The original and current blue and green are Vancouver colors but the Flying V and Skate colors have a Vancouver flavour to them, ie. BC sunset yellow-gold and Canadian red. Love both colour schemes.

I think what bugs me about the lower part is that it looks like he's running on his skates. Totally unnatural skating pose. Works as a children's cartoon, but not as a crest. This would make a great third jersey, at the very least. But my vote is still: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I sure hope the third jersey reflects the current colour scheme.. Maybe invert some of the current colours and add the Johnny Canuck patch and you have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedlee Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Lets just change the name to Vancouver Smoke Eaters and be done with it. Logo is a forest fire fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I hope my beloved Canucks stay away from that awful hipster logger cartoon dude logo. But, that's what you do to me don't you dear Canucks?... you break my heart and still you're my favorite gurl So I know you will, get it out of your system. Make it fast. I'll hold my breath.

The Canucks' origins started with Johnny Canuck in the Pacific Coast/Western Hockey League. Logging has been a historic industry in our province and it built the City of Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Get real. Trendy, liberal-hipster Vancover’s Johnny Canuck should reflect the modern city-lumberman, well, the lumbersexual... Squeezing every fashion cliche into an image/costume while removing any ounce of masculin integrity from the look that once was reserved for men who actually worked outside, in the bush, doing man stuff... so not JC. Maybe just stick with the whale instead until this man-costume passes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dangerous blade should have a protective cover, and the axe handle better not be from old-growth forest. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried wearing skinny jeans in my later years working in the bush. my corduroy bell-bottoms kept getting caught on broken branches, causing me to face plant , so I had to duct tape them around my ankiles, defeating the fashion point - and wasting a lot of duct tape. but then with the skinny jeans my boots would get filled with duff....so I had to give up working in the bush. No worries - I doubt the axe handle is old growth. my guess would be photoshopped synthetic... whereas a 'real man' would use hickory. nice fashion choice on the double bit though.

Maybe just stick with the whale instead until this man-costume passes. The Canuck brass at the time should have gone with Brent Lynch's, (who designed our present logo) earlier proposal for the Canucks: He even incorporated the horizontal stick as a homage to the old stick n rink jersey, while 'maturing' the Johnny Canuck cartoon. I think this logo would have silenced a lot of logo whiners to this day. If done up in blue and green, and of course without the "Giants". How many Giants fans do you hear criticizing their logo? which was gifted to them after the Canucks dismissed it in favour of the orca. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick in the rink is not historical to some extent since we've been using it for so long. Other wise another stick in the rink what difference is that from our previous 3rd jerseys just recently?

vancouverbucsfan Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 @Baggins okay yes we get it. You are not a fan of Johnny Canuck. I wouldn't mind if it was an alternate third jersey next season for like 10 games a year. I wore the one in my profile photo seeing the Canucks in Las Vegas last March. I had so many other teams fans come up to me saying how much they liked the logo and jersey.Many had never seen or heard of it and I had to explain to them it was an alternate logo of our beloved Canucks. Personally the orca represents our ugly past with the Messier and Keenan days and it looks like a constipated orca. It has nothing to do with the teams name or logo or history. I wouldn't mind the stick in rink as the primary and Johnny Canuck as an alternate third all on a blue jersey though instead of the green one pictured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
