Attila Umbrus Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 10 hours ago, Baggins said: It's still the Vancouver Canucks, not the BC Canucks. I lived in Cranbrook for several years and there's more Oiler and Flames fans there than Canuck fans. Likely because of proximity and access to games. So that point is rather irrelevant. The native style Orca represents very well where the team plays. The major reason I like it. Vancouver has quite a history with the Orca. True enough, but a lot of places I go in northern BC have great Canucks fans. Prince George, Smithers, Terrace, Williams Lake, Quesnel, Salmon Arm, Kamloops, on and on. The wife and I love doing road trips and checking out all the little corners of BC and we meet a lot of fellow die hard Canucks fans along the way. I would just a bit more provincial identity with the team. But you are right it is the Vancouver not BC Canucks. At least the blue and green matches the province well! In any case i'll be excited to see what the next wave of Canucks teams will look like. Whether they do a minor tweak or a full change over i'm looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Anyone else see this latest Canucks Instagram post about the jersey made with recycled material? Maybe it's just because it's underwater, but it looks to me like new colours that might match the black/white style of an actual orca. Is this possibly the first hint of what we will see with our new jerseys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm both glad and sad, as I kinda was hoping they might've been our new colours that would look good with the orca logo but also kinda want a new logo altogether.

HockeyHarry Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I love the blue white green ,so that’s all I need to be happy. But I wouldn’t mind if the Canucks added the players number into the logo. Just like the NBA warriors did. either using the stick logo or the orca logo.

Little bits (micro plastic) simply wash off in the laundry and end up in rivers, oceans and hence, marine life. It's not a solution. It's a (not very effective) band aid to an over reliance on plastics. Particularly of the single use variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHarry Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I say they should make the new Jersey’s outa recycled batteries...cuz it’s just the same stupid idea. except oilers jerseys ,they should be made outa old recycled diapers....just cuz it’s so fitting. It depends on McDavid for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I disagree - fundamentally - with the constant attempts to milk merchandise with new looks. Stop messing with identity - which is what sports franchises are abstracted upon. Take the 'real' franchises - Montreal, Boston, Detroit, etc - do they pull these kinds of marketing stunts? I think this is marketeers outsmarting themselves in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current sweater and logo is great imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i could choose between that logo and having to drag myself across the trans canada highway with Ryan Kesler and Roberto Luongo pulling me by my eyeballs attached to a 4 x 4 2006 manual geared truck that badly needs an oil change id still choose the truck and risk corneal distruction Appreciate your dislike, many feel the same thing about the Orca (especially those around when they crammed everything Orca down our throats when the new uniforms were introduced), and the votes so far have the stick in the rink ahead in the polls. Personally I’m fine with going back to the original WHL Canucks logo which probably should have been adopted into the first place. Eventually the Orca will poll better as new fans are created I suppose too, it’s unfortunate that the fan base is so divided but that comes with having four or five different brands if you include the original original. Glad to see they will play with the skate next year, that will be nostalgic. Experts have grown to like the C stick in rink over the years, and it does look better than the Orca ha ha...what would you do if they made it permanent for real? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer doesn’t really compare to North American sports though. Each team has one “main” kit, which is changed close to every year, and a “clash” kit that usually isn’t even in team colours for when their opponent’s uniforms are too similar. On top of that their jersey sponsors take centre stage on the shirt, whereas the crest is of secondary importance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
