    The Rough Tough Canucks of 1994 Stanley Cup Finals

    The Florida vs Vegas series was another great example of toughness of a different kind. Florida got decimated with injuries, a bit like how the 2011 Canucks got broken down, whereas Vegas just withstood everything physically. That may be part to do with size but it's also to do with endurance. That's a different kind of toughness. A bit like a boxer going into the deep rounds, Florida went deep but really were broken by the end with nothing left in the tank, a bit like the 2011 Canucks.

    If that Canucks team had been completely healthy, in the finals, they would have swept Boston.  But I guess they only have themselves to blame for not closing out Chicago much earlier.

    Use your words, @morgo  Seems you disagree with what I'm saying...maybe elaborate a bit if you have a point to make.

    Wow, an authoritarian can't handle someone having an opinion that differs from theirs...  That's a new one :rolleyes:.

    You seem to think this is all the fault of people calling out the bigoted players who used this as a platform to promote their barbaric beliefs.  You also seem to be opposed to letting these dirtbags be held accountable for being terrible people.  Ignorant straight white guys who are afraid of an article of clothing are not an oppressed minority.

    Canucks File Trademark for Updated Skate Logo

    in Canucks Talk

    Posted

    The Canucks should do one of two things...

    1:  Leave the primary jerseys unchanged and stick with something for once.  Or...

    2: Replace the Orca with Borovich's original Stick and Rink and switch out Agency for a bloc-font.  Put the Orca, the "VC" patch or one of the simpler Johnny Canuck logos on the shoulders.


    Two things that should absolutely never change again are the current colours and the current striping configuration.  Nobody liked the way 2011 ended but it was still the best team in Canucks history and we should never deviate too far from what we wore then.  I want to see us redeem the awful way that season ended by winning a championship in Blue, White and Green.

    If we switch back to Black, Yellow and Red at this point, we will forever be known as the team that can't decide on an identity.  The mistakes of our 27 year identity crisis were finally rectified in 2007.  We don't need to repeat them.

    New Alternate Sweater leaked

    The Canucks need to stick with blue and green.  If they go back to Black, Red and Yellow, they will be forever known as the team that can't decide on an identity.

    Have throwback nights dedicated to the original skate jerseys but besides that, leave those colours to the Flames.  Blue, Green and White is a great, underused scheme that represents Vancouver perfectly.

    The unnecessary change to the striping completely negates the one thing the Skate jersey had going for it...  Nostalgia.  Change for the sake of change.

    The mountainous hanger effect is kind of neat...  but everything else about this design is borderline lazy.

    These third jerseys need to be our main or at least keep the design.

    While the logo and striping have grown on me significantly, I just don't like the colours as much as the ones on our main set.  The off-white feels like it's trying too hard for that "old tyme hockey" look and the Navy just seems dark and dull compared to our normal Royal Blue.

    As far as a jersey change goes, I find myself agreeing more and more with Joseph Borovich.  Just put the original Stick and Rink on our current jerseys and call it a day.  Maybe change the agency font to something more traditional and adapt a complimentary shoulder patch but leave the changes at that.  Borovich's logo is the closest we're going to get a classic at this point anyways.

    Zdeno Chara makes scathing allegations about Canucks during 2011 Stanley Cup Final

    in Canucks Talk

    Posted · Edited by morgo

    If you had told me, prior to the 2011 final, that you could hate a team as much as the Bruins, I wouldn't have believed it was possible.  The 94 Rangers or even Mark Messier himself don't come remotely close...

     

    - Bergeron's ridiculous claim that Burrow's teeth penetrated a hockey glove, leaving bite-marks on his finger.

    - The unprecedented length of Aaron Rome's suspension.

    - The league ignoring Johnny Boychuk's cheap-shot that broke Mason Raymond's back.

    - Their classless fans chanting "Flopper" during said incident.

    - Ratboy speed-bagging Daniel Sedin and Daniel getting a penalty.
    - The media painting good guy, Roberto Luongo, as arrogant.
    - The media painting arrogant guy, Tim Thomas, as the down-to-earth every-man.
    - The Bruins getting away with breaking two of Alex Edler's fingers in game 6.
    - Dr. Mark Recchi verbally burying our team after they won.
    - Ratboy's cheap, hip-check on Sami Salo in 2012 and then saying he was "protecting himself."

    - Shawn Thornton saying he fought 7 Canucks at once.
    - Rat-face kissing an imaginary ring upon his return to Vancouver in 2013

    - And now Chara's moronic, character assassinating, comments and all the mouth-breathing, room-temperature IQ, troglodytes who believe his story at face-value because they're butt-hurt about a team that lost the cup over TEN years ago...

    Everything about the Bruins makes me absolutely sick to my #$%&ing stomach...  The conclusion of the 2019 season was absolutely spectacular.

    Reverse Retro 2.0 Leak?

    Let's put it this way: why did we even change the logo and colours in the first place? Could it have had anything to do with the creation of Orca Bay Sports, or was that merely a coincidence? 

    The same reason most teams changed their uniforms in the 90's...  To increase merchandise sales.  Judging from the colours they chose, it was obvious they were trying to capitalize on the branding success of the Colorado Avalanche. 

    If the change was done specifically to reference Orca Bay, why were other logos (with no Orca) created and considered?  Hell, some of the logos attempted to update the Skate and incorporate our previous colour scheme.

    What the Canucks did in 1997 was trendy, bandwagon jumping for sure.  But that wrong was righted when we went back to our original (and best) colours and resurrected the traditional striping configuration associated with them.  No logo we've ever had has directly depicted a 'Canuck.' Management obviously thought the Orca was a stronger logo than the Stick and Rink or Skate and I agree with them wholeheartedly.

    The video literally says they knew in advance there would be rumblings about the connection to Orca Bay Sports, but they did it anyways, because that's what corporations do.

    Yes, the video says that they were aware that people would make the connection to Orca Bay Sports...  But they went ahead with the concept because they thought it was a strong logo.  If the goal was to create a "corporate logo" from the onset, Brent Lynch wouldn't have resisted using an Orca in the first place.  Nor would there be a handful of concept logos from that process that don't feature a killer whale.

    The Orca was forced upon the Canucks' brand by John McCaw and his Orca Bay lieutenants from Seattle who initially wanted to change the name of the team to "Orcas". Also, many tourists and newcomers to Vancouver plus many of today's kids think a "Canuck" is an orca whale.

     

    We Are All Canucks.

    We Are Not All Orcas.

    Nobody thinks the Orca is a Canuck.  And if they do, they have bigger problems to worry about than the branding of a hockey team...  A lumberjack isn't a Canuck either.

    Your revisionist history on how the Orca came to be is as tiresome and unwanted as this new jersey....

    What are your unpopular Canuck opinions?

    The Skate jerseys are terrible and without the run in 1994, there would be zero discussion about bringing them back.

    The jerseys we went to the final with in 2011 were fantastic.  If they'd won the cup in the blue one, it would have been one of the best looking Championship presentations in league history.  I never minded the arched script.

    I'd like it if this was our home jersey with a matching white for the road.  Same great colours and striping of our current jerseys, no more colour issues (the Orca not having green), the closest thing the Canucks have to a "classic" logo on the front, albeit improved (unlike the current version). This is the direction the team should go in.
