Changing logos is like changing identities. yes, changing identities is right. Sedin's retire, been a losing team for years now, old management group's name no longer exists (which was the main reason we had a whale as our logo, youth movement/rebuild.....so ya this team is changing it's identity. Which most will argue is a good thing??? Bottom line is a whale has nothing to do with a "Canuck" or hockey. You have yet to give me a valid argument as to why a whale logo is relevant or suits this team - if you simply don't want change then fine.....but that's not really a valid reason.

My opinion, leave well enough alone. Changing logos is like changing identities. Linden was saying that the team now finally has an identity and with the Sedins retired, they are basically starting a new era. Makes sense to me to move on from those old days and the whale logo. Using the 3rd jerseys instead, as an example, wouldn't really be anything new, but it would make more sense than the whale. It would also be a tip of the hat to where it all began in 1970 (stick in rink logo). Quite frankly, those VANCOUVER whale jerseys remind me of the 2011 SCF and how that ended up.

DeltaSwede Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I hope this is a joke because I am laughing pretty hard right now. Always a good opportunity to gauge CDC about identity/logo change. Never a bad time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The management group that owns the rights isn't even called Orca Bay anymore. The Orca really isn't relevant at all anymore, besides the fact that's it's in the shape of a "C" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Amidst all the conversation I may as well throw out that the Stick 'n Rink third jerseys are my personal favourites. I would mind if we went to something like that permanently, but I'm okay with the Orca as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see people disagreeing which is fine.....but I have yet to see them explain their logic and why they disagree other than opinion..... It's about the location, culture and team. How do people not associate an orca with the Pacific northwest ? an orca breaching from ice vs water...game is played on ice lol. The blue and green are perfect as well. Having the stick in rink and Johnny canuck logos involved already is enough. And to add to the " vintage" I never understood how " Canucks " or " Vancouver " was anything but a nice touch. Do we not take pride in our NHL club having our players wear a " Vancouver " jersey ? Again it's not hard to see how the orca relates. I think people associate the previous ownership with the orca and depreciate its fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I would like to see a logo change (mostly because I hate the orca design), but I would like to see a completely new design rather than a recycled one like Johnny Canuck, stick in rink, skate, etc. I also really dislike the distractingly unnecessary VANCOUVER on them. Get rid of that for sure. We have pretty unique and awesome primary colors in our jerseys. I'd like to see a less cartoony, more bold/aggressive type logo that embodies what it means to be a Canuck. From a marketing perspective it would really help the team too I think. Now is the perfect time to make a change to build the new identity with the new core.

Zedlee Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 The current whale logo is an utter piece of crap and I hate it with a passion. Worst logo in the league. Every team in the NHL has a logo which coincides with the name somehow. Except us...a Canuck is not a whale! Johnny Canuck or the Stick and Rink would be SO much better. Keep the colors...classic and beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
