Baggins Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 4 minutes ago, Tiger-Hearted said: Keeping the corporate Orca will continue to make the Canucks brand one of the biggest laughing stocks and most complex in hockey and North American sports. No logo has ever divided any fan base any more than the Orca Bay-inspired logo. A load of crap as usual. The JC logo is not as loved as you believe. When Aquilini announced a new uniform years ago (the Orca with original colors) the poll on this board before it was revealed had your beloved running JC just above the least popular Flying V. "Something new" got more votes than JC. How divided was the fanbase? None of the options (Stick'n Rink, Flying V, Skate, Orca, JC, Other) got close to 50% of the vote. That sums up the actual truth: no matter what the logo is there will be those that don't like it and want something else. Every logo divides this fanbase because every one of them is loved by some and hated by others. It's not our logo that's the laughing stock (other than when the Flying V was revealed) it's our fans. Because no other fanbase has argued more about what the team logo should be or had so many radically different logos used. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A colour scheme far different than the Utica Comets beautiful Kelly green look with blue helmets and pants -> that's the look the Canucks should adopt as an alternate. As for Johnny Canuck, no matter if the alternate is green or blue, a well-designed JC jersey will outsell the Orca. this concept is screams ECHL 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet_91 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Another vote for Johnny Canuck. At least as a 3rd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGAME Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Johnny canuck finishes dead last in every poll ever done. Not sure where that poll above came from but every single poll here and HF has had JC far and away dead last If you want to see for yourself and and finally shut the door on the JC crowd saying it's what the people want. Run another poll and watch JC finish dead last as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What difference does it make? The orca is as much west coast as a lumberjack is. Also, why do you think Orca Bay was called Orca Bay in the first place? Yes I know who Jon Festinger is. He is also a lawyer and was there during the Orca Bay days. He is no longer with the organization and as everyone on this forum is...entitled to their own option. He was obviously out voted during his tenure there (2005-2010) While unlikely, the colour scheme would fit the brand of the other Seattle franchises JC would outsell the orca since the orca would be discontinued 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I can just imagine if the JC logo gets picked. Tons of eco-freaks and treelovers will be triggered and protesting about how an image of a forestry worker shouldn't be used in this day and age of environmentalism, lol. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orca is here for now, just as the flying V was around for awhile, just as the stick in the rink was here for a while. Eventually the Orca will be gone, just a matter of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as the Orca knocked out a previous longevity jersey, so shall it to pass into history. A new jersey is inevitable, as the revenue stream will be tapped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-Hearted Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Just now, The Great Canucks said: Except, the orca has been our logo the longest out of any of our logos. The Leafs had the 'Harold Ballard' leaf for the longest time in their history and still changed to an updated version of their classic leaf crest. The Orca has long overstayed its welcome. Even when Messier went back to New York after cashing his Orca Bay pay cheques, the Orca had overstayed its welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost similar to when the Ducks moved from their Anaheim Mighty Ducks logo to their current logo, or when Buffalo moved from their initial logo to that silly Buffalo head. One of those moves where it's like "...why?" lol I'd actually even say I prefer most of our bad jerseys to these ones. It's just not attractive. I know some people like the Johnny Canuck logo, and I think it looks great on the sleeve, but not as a main and these examples prove just that to me. That 2nd picture especially is bad in my opinion, Edited June 12, 2019 by The Lock 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
