I like to refer to my favourite team which I support (from the other part of the world) watching all games and buying merchandising with the word "our". As a fan, I consider myself (and yourself) as a part of the Vancouver Canucks. BTW, in my (humble) opinion, a brand must can't have too many colour scheme changes. Think about Coca Cola or Pepsi. Or Canadiens / Packers / Leafs / Bruins. The colours are an essential part of their brand. Now, after decades of changes, we (they) were able to estabilish a great scheme colour which is linked to one of the most succesful period of our franchise history. It's great to see all the fans wearing green and blue. So I don't think it would be a great idea to change again the colour scheme.

However, I have a gut feeling that the Canucks are hiding something. The 50th anniversary logo, for one, looks cheap and took about 50 seconds to put together. It may only be a teaser. Also, when the Canucks did the open fan vote on the throwback jersey, the original blue Stick in Rink was not included. It doesn't make any sense not to have it included in the 50th anniversary celebration. However, there is a lot of pushing of the Johnny Canuck brand with the JC in house videos and even in parts of the arena. Heard rumours of a JC third jersey in the works. The third jersey is expected to be unveiled during next season. And what about the draft held at Rogers Arena? With the 50th anniversary and the draft right here at home, one would think of a major unveiling. New jerseys and logos usually get unveiled at the draft. Removing the "VANCOUVER" without retiring the orca and the Agency font wouldn't be that significant. We'll just have to wait and see. I, for one, would love to see the orca gone. That Johnny Canucks logo on the upper left would get my vote. That one on the upper right is a little too bland for my liking, while the gay man holding the axe on the bottom looks too Brokeback Mountainish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too refer to the canucks as "my team" but when you mention Brand, that separates them from us. as I said, they are the sellers and we are the buyers, and yes, having a stable brand is good for sales, and colour is part of that. Look at the Kings, it took them 22 years to realise that they are in LA and LA colors (american spelling) are black and silver. The change to black and silver was good for Kings merchandise, but so was Gretzky. So is it colour or product that sells? Vancouver has had 3 basic colour schemes, with many tweeks along the way. Primerily, the current Blue Green White and the 80s-90s Black Orange/Yellow White and then there was that horrible Maroon monstrosity. You can't really say our current colour scheme is different than our original scheme that won nothing. I like the Blue and Green, but I'd be willing to bet that the Canucks could go back to the Maroon Monstrosity, and sell a lot, if Petey, Brock and Quinn started to tear up the league in that garb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current jersey will be forever linked with Lu (I own one home), Edler (I will buy the away), Kesler, Burrows and Bieksa. And the Twins, of course. But, you can also see this thing from a different perspective. 'I own the Petterson's rookie year jersey.''

It would cost the owners a lot more money than just changing the jersey. They would have to update the arena, update and give fresh logos. Rebranding would cost nearly a billion dollars. I can't see the orca going anywhere really. If they were really planning a redesign it probably would have happened when the jerseys switched to addidas from reebok. Updates will happen but I doubt a full on switch of jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Imo, one billion is just a tad high for re branding costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwood12 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) In my opinion by going with the Orca logo the team should be called the Vancouver Orcas and that’s what I call them now.

Vintage 70's from the opening season with the stick in the rink and a V on the sleeves. Aquilini grew up right by the Pacific Coliseum with those uniforms in his childhood. Really want to see that back. need some kind of V incorporated in the striping 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4quality Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 What I could see is the team using their third jersey as a demo. If there is enough positive critical feedback that information could be used as a transition to a new uniform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
