Personally, I don't care if we stick with what we have or go back to the stick in the rink. I doubt the johnny canuck logo is done though as I heard about some copyright issues somewhere with it or it was deemed to be too close to another jersey? I don't know any details about it so take that with a grain of salt. The Vancouver Giants logo and colours would have been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, check out the other three major professional sports leagues in North America: NBA: http://www.sportslogos.net/teams/list_by_league/6/National_Basketball_Association/NBA/logos/ NFL: http://www.sportslogos.net/teams/list_by_league/7/National_Football_League/NFL/logos/ MLB: http://www.sportslogos.net/teams/list_by_year/42019/2019_MLB_Logos/ The post was referring to the four major North American professional leagues. The fact that there are 122 other pro teams but you had to use an example from a junior league says enough. Is it okay to wear tie dye shirts and ripped jeans to business meetings? Why not, if it's good enough for high school it must be good enough for work. Comparables for the Canucks should be other NHL teams; a $735 million franchise should not have the same look as a bunch of teenagers playing hockey after school for $500 a month.

What, just pure laziness? Imagine if Winnipeg went with the Winnipeg Thrashers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the least the Flames can make some sort of connection to the oil fields or something. There's probably even some point in history when Calgary burned down, so that would work too. I've always been against taking a team name with the team when it moves. Start fresh. Make your own identity. Plus, that way there's also the opportunity to ressurect the team name in the future.

86Viking Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Removing the name Vancouver or changing what the collar looks like is minimal and pointless to even mention. I guess they want to try and hype it up. But who the heck is going to rush out to get a new $150 plus jersey with a collar change or a word removed...I have Canuck jerseys none are with the whale, I have and always will dislike this jersey. I think almost all of my Canuck gear is anti whale. Change the logo, create a new buzz and energy with a new identity. But make it count, dont change the look of a collar, striping on the jersey of the removal of the word Vancvouer which we already had the "solo" whale on the jersey and it was brutal when first introduced. Adding Vancouver never made sense to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know any details about it so take that with a grain of salt. There were copyright issues with Johnny Canuck in the early years of the Aquilini ownership, which likely explains why Johnny Canuck on the primaries, even as a secondary, has been delayed. However, Canucks Sports & Entertainment now own all the Vancouver hockey trademarks...Millionaires, Johnny Canuck, etc. The blue and green scheme aren't going anywhere. That's a given. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I just want them to make the stripes thicker (like Calgary's 3rds) and remove the word mark. sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whcanuck Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Why doesn’t ownership have a fan vote, every Jersey from our past, and just pick whichever one is most popular? I’d go with original 70s look or the flying skate from the 90s. We looked intimidating in black and the blue, green and white just look great!

I wouldn't mind if they kept the stick and rink as the permanent jerseys...enough with changing so much. Edited May 4, 2019 by nux4lyfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its exclusively fans who have seen the new adidas order form and speculating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decapitated Johnny canuck on a bubble letter V. Worst shoulder patch in this teams history. There are a lot of amazing graphic designers in Vancouver, instead they somehow find someone to design THAT. blows me away a professional sports franchise would even use that garbage as a shoulder patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's their best, it looks like Santa got stuck in one of those folding beds. I wish the Canucks had a more edgy, meaner identity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweathog Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Whatever they do, they got to get rid of the whale. Go with the flying shake, or the stick in the rink. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Actually I change my opinion, it could be a small single logo patch on the front of the Jersey in the top right corner so it's more visible to see, since 50 is a pretty big thing 50 Years.................No Stanley Cup....
