Mountain Lions are in BC. That is why the logo looks like a Mountain Lion (a.k.a. Cougar) instead of a African Lion. That said a team name doesn't have to represent the city.

The point is that a logo should represent the team name. i.e. The orca logo should represent a Canuck. To me I let C represent canucks, and the orca represent the city/province, and I'm fine with it and like the logo. Orca Bay was a holding company for the Canucks, Grizzlies, and GM Place. The Orca is not a corporate logo as the corporation only owns the team and the building they play in, it doesn't benefit them. The Vintage Stick and Rink is the same concept basically, a C to represent the Canucks and a hockey rink to represent the sport being played. The Skate had the Canucks on the jersey and again something representing hockey. With the orca they just switched it to something representing the province.

The only "appropriate" logo we have used so far is Johnny Canuck. But that was pre-NHL and doesn't have enough history with the team, or modern reference, to justify it as a primary logo. They could do a redesign, but it would end up looking like the giants logo.

BCLIONS ARE NAMES AFTER THE LIONS ON THE NORTH SHORE. ALSO WHY, DO THEY HAVE FEMALE LION ON THE HEMET, WHERE AS THE DETROIT LIONS HAVE A MALE.

The jerseys are likely fake because it's the all-star template recoloured.

There is almost 0 chance of any team using the all-star template.

FAKE!
I made that logo, someone (you) just put it against a jersey material/changed some of the white to silver.

The orca's mouth shouldn't be green either, it looks really out of place. The ice chips also should not be outlined in green, and the top ice chip shouldn't be outlined in green on only one side while the other side looks like a someone splotched some white-out on it.

The green outlined chips looks like some sketchball crackhead was trying to do it with their shaky hands. If you look at the blue as well you can see it was colored by like some sort of a paint brush thing.

Iunnno...it looks pretty real to me, but there are flaws in it, and the dont have to be blue, besides your leak came out a day before the photoshoot, and the pictures suck. I dont believe ur logo leak at all anywayz

[VintageCanuck]

Are they waiting till training camp, sorry if thats been asked.

Hey MaximA,
I'm not sure your interpretation of the "leaked" jersey's logo is accurate. I believe this may have been posted in the other thread at some point, but I believe the leaked image looks like this (minus my shoddy photoshop skills.)


This logo has the following changes from the current logo:
Dark Blue -> Vintage Blue
Light Blue -> White
Red Stitching -> Vintage Blue Stitching
Additional Green Border Added.

The crack in the ice is clearly silver and not blue. There is still a silver outline however it is reflective and appears as white in the photo in alot of places, but you will notice appear darker in places too. The lines around the nose and mouth have not changed thickness, it is just the blurryness.

Not saying that "my" leak is going to be real either. Just that this one CERTAINLY isn't (since its actually based in part on my version)

Also, when did the cell phone pics become "my" leak I just made a mockup based on them. Obviously, if the pics are fake then my mockup is worthless, but if they are real, my mockup might be fairly close.

I really hope the leaks you put together are fake, they look awful. You did a good job putting them together, but the jersey looks like crap.

Wow, I agree. That is likely a more accurate interpretation of the logo.
It's difficult to tell from the blurry images, but I agree that the crack in the ice is silver.

I will revise my high-res logo to reflect the changes, and update the mockups.

It is difficult to tell. I believe that perhaps the outer silver stitching has been shrunk a bit to accommodate the green, but it is way too blurry to judge its width accurately.

Thanks for all the work setting up this thread, and producing the mock ups.

[MaximAfinogenov]

Check this out.

I've modified the concept logo to incorporate the stitched blue ring around the inside, used silver for the crack in the ice, and replaced the white border with silver.

I've also added some textures/emboss to make it look more like a jersey crest.

I think it looks even closer to the leaked photo. What do you guys think?

[hungcanuck]

Looks pretty badass to me!

[AmazingNuck]

That looks just like the leaked photos. Good work

Good eye.

A definite improvement.

Until it's officially unveiled, nothing here is for certain.

And even that 'look' could be a red herring.

But the efforts to show the many 'possibilities' for the new logo, is much appreciated.

It helps satisfy peoples cravings for anything related to the new look.

[Pacificgem]

Looks awesome to me!!! Love it...

[Sushi]

i hate the NHL for making us wait like this, no schedule, no reveal no big marketing campaign

how hard could it of been to create a 30 day campaign through all of july or august revealing 1 new jersey everyday, they would of got way more coverage and free advertisement in papers and on the news, or a massive reveal with all 30 teams sending reps somewhere for a press conference

the entire nhl HQ should be cleaned out, how stupid can they possibly be
