Stormtrooper Steve Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 First off, I’m a long time reader on this forum but a first time poster so go easy on me. I’m excited to start this off and get CDC’s opinion on this: Is it time for a new Canucks identity? With the Sedin’s contracts coming to an end and the Canucks management finally accepting the rebuild I wonder if they should look at a possible new identity for the team. I look at the recent success of the Oilers, Leafs and Penguins (and keep in mind I am slightly superstitious when it comes to hockey) and how they have undergone recent jersey changes as a kind of step forward in a new direction. And now with the Devils getting a completely new jersey set for next year (coincidence?) I think it might be a good idea for a change. I personally would like to see even a slight change of going to the current alternate jersey full time with a new white away edition. Nothing crazy, but it marks a step in a new direction for this franchise as I think the current jersey set (as we’ve had a lot of success with) marks a time that coincides with the Sedin era if you will. A jersey change can’t change the product on the ice but it can give way to a new era of Canucks hockey and another step to the future (core) of this team. What are your thoughts?

Yeah, I find the "Vancouver" a bit unnecessary, but I don't hate it. The Orca absolutely bleeds "West Coast" though. Especially with the Native-esque design. Love it.

24K PureCool Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 The new adidas jerseys is your change. No need to go over and beyond on that. Just remove Vancouver and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-23 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I I liked these jerseys, bring em back. Especially the red and black one, but that is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ryan Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Just as long as the old black, yellow and read atrocity ISN'T brought back. The black road jersey wasn't that bad, but the yellow home jersey? Just shoot me Team identity. Anything that resembles a winner, I'm for. We could do worse than having Horvat's style be the "team identity".

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I pointed this out 2 years ago, and it will always ring true. Vancouver fans are so bipolar it's insane. You can guarantee there's a jersey thread at least every 6 months. Just leave the Jersey alone for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I've loved the jerseys since they were first unveiled. What I'd really like to see though is an alternate Johnny Canuck uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'm fine with our identity. When the Sedins retire they'll be a sort of change for sure, but the jerseys and logo are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Neilsons Towel Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I like the current jerseys as is. The Vancouver lettering has grown on me as well. I wouldn't change a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylager Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 By "identity" I thought you were referring to our lack of balls, not the jersey. Yes we need a new identity. A much tougher, more aggressive, harder to play against, less passive, stick up for your teammates kind of identity. Just remove "Vancouver" from the jersey and it would be even more awesome.

Fanuck Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 The word is there will be no alternative jerseys of any kind for any team next season as the league transitions to their new supplier -Adidas. In any case, we have more important things to focus on as a franchise than jerseys imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
