Canucks reveal new jerseys for 50th season
vancouverbucsfan replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
@Bagginsenclosed is a photo of the teams history wall which I took a photo of on a recent visit to Rogers Arena. So tell me what do you see in the photo? If you said “hey a picture of the team in the 70”s in a Johnny Canuck uniform” then yes you guessed correctly! The team wore a Johnny Canuck jersey in their earlier existence when they played at the PNE agrodome prior to moving on to the Pacific Coliseum. So to all of you reading let me ask you when someone says the word “Canuck” does a constipated looking orca whale come to mind? Would you not all agree that a Canuck is more of a Canadian lumberjack hockey playing type? Just saying. This picture is in the teams main staff entrance next to the team store at Rogers Arena -

Lets open this to discussion Mike Gillis returning President
vancouverbucsfan replied to aqua59's topic in Canucks Talk
Agreed. But he didn’t do enough to build credible third and fourth lines for that 2011 team. Other than scraps like Raffi Torres! Malhotra and Hamhuis were a couple of good signings but he inherited a good team and didn’t add any real good players in the third and fourth lines of the team. -

We are all human and entitled to an opinion. Imho they are making a mistake not doing a JC alternate third. Trust me in my travels in the USA and Canada anytime I have gone in to another teams building(Las Vegas, Arizona, Denver,Tampa) just to name a few of the cities I have gone to watch the Canucks play I have always gotten really good positive feedback on my green Johnny Canuck jersey. Just saying. I rest my case, the team is making a marketing error not considering a jersey in it. I respect all your other guys opinions. Later -

@Trebreh it';s ridiculous they didn't do something new different and exciting like a new alternate third jersey being Johnny Canuck. This would have been the perfect opportunity for the team to have made a new big splash in the water jersey wise and sales jerseys wise with a new and different exciting Johnny Canuck alternate jersey for their 50th season. As your picture implies up above they could draft their newest Canuck and introduce the new Johnny Canuck buy having him put it on to be watched live in person and to millions following on TV. Canucks marketing folks are absolutely CLUELESS with this and are making a huge mistake not considering to have done the new jersey. Thought for sure they'd have considered this having the draft being held live here. Just STUPID IMHO! -

@canuckgame I know whom the other person is(Tigerhearted) and can assure you I am someone else. We were former friends but have had a parting of ways due to irreconcilable differences. I am a long time ice pack holder of the team and both him and I would've loved to have seen a alternate third jersey in a Johnny Canuck style uniform. I am a BC Lions seasons ticket holder as well as an 11 game ice pack holder of the Las Vegas Golden Knights(I have 3 upper bowl seats with the knights that if you or any others reading this seek tickets to one of their games in Las Vegas please feel free to private message me as I am unable to attend all of their games and sell them at cost via craigslist or to friends and people I meet). If you see a fellow dressed up in Tampa Bay bucs gear at BC Lions games it is more than likely me. So no not a burner account as you imply, cheers -

@JaimitoThe guy who does the Johnny Canuck videos should be the new mascot and they can scrap fin for all I care. I have actually met and spoken to him at a few Canucks games as I am a long time 11 game ice pack holder. He is from Vancouver Island , believe his name is Andrew. -

vancouverbucsfan replied to aqua59's topic in Canucks Talk
@aqua59am confused buy your response?!?! Can you please clarify? You mention Burke? Brian Burke? Remember he worked under John McGaw and was given a budget to run the Canucks as a business and had to work within that budget. If gillis was such a good GM why did everyone want him gone in the end prior to him getting fired? You recall fans at Rogers chanting 'fire gillis" in that game versus the Ducks I believe it was? Gillis inherited a good team from Burke and Nonis and he did nothing to support the already good team Burke and Nonnis had assembled. He left the cupboard bare in the end with no good prospects upcoming and his drafts were all horrible! -
What do you want as the Canucks alternate/third jersey?
vancouverbucsfan replied to Roberts's topic in Canucks Talk
A Johnny Canuck one hands down! Think the team is making a big mistake in not even having considered one for this 50th year and the upcoming draft. Stupid of them actually. As well do you guys recall the news story not too long a go about that kids lacrosse team that had Johnny Canuck lacrosse jerseys made up? The Canucks wanted them turned in to them and/or have destroyed saying it was copywright and theirs. If they were so protective of the logo why didn't they even consider doing a alternate third jersey in it for the upcoming 50th season? In all my US travels I have proudly worn this green Johnny canuck jersey and have had nothing but positive response from fellow hockey fans. They tell me they love the Johnny Canuck logo and tell me to tell the Canucks to do a jersey in it as they would even consider buying one. The 50 in these new ones looks like it reads "SO"! I wouldn't even have minded the simple original stick in rink jersey but the one they just rebranded the stick is crooked in the ice rink! The orca looks constipated and is still a painful reminder of the orca bay or as The Province paper news writer Tony Gallagher referred to as 'dorca bay" era! The Messier and Keenan dark days of this franchise. Aquaman supposedly still has a love affair for the whale. He should scrap it and go new and fresh with the simple stick and rink jersey and a Johnny Canuck as an alternate third. A simple logo sells. Look at the Golden Knights and their logo and how simple and good a logo it is. I rest my case. -

