NorthWestNuck Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 The more I see the retro jersey, the more I find myself liking them. Can’t wait to add one to my collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C for Canucks just as the SiR is a C for Canucks. Lame excuses are just lame captain straw clutcher. Lame, lame, lame, and more lame. i suppose that it is also lame that the founders of the vancouver canucks designed a version of johnny canuck the way they saw it. that is the history that is relevant. admittedly, they probably went for a walk around the water front and saw killer pods of intrepid orcas floating in the bay but they didn't think it important enough to put an orca crest on the jersey. i suppose you will now give another lecture on orca pods 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia , Alaska, and then Russia! Your post also states Pacific Northwest where we are! Sorry dude but your post made me laugh how it's supposed to be "anti-orca" and yet you've proven the opposite. lol there's lots of racoons . . . why don't we have a racoon logo? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of this is it doesn't matter how many there are. They are there and are one of the main attractions of the pacific northwest. You don't have to agree with it. It doesn't change that as fact though. And I'm sure some junior team out there are called the Racoons.

Here's what I've found: 4 hours ago, debluvscanucks said: He first appeared in early political cartoons dating to 1869 where he was portrayed as a younger cousin of the United States' Uncle Sam and Britain's John Bull. Dressed as a habitant, farmer, logger, rancher or soldier, he was characterized as wholesome and simple-minded and was often depicted resisting the bullying of John Bull or Uncle Sam zoinks! vancouver canucks were formed in the 20th century. the founders designed a skating lumberjack for the logo. you can conjecture the rest all you want 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpappy Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Baggins said: It doesn't change the relationship and history of the Orca with Vancouver or that it's a very good logo. Creating lame excuses to dislike it won't change anything. As with anything people either like it or they don't. It's our longest running primary logo so none of the lame excuses matters to those that like it. What it really comes down to is this - you didn't get what YOU wanted. Welcome to life. But as I said, no matter what the primary is there will be those that don't like it and didn't get what they want. Which is why changing the primary logo is completely pointless. You simply cannot please everybody. Particularly when you have the radically different logo history we do. maybe you should have a rest, you sound exasperated 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little was known about their nature at the time. But it was right here in Vancouver that their true nature was discovered and it changed the world view of Orca's. Btw, the founders didn't use the JC logo from inception. That came much later. The original uniform simply had Canucks on it curved in the same way Vancouver was curved above the Orca logo. Perhaps that actual original is the best way to snuff all the logo dramatics. Simply don't have one like the Rangers. A lecture on reality is much better than Trumpian style nonsense lectures. 50 minutes ago, granpappy said: maybe you should have a rest, you sound exasperated I believe it's Tiger Hearted that needs the rest.
