Canucks adidas jersey

Personally my favorite has been the skate first then the original orca with the navy blue maroon silver.

 

I just hope they ditch the horribly timid agency font and switch back to proper block lettering fonts for the numbers.

 

I absolutely detest any jersey that has the agency font.  Our jerseys looked so much better with the block lettering.

Since the blue & green colour scheme went mainstream in 2007 I gave it time and it never grew on me.  Add the cheap looking agency font on top of that with the plain white or green lettering and it honestly looks like one of the weakest least intimidating jerseys we ever worn.  There is something with the black or darker jerseys that adds toughness.

I am fine with the current logo/color scheme (minus the VANCOUVER lettering across the front).

I am fine with the stick in rink logo.

I would LOVE to see us go back to the 94 jersey's (both black and white) as an alternate jersey, as I do not believe we will ever be going back to those full time, even though they have always been my favorite jersey.... lots of memories.

 

I do NOT want to see Johnny Canuck as the main logo...

 

That is all...

I'm used to ads on the boards by now as well, but I want to cry when I see highlights from the 80s and earlier with those beautiful, clean looking rinks with white ice and white boards.

Same.  Growing up and watching the Oilers do amazing things and all the excitement when they played Calgary same with Vancouver's rivalry with the Flames after outplaying them and almost knocking them out of the first round when they went on to win the cup.

Remember first game in Pacific Coliseum...It was against  WNP front row in the corner....Smash bang white everywhere and boy did the players ever POP, stand out.  It's a pity younger fans never will experience the organ and no Jumbotron and no Viagra adds on the boards.

Actually black jerseys are considered to be the most intimidating...

 

Also the whole point of a 3rd is for it to be an alternate (aka DIFFERENT) jersey - I don't even notice when we are wearing ours. Dunno about the logo but colour scheme of black/orange/yellow would be awesome to differentiate our 3rds.

Black was popularized first by the LA Gretzky era Kings killing it after the purple and yellow crown Jersey.  Design gurus decided exactly what you mentioned about black being intimidating and by the later nineties and early 2000s half the league went black including us in our early Orca Entertainment version.  

It got so bad that it was hard to tell who was home and who was away without squinting sometimes.  Teams that sort of kept their colours like Dallas went so dark on the spectrum of green it might as well have been black.  

Blue and Green works well for the Canucks and makes sense given that the Orca hasn't been curbed ( and after a few begrudging decades I hate to admit even though it had roots in capatalism and had zero history or reason to be there in the first place I would rather stick with it or the stick than start something new again) a whale lives in the sea so Blue and Green work.  No Black Please.

Would not go well with the current interest in the Canucks.

 

It probably would though. A new look could spark a bit more interest and sales in jerseys, shirts, hats, etc.

If they stick with the current scheme or make the stick in the rink logo the main one, make something similar to this as the third.

You seriously like it when the alternate jersey has the exact same colours (not to mention also the striping) as the home? 

 

I don't mean to bash your opinion, but I think you may be in the minority as we are one of (if not the only?) teams that has a 3rd jersey that is identical to their home (minus the crests).

I'd also rather an alternate jersey that is not the same colour as the home jerseys.

 

What about something like the Utica greens with Johnny Canuck........?

That looks like trash. That logo doesn't belong on a jersey.  I would get over it if they used of for the shoulder patches.  But that looks hideous as a front crest.

 

I do appreciate the history that logo has.  It just looks far too dated.

I wish we switched to black and green for home games idk why but I love the orca and the stick in the rink in those two colors. That'd even open up the possibility of keeping the blue and green as away but im no genius hockey sweater designer

Beautiful, my favourite Canucks jerseys 

Hands down best Canuck Jersey ever, obviously the stick one is popular but it's just so bland a stick... I really like how the name blends in with the Skate and it's not just a skate to why I feel it's much better. When ever I see someone wearing a piece of clothing with this logo, I have to take a double look, but whenever I see our current logo on anything I definitely don't bother to look twice.

I agree, the skate jerseys just looked aggressive. If I had a choice it would be for a return to that colour scheme with an updated skate logo

Plus as another poster mentioned Black Jerseys seem to have a more intimidating feel to them, would like to see black jerseys again and would go perfect with that logo again! I definitely see your thinking of changing it a bit for an update, but I don't know, you tinker with it too much and you can tell it's to much sometimes. I'd be happy with it the way it is!

Stick with the orca.  So many people in this thread are bemoaning the fact that the jersey they grew up following has been taken away from them and replaced.  Isn't this the whole reason we should resist change now, so that the kids who have started following this team recently don't have to complain one day in the future of the time when the jersey they loved was taken away from them.

Coloured jerseys at home. You're in your building, at your home, you should be wearing your colours.

to me white with white towels for playoffs look better and feels way better then having dark at home, the place always feels better with the white colours at home no matter what anyone says!!!

 

Plus it is a fact that red for teams at home get called more for penalties so why should they have them at home????

I can agree with that, if they could update it without taking away the originality... I still rock my Bure and Linden skate jerseys for every game. Never did buy any of the blue and green jerseys, never did like them
