  1. All because your lil' orca didn't make the list. That's a pity.
  2. The mid 70's away blue Stick in Rink, the away black Flying V and the home white Skate were the only Canucks choices. It speaks enormous volumes when the Orca was left out. Some teams had 4 choices. The buffalo head wasn't included in the Sabres' choices either. If the original home white Stick in Rink with the white V's on the arms were included, it would have made the Top 25.
  3. It appears that most hockey fans would disagree with you. The Flames' classic look came in at #16. The Orca is such a poor representation of the Canucks' identity that it didn't even make the list of Canucks choices when the NHL did their fan polls on the 25 Greatest NHL uniforms.
  4. I agree with you on the Flames. And I got news for you, buddy. The Flames are phasing out those uniforms and gradually making a return to their classic 80's set - traditional block font and a crest that boldly utilizes the team name in the city initial. That uniform has the complete package. Put that against the Canucks look and it's day and night, not counting the classic striping and colour schemes on both jerseys.
  5. God could punish you for using his son's name in vain.
  6. No ROH for the Canucks' first legitimate point-scorer, Andre Boudrias(RIP)? What about the club's first consistent goalscoring threat, Tony Tanti?? Had 45, 39, 39, 41 & 40 goals in 5 consecutive seasons on a subpar team. What the hell is "New Generation Day"?? This club continues to be a joke under the Aquilini ownership.
  7. I wouldn't commit tax evasion to buy the club either.
  8. The Orca remains...contaminating the Canucks' identity. Where's the green in the logo? Where's the Canucks' pride in the Orca?? Where's the block font with added green bordering? Heck, even the 50th anniversary patch has a green border, so why not the number font? As much as I hated the original Orca Bay uniforms, those uniforms were well put together - consistent colouring throughout including the logo and traditional block font. The current garbage the club has just shows how cheap, clueless and corrupt the Aquilinis are as owners.
  9. JC is not popular on Millennial-dominated CDC which is a very small percentage of Canucks fans. JC, though, is far more popular than the constipated and corporate Orca outside of CDC. The Orca is the most hated and despised logo among the majority of Canucks fans all-around. If JC had replaced the Skate in '97, there wouldn't be any outcries to have it ditched. There wouldn't be any demands for an animal to represent the Canucks' identity just because the animal is regional to BC and along the coast. On other social media outlets, there are countless demands to get rid of the Orca, which was John McCaw/Orca Bay-inspired.
  10. From abusing and ripping off their berry farm migrant workers to tax evasion, not to mention their slumlord reputation and how they have weaseled their way into the Canucks ownership, this lowlife family, especially Francesco, deserves every bit of karma that goes their way. Their philanthropy and charities mean absolutely squat. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/campaigns/tax-cheating-consequences.html
  11. Well-deserved congratulations Petey! Such a first-class individual! So lucky to have him here in Vancouver.
  12. Two different leagues at two different levels. The Giants logo is so much better than the Orca. Plus a 2007 Memorial Cup championship to go along with it.
  13. The Flying V and Skate caught my interest as a young fan. As I got older and wiser, I familiarized myself with the Canucks' heritage and history, ie. Johnny Canuck and the classic Stick in Rink. I began to love and appreciate it. I'm very sure today's young fans can do the same. The Orca scoring low is not shocking at all. As for Johnny Canuck, I don't even have problems going with a stationary version that looked a little less cartoony. **Thanks for the kind compliment on my tiger avatar.
  14. It's guys like you, buddy, that make Canucks fans look bad. Later dude.
  15. Fin can stay but the constipated and corporate orca needs to be harpooned. 1000% agree. It's Vancouver Canucks. Not Vancouver Orcas. Not Vancouver Orcanucks. Don Taylor, who knows a lot more about sports logos and uniforms than most people, is 1000% on the mark. So is the Moj. As a Generation Xer, I have far more respect for highly knowledgeable "old farts" like Don, the Moj and David Pratt than I do for arrogant, dismissive, disrespecting, self-entitlist Millennials who think they know more but don't know bugger-all. Outside of CDC, the Orca always gets killed in other polls.
  16. And who hired the design department?? The Aquilinis - one of the WORST ownerships in professional sports. They simply butchered the Canucks brand, not counting the Skate throwback jersey. All for the 50th anniversary.
  17. Well, I'm not going to stoop down to your immature childishness. Just say "congratulations". You got what you wanted.
