Sounds like corporate influence to me. https://theprovince.com/sports/willes-the-complicated-ultimately-happy-saga-of-arthur-griffiths-and-his-vancouver-sports-legacy While I'm not responding to this quote, I would like to respond to one of your other posts in this thread that I cannot find. I am paraphrasing, but you responded to a comment about the orca being important for indigenous history, and then posited that indigenous history is relevant throughout all of Canada, and then used Montreal as an example. I think you're forgetting the orcas significance to the pacific north west. The orca is much more prevalent in the pacific ocean than the atlantic or arctic. "Killer Whales are the most widely-distributed mammals in the world. Although they are more commonly found in areas associated with high ocean productivity, in the mid to high latitudes, they can tolerate temperature ranges from polar to tropical waters. In Canada, Killer Whales are found in all three oceans, but are less common in Atlantic and Arctic regions. In British Columbia, they have been observed throughout almost all marine waters, including long inlets, narrow passages and deep embayments, as well as occasionally up brackish river channels." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know every time a new jersey comes out, the fan base reacts strongly. But I am happy there is a choice. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official description even added rain as part of life in NW. Hence the rain drops on the heritage letters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post EP Phone Home Posted June 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2019 I like the braille on the back of the jerseys to help out the blind refs. Maybe now we will get the right calls. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksCountry Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Overall I think this is a home run we got a Jersey for the whole fan base I don't think they could have done anything better we also have kept our identity witch was the best move we could have 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I like them. I would have preferred if all four had shoulder patches, like the primaries. 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. Yeah with the patches it looks way better. Maybe setting up ads on jerseys? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
