granpappy Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 3 hours ago, Baggins said: You should look up the history of the Orca, the Vancouver Aquarium, and what was learned about Orca's as a result. Did you know at one time there was a 50 calibre machinegun located at the mouth of the Burrard Inlet for protection from "Killer" whales? What was learned about Orca's at our Aquarium did indeed change the world view. You should tell all the local whalewatching tour companies there's no interest. Surely they're wasting their time on a business bound to fail. not a single word about hockey . . . you see, i am a hockey fan, not a cetologist. i don't care about the whale. why not put a crest of the orca onto the salmonbellies jersey then and see how well that works. that's how much sense it makes having an orca for the canucks logo. orcas to me, denotes a high school girls basketball team.

I kind of remember talk like that back then. Psychologically aggressive colors. A sports psychologist was involved in the design. He should have his head examined.

Why does it have to do with hockey? Check the logos from around the league. The majority don't have anything in them pertaining to hockey. The Orca forms a C for Canucks, just as the Stick in Rink forms a C for Canucks. If one is invalid to represent 'Canucks' both are as neither image actually represents the team name 'Canucks' other than forming a C. One reps where the team plays (as do the uniform colors), while the other what the team plays. Both are valid or both are invalid. It's just the usual lame excuses you're giving.

iinatcc Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Canucks probably have the best colors in the league so I say keep it the way it is. I say keep the Orca I'd rather be a whale than a duck or a penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on. Dump the stupid whale logo. How did we get the worst logo in the league? Really....look at all the NHL logos and show me one that is worse. There isn't one. Go with Johnny Canuck...now that is a Canuck. Since we're in a rebuild...lets include the logo and refresh the uniform. The colors are beautiful...keep those.

As I've said many, many, many times, over and over again - it doesn't matter what the logo is there will be those that don't like it. I hate those two and love the Orca. The reason I love it is it's very Pacific Northwest, just like the jersey colors, and forms a C for Canucks. It's a perfect combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can guarantee there's a jersey thread at least every 6 months. Just leave the Jersey alone for awhile. I disagree, only in that Vancouver is consistent for changing jerseys, changing is kind of like our thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just perusing the posts and found a kindred spirit. At the time Orca Entertainment adding their logo seemed the ultimate vanity play. You don't see a Pizza replacing Detroit's wheel just because the owner has the little Ceaser Empire, or any other team defacing their jerseys out of some misplaced corporate ego trip. After all this time I'm used to it, but I haven't forgotten the roots. The Orca is here to stay...at least until the next owner decides to put his stamp on the franchise.

The only rumors are fan created. Nothing legit. All that's changing is the company making the jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
