It not only pays homage to the native Canadians that were here before us, but it's also represents the west coast beautifully. Calling it "corporate" is just a cop out. Beats the hell out of a political cartoon character from 1869. This so-called homage to Native Canadians is absolutely crapola. First of all, First Nations people lived all over Canada and the rest of North America. Not just in BC. The Orca was inspired by the former Orca Bay ownership who wanted their corporate mascot on the Canucks' brand. Also, the Orca logo is not a true First Nations design. The Canucks are named after Johnny Canuck who symbolized the brave Canadian Armed Forces during WWII. The City of Vancouver was built on the lumber industry. A lot of Canadian lumber went into making hockey sticks. So Johnny Canuck is a cartoon character, so what. What do you call the Penguins' Skating Penguin or the Boston Celtics' Winking Leprechaun? Johnny is a fearless and hardworking BC/Canadian lumberjack who plays hockey in his spare time. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny is a fearless and hardworking BC/Canadian lumberjack who plays hockey in his spare time. It was created in the 1800's. That's slightly before WW2. An Orca represents the west coast far better then a lumberjack ever could. Also the Orca is just visually more pleasing. Anyone still relating the current logo to Orca Bay is simply living in the past. But hey, if it floats your boat, maybe we could set up yet another CDC poll, although I doubt the results would be to your liking 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Blackhawks, the other big surprise from the Adidas catalog was seeing new primary sweaters listed for the Canucks in 2019-20! It’s unclear whether the Canucks are working on sweeping changes or maybe just updating the crest to remove the superfluous “Vancouver” arched across the top. But I also wouldn’t be that shocked to see a new primary logo to coincide with the 50th anniversary. I don't quite get how the use of " Vancouver " is not as appreciated by the fans, always thought it was a cool touch. Don't people take pride in the city name on the jersey ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) Johnny Canuck isn't a bad logo until it's put onto a jersey - it just doesn't sit right. I don't mind the JC with the V, tho, but gawd do I wish ownership doesn't screw this one up and we're stuck with something stupid for years to come.

No why? what does that have to do with " Vancouver " ? Like I've said it was a nice touch, I'm in the minority that's cool, just dont see what all the hate for it is about. Like the idea of Jersey adorning the city name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
