion.
Colorado Avalanche -> What does an avalanche have to do with hockey?
Minnesota Wild -> What does a 'wild' have to do with hockey?
Chicago Blackhawks -> Since when did Indians play hockey?
Columbus Bluejackets -> What does a bluejacket have to do with hockey?
St.Louis Blues -> What does a musical note have to do with hockey?
Phoenix Coyotes -> What does a friggin' coyote have to do with hockey?

Notice a common theme here? At least of all the animal logo's the Canucks have one that depicts British Columbia very well and is cool. Since when was a penguin spotted in Pittsburgh? I don't here there fans gripping about their team name all that much. If anything, logo's are supposed to represent where a team is from more so than what sport the team plays. Just my 2 cents.

A few last points and then I will stop. Since you didn't read my first post very thoroughly I assume you missed how an orca could be used to represent a hockey team. Let me rephrase it in simple terms as to how I was trying to come across. Killer Whales are incredibly smart, extremely fast, cunning and opportunistic predators, kill to protect their young, work as a team and fear nothing. Those are qualities I sure want my Canuck team to have.
