Hey Guys, 

 

I have a friend who attended the marketing/design meetings for the new Canucks jerseys and he gave me some very interesting information regarding the new jerseys. This guy is extremely reliable but take it however you want. 

 

1. The "VANCOUVER" is officially gone. 

 

2. The Orca is still the primary logo and will be larger and moved due to the removal of the "VANCOUVER"

 

3. There is little to no change to the collar. However, he did mention something regarding the NHL logo on the collar being moved down a bit. (Cant fully rememeber) 

 

4. The third jersey will be royal blue and will have a brand new logo involving the stick. He stated that the logo is a tweak to the classic stick and rink and is something that we have seen before. My guess is that it will be something like the stick in the 50th anniversary logo. Potential a stick facing vertically compared to the original horizontal stick. He noted that he absolutely hated the logo and the third jerseys. 

 

5. The primary jerseys will also have new shoulder patches. My guess here is it will be the "50" with the stick in it. 

 

6. the 4th jerseys as we already know are going to be the classic skate jersey. 

 

During our conversation, he also stated that the Aqualini's absolutely love the classic stick and rink logo. He stated that designs were suggested by other groups including Adidas which were absolutely beautiful. These designs had a lot more green in the primary and third jerseys and different logo's were presented, however were ultimatley nixed by the Aqualini's.  He said this has been a reoccurring issue with the Aqualini's. He mentioned the new updated stick and rink logo with the curved stick ( current third jersey and shoulder patch) was pushed by the Aqualinis and was the worst selling third jersey in the NHL. Once again, due to there love for the stick and rink logo. He also mentioned that the third jerseys were royal blue because the Aqualinis wanted a blue jersey so there would be more blue in the stands. They want to create an environment similar to other teams around professional sports.

 

Once again, take this however you want but I am confident that these points will hold true. GO CANUCKS GO!

 

Those meetings are supposed to be very confidential. If your friend is leaking out any information on the new jerseys, he could be in a great heap of trouble. Or he might be giving out false information in order to hide the confidentiality of the new design.

If they just remove the Vancouver part and change some of the stripes and stuff it’s no different than the jerseys they wore from 1997 to 2008 other than the colours.  Going into the 50th season it’s time to change it up.  I for one am not going to buy another jersey if they just remove the Vancouver.  It has to be something major like a logo change.  If they keep the stick in the rink logo also I’ll just find an old one on eBay or something.  I would buy any version of the running Johnny Canuck.  Well actually if they did the old flying skate but with blue and green colours then I would probably buy it.  No orca logo or stick in rink.

Could anyone with more skill than I put together a Millionaires jersey with a black base and maroon piping on the arms, much like the San Jose alternate this year? I think that would look amazing!

Maroon is too dark of a colour to mix with black. Silver-grey would look awesome with maroon.

Tweaking a bad jersey or going back to the old style whale without Vancouver is not going to garner interest or more jersey sales. Maybe some will drop 1-$300 on a new jersey, I won't until they move on from orca bay