@CanuckGAME in my USA travels especially when I have gone the last 2 years to watch the Canucks play the Golden Knights in Las Vegas I have proudly worn the green Johnny Canuck jersey and have had nothing but positive feedback from stranger hockey fans. They really dig the logo and have told me tell your team to throw it on a jersey. They would buy it. Aquaman is making a big marketing mistake not even doing one of them as an alternate third jersey. As well do you fellow canuck fans recall that news story last year about the kids lacrosse team that had Johnny Canuck jerseys made up for them? The Canucks were pissed off about it so much threatening a lawsuit and wanted the jerseys destroyed and/or handed over to them. Why would they fuss so much about a kids lacrosse team donning a Johnny Canuck design logo and now not decide to even consider doing one all together for their 50th anniversary? Most of us fans would have thought the team was finally gonna consider doing a new Johnny Canuck jersey for their 50th year? Yet they get anal over a kids lacrosse team using their logo? Go figure? -

@Boone Jenner wasn't calling you stupid. Calling out the Aqualinni's as STUPID for not even considering doing a Johnny Canuck third jersey. It would sell like hot cakes if they ever did one. In my USA travels when I have gone to watch the Canucks on the road like Las Vegas especially, I have had so many fellow stranger hockey fans come up to me and ask me 'hey, what team is that? It is an awesome logo"! I tell them it is ours proudly. An alternate logo. They tell me to tell our owners to put it on a jersey and they would even buy it. So I don't comprehend the hate on for the logo at all?!?!? A lot of hockey fans out there have never even seen it but once they do they really like it. The team had a perfect opportunity for their 50th anniversary to make a splash in the water and introduce a Johnny Canuck alternate third jersey. They could draft their newest player and have him put a Johnny Canuck new jersey on him at the draft. It would be witnessed buy millions of fellow hockey fans watching on TV as well as to us fans that are gonna be in the arena(Me I am going to the draft) It would have been a perfect marketing opportunity for the team yet the owners remain clueless on this. -

@CanuckinEdmonton league should have blocked the move. David stern has admitted years later one of his biggest regrets is letting team leave Vancouver. -

@ Butter Stotch two in the photos actually are beer league jerseys! Why doesn't the team not do a Johnny Canuck alternate jersey? They have always sold out of them at the arena when they were up for sale at the team store so why not? -

GARBAGE!!! All of them!Won't be buying any of them. I only buy Johnny Canuck merchandise as the team is named after the lumberjack. Not a killer whale! And no Johnny Canuck jersey to boot! Had a perfect opportunity to draft a player at the the draft being held here and viewed buy millions and put a Johnny Canuck jersey on! Called MARKETING!!! Even a Johnny Canuck jersey as an alternate third for 10 games a season would have made sense! Team owners Aqualoonies are totally clueless! In all my USA travels I have had so many hockey fans come up to me complimenting me on my green Johnny canuck jersey. They tell me tell your team to throw it on a jersey and we would buy it! Long time 11 game ice pack holder here. Disappointing to say the least. Supposedly Aquaman loves the constipated looking orca. Why not name the team the Vancouver Orca's instead? -
Their a joke. My nephew was drafted buy them in 2012. Played on their farm team in Oklahoma City and then in Bakersfield California. Was promised he'd be part of their future going forward buy McTavish. Never materialized. My nephew has since signed on with another team and is currently on their farm team. He has a better chance getting called up buy his new team than the Oil. It wasn't that he played poorly but the team just had too many other bodies in front of him and they continue to add bodies constantly. Revolving door and they don't know what they are doing it seems. I hope they continue to LOSE as they never gave my nephew a fair shot at trying them in their lineup for a few games to see if he has it or not. My nephew played in the preseason game here(Vancouver) in 2016 Oilers versus Canucks and he played well.

Just responded to you regarding Mike gillis interview, please check it out. I'm at tonights game in section 320, am an 11 game ice pack holder. I'll be wearing a Golden Knights jersey as I am an ice pack holder of the canucks and Vegas as well, cheers. If your at tonights game I'll buy you a beer and we can chat that painful 2011 loss, cheers Anthony
-
I surrendered my season tickets a few years ago so I don't go very often. Maybe another time. I drink beer

-
After tonights meltdown I might give up on my ice pack next season starting! Getting disappointed with the team and their progress. Should have at least got a tie tonight and a point rather than Delsaster taking a dumb penalty that cost us the game! Grrr!

@Baggins hey, I have kept it respectful with you unlike Schneiderman. We are all human and entitled to an opinion so I respect yours. IMHO I don't feel the orca truly represents our city and the hockey team. It was just a poorly drawn up logo from the former owner John McGaw regime. As well the C shaped whale the C was stolen from the Montreal Canadiens logo. I'll put up an image of it next time I post here. Just waiting to have it uploaded on to my computer. But I will put up a photo of the combination Montreal Canadiens C with the Canucks C fitting perfectly. Stand buy and I'll show you asap, thx
