Popular Post djheer Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hey Canucks Fans! I started a petition on Saturday for the Canucks to wear the black skate jerseys for the qualifying round and the playoffs as their home jerseys. The petition has over 400 signatures and has gained alot of momentum on social media. Patrick Johnston also wrote an article about my petition as well and he mentioned a team representative said that the Canucks had already sent in their playoff jersey selection months ago and that the Arizona Coyotes submitted the Kachina jerseys for the playoffs back in January. With this petition I'm hoping we can convince the Canucks that they should go back to the league and try to see if we could replace the blue home Orca jerseys with the black skate jerseys that most of us love.

-AJ- Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The Skate jerseys are pretty, but I'd rather have them as specialty jerseys or maybe 3rd/4th jerseys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Fight the power! These are beauty sweaters and they’re Petey’s favorites. Might as try to make him feel as good and confident as he can be for play-ins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Have to admit Horvat looks like a boss in the above picture. Agree with Biestra above ... Kevin Bieksa wanted to wear it but those guys were turned down ... glad at least we got to see them again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgo Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Horrible idea. The Skate is a special event jersey to celebrate the 50th anniversary and it should remain as such. Our colours are Blue, Green and White. Not Black, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and White... A unified identity is better than a completely mismatched one, regardless of anybodies personal uniform preference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget orange and purple...too bad that’s all the skate jersey means to you, missed some great hockey. We aren’t the only team to have a wide selection, it’s part of our past - just like at some point I’m sure the current one will be too.

I appreciate that time period but I also appreciate the run in 2011 and think that Blue, Green and White not only looks better but represents Vancouver & the rest of British Columbia in a more effective way. It was also our first colour scheme. More than anything though, I don't think our home and road jerseys should be mismatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why the orca, that came after, was corporate and ushered in the Messier era, the worst logo of all logos in the history of logos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orca has nothing to do with Messier. It was finalized before he ever signed and it's been changed since. I call it the Sedin-era logo. Quote The worst logo of all logos in the history of logos.

Are hockey logo's are "corporate logos". Hockey is a business after all. The orca also saw the WCE era and the Sedinery era. Two of the best era's in team history setting a team sellout streak record, plus players shattering individual franchise records. Try looking at the positives. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d prefer the Flying V non logo uniform to the orca, I have been a fan since day one and the orca represents nothing I love about my team, it’s a horrible, horrible logo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at any other NHL logo, it represents the team name and/or hockey, ours represents neither, I stand by worst logo of all logos in the history of logos, I hate it that much. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most historical, winning-est team in the league represents their team name-sake in the EXACT same manner. 'C' for Canucks, 'C' for Canadiens. Ours is actually better because it also represents our region by including an animal native to it in an art style exclusive to the West Coast. Management has no plans of getting rid of it anytime soon so if you hate it that much, maybe you should consider cheering for a different team. Orca forever, Johnny never. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
