Do you have any proof it's not the real deal? No. I think it is, and I've backed that up with reasoning. So unless you work for the Canucks organization and have seen the jerseys, which if you're on this message board probably means you haven't, maybe you wanna stop speaking as if you're an authority on the subject.

Everything you said to me applies to you also.

Yes, I understand Fin works with special needs children, that's why I think maybe one of them designed it, I guess there's something wrong with assuming special needs children probably wouldn't design a great jersey...

I'm not very PC, but I do have good taste in jerseys.

Your reasoning is that no one would bother to try and fool us with either a great photoshop:

Yet many people have done just that in this very thread - most unsuccessfully I'll admit.

My reasoning is this:

It's just a cartoon, the design looks nothing like any of the new jerseys unveiled so far, it uses the old "red outlined orca with blue water" logo, which it appears is definitely not going to be the case this year.

And, most importantly, a jersey like that will not sell. You're saying the Canucks might have invested 1 million bucks into that thing?

0 chance.

I will say this... I can see where the 1 million would go if it was invested in completely modifying the BRAND, instead of simply the jerseys. That would include a lot of design work and perhaps extend to replacing any evidence of the old logo at GM Place with the new one. So... a lot of new paint/signage, etc. That's my theory anyway.

We'll see within the next month I guess. I do deserve the right to say I told you so, however.

The islanders stuff are not offical .. made up by some one ...

[__Linden__]

Those Islanders logo's suck.

[ashley1987]

IT'S NOT HAPPENING PEOPLE...
the jerseys will be slightly altered because of the standard changes they are doing to the jerseys for ALL teams, but I wouldnt expect much of a change beyond that. I think the vintage colours with the orca is something this FORUM made up, and that rumour has spread to media outlets.

I think everyone should stop speculating, creating rumours and making canuck fans look like general butt heads becasue they constantly want to change their uniforms/logos... What's wrong with the current?

I worked at a source for sports for the better part of this year and the last and one of the things that we get from our company representatives is extra little tidbits about upcoming products. Our ccm rep (ccm = owned by rbk) told us that the new sweaters would have the orca logo in vintage colours. This was way back before the playoffs ended mind you and before all the speculation on the canucks boards as far as I know. So unless no one here has any connections to rbk and everyone is just making random guesses with the orca logo and vintage colours, I would think its safe to assume that the new jersey will resemble what is being shown on these boards.

Did you happen to ask where he got this info? I have doubts the folks at RBK are telling the folks at CCM about everything. Especially when it comes to hush, hush info. Subsidiary companies rarely know about the specific dealings of the parent company. They tend to be seperate entities for the most part.

Look closely, those Islanders logos are photoshoped Rangers logos.

I hate to break it to you.....we still don't know what the jerseys will look like, because they haven't been released yet.

So I showed the 'Fin' version of the jersey to my wife last night and asked her what she thought...I was curious as to what a impartial, non-hockey fan would think of it. She said she likes the current jerseys better because they seem to convey more strength than anything with the vintage colours.

Keep in mind, I like the version Fin is wearing in that poster...but I found her opinion interesting.

I wish they would release the jerseys sometime next week so it gives people a chance to buy them earlier before the new season.

Yeah, and then the home opener will flood GM Place with the new jerseys.

[MaximAfinogenov]

If the jersey that is released is the one Fin is wearing in the kids club image, I'll make my signature "I'm a huge idiot" until the season starts.

Thanks for the "outside" perspective. The blue and red combination is a strong one - and that's part of the problem I have with it. It's so strong that too many other teams are using it.

What I personally like about the vintage colours is that they are unique. Whenever I see highlights on TV and the Canucks are wearing the vintage, I immediately know it is them. I don't have to wait for a close-up to see if it is the Avalanche or not. I have also been amused by the number of posters on CDC who think that the current dark uniforms are "black". It's understandable, for they look that way on TV. The navy is too dark to show well, even in HD.

The royal Blue and kelly Green, OTOH, you can spot 1.6 kilometers away.
