I would be okay with these as the main jerseys. That is the most recent jersey I have, no whale jersey for me. Some might see that logo as cartoonish tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to old jerseys is okay I suppose like the skate, love that jersey. But johnny Canuck, not sure, would depend on the logo i guess, maybe they modify it a bit? Johnny Canuck with the blue and green I'm ok with. Just done with the orca. I'd love the 94 colors to come back though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might see that logo as cartoonish tho I have a "skate" BURE knockoff, which I don't wear much. I also have a few "orca" jerseys (BOURDON, D. SEDIN, BURROWS, HORVAT, VIRTANEN) and I have a "stick in rink" (NASLUND). I don't have the 3rd "stick in rink" jersey, but I think I want #40 in that. Ah geez, and the there's Hughes next year. Going to be expensive buying all of these new jerseys lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindiculous Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I'm just glad CDC doesn't have a say in the jersey design. Our logo would end up as Johnny Canuck juggling on a unicycle with skates on in a hockey rink. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Biestra Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We never should have changed jerseys at all in the 90s to signify the start of the Messier Era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the blue/green! Keep the killer whale! Totally agree! I think keep the orca idea with the native artwork style, maybe more minimalistic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginator Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Please God dont be the "Johnny Canuck" logo. Cringe. Keep the Orca! Love that logo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I would be fine if it's just a minor tweak like removing "Vancouver" on top of the Orca. but If we're keeping it, i hope they redesign it to make it look more intimidating and fierce kinda like what the Sharks did. Totally open to a Johnny Canuck logo too as long as it's not this one. Something like the Vancouver Giants logo would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ey40 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) On 12/26/2018 at 2:41 PM, Tiger-Hearted said: A logo is supposed to represent the team name, not the region. It was inspired by the Orca Bay ownership. In spite of the West Coast Express and Sedin eras, there has been terrible luck: 1. Ohlund's eye injury in practice. This injury hampered his offensive maximum potential. 2. Naslund breaking his leg in Buffalo in 2001 while enjoying a career year. Lost for the remainder of the season and playoffs. 3. Cloutier's 2002 gaffe vs Lidstrom in the playoffs. 4. Luongo's choke jobs and meltdowns in the playoffs. 5. Boeser crashing into the open side of the gateway to the Canucks' bench, therefore ending his season and costing him the club rookie records for goals and points and the likely, the Calder. How could you not include Salo’s nut in this list? Edited December 28, 2018 by ey40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be opposed to a JC as our 3rd jersey. Just not the running cartoon lumberjack version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 So this whale is a killer whale...logo doesnt represent that at all nor does has the team ever played like the big intimidating creature it is. Maybe they can do a complete redesign of the C shaped whale to make it more appealing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 On 12/26/2018 at 9:49 PM, -Vintage Canuck- said: If we are going to keep the Orca, I would like to see the "VANCOUVER" lettering removed and here is what it would look like: I don't mind the wordmark above the logo, but this looks much better. You don't see the stick and rink much around GM place these days, much more JC and Skate logos. I could see them changing out the shoulder logo for next year. I like our striping, I really hope they don't change that at all. I hope the alternate is green, much like the Comets alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komodo0921 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Still a fan of a Johnny Canuck logo. The blue and green represents our commitment to preserving our environment. Johnny is a fun, not too serious, tough looking character that, imo, is an accurate representation of what a BCer is. We are generally fun people that don't take life too seriously. When provoked, however, we can become quite abrasive, especially when defending our way of life and our identity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Not a fan of the whale's face. The swirl where the white oval is supposed to be and the chicklets for teeth. Should be a more fierce rendition of the killer whale IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 -A hipster looking logger over a Killer Whale? come on, the Orca is one of the coolest animals on the planet. Perfect for a west coast team. -Human Mascots are weird looking. Fin is a lot of fun, would hate to see him go. -The Giants logo looks like JC and is a lot cooler looking than the Main St. resident running in skates logo. -We have had too many changes. We have the most promising group of player in years. Don't mess with the mojo! no need to fix things that are not broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
