The last 3rd Jersey we had with the decapitated JC and the Nike swoosh stick in rink is the worst 3rd Jersey this franchise has ever had in its 50 year history.

You mean this one? I loved it and have one. Unfortunately it has Kesler on it, might change it to Leivo if he sticks another yr. The good thing is we have so many to choose from. Canucks have no shortage of jerseys over the yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, it looks simple and old school. Will reserve judgment until I see the players in a game. I didnt like the 40th when it came out, but it grew on me. By the time I wanted it, it was sold out.

24K PureCool Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I have to say, without the wordmark, the orca feels a little barren. Maybe needs some stripping on the top like the blues jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP Phone Home Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Man that third doesn’t look so hot. Just stop trying to modernize a classic and stick to the classic stick and rink with the V sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I really like the new home and road jerseys, the new shoulder patch stands out, and removing the wordmark is a huge improvement. Like it or not, the Blue and green colors and the Orca are our identity, they made it much better with these changes. I love the 3rd, that jersey will look really cool on the ice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with a C/A patch and the 50th anniversary patch, it will work better. Also like the lighter shoulder patches on away which matches the rest of the white jersey better. On the home, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 3 hours ago, Jester13 said: Allow me to steelman the argument for the orca and offer counterpoints: 1) represents the west coast ... So do mountains, skiing, bears, beavers, moose, seals, sea lions, kelp, tankers, hiking, trees, forestry, sushi, rain, etc., so why does an orca represent it best? Who chose an orca as best to represent a team called Canucks? Right, the company named Orca Bay Sports. Imagine Orca Bay's name actually being Beaver Tail Sports, and then having them decide a beaver as our logo, and a mascot named Ben. 2) the logo looks great ... To some. To others it looks like a pregnant whale, a constipated whale, a pregnant constipated whale, cultural appropriation similar to the Eskimos, etc. Also, so do all of our other logos, such as SiR, skate, Johnny Canuck, so why not those? 3) we've had the logo for the longest ... So what? Is time the deciding criteria on what logo to use? The other logos were still used for years and years and years, long enough to have fans become attached to them, so why does this current generation of fans, who weren't even around for the other logos, have their attachment honoured as primary and none of the others? We've don't primary for all our logos except Johnny Canuck, so why not go with him for the next ten years? 4) let's build a tradition with the current logo, because you can't please everyone ... I think it's pretty clear, with how many different logos and jersey modifications over the years, that the tradition is to change and try to appeal to everyone, so why not usher in a new core with another change? Since there are lots of unhappy orca fans, why not go with something completely new, like the JC air pilot concept out there? It has some pretty cool history aimed at where the name Canuck comes from, so if a new logo is made and looks super awesome, would that work for orca fans? If tradition of sticking with one logo is of such importance, why not go back to the original SiR logo and go with that instead of the orca? So, here are some orca points with counter arguments. I'd love to now here some different orca arguments to counter, as I think I've offered some reasonable rebuttals. Second time new owner announces a uni change, second time Orca remains primary. It seems he sees the excuses as a bunch of baloney as well. A good logo that represents is all that matters. Not the how or why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
