Likely the all of the above, but considering the amount of habs fans out here, maybe it works? Mods: Can we please have a 'puke' emoji? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to be Spanish or French to paint in a cubist style? If I make tacos for dinner have I done something wrong? I don’t know where the line is anymore. The line is right there next to stupidity, sadly some people try to split hairs and end up looking stupid when, at the end of the day it's a sport logo.. don't like it, don't look at it.. no one is FORCING ANYONE to look at it. Really don't like it? go cheer for someone else.. Edited December 19, 2020 by iceman64 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckGAME Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Orca, stick in rink, or skate. No other options should be on the table. Johnny canuck is a shoulder patch AT MOST. Or a 3rd jersey logo. Nobody besides a small minority of old foggies want to see a cartoon character as our logo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS is strong but right to the point, the only thing standing between us and death for every last one of us is time, is nit picking a goalie mask and a sports team really worth the time spent on it? If our lives are reduced to that, we might want to rethink that just a bittttt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanleysteamersmyl Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) I say we draft and use the photo of Ocra Wiesblatt on the Canuck jersey. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/232706/orca-wiesblatt His brother Ozzy Wiesblatt was drafted in the 2020 NHL draft - 1st round by the San Jose Sharks. His other brothers are named Oasiz and Ocean. All raised by a hearing impaired single mother. Ocean Wiesblatt was the one who was arrested at the Calgary outdoor rink. https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/justice-professor-says-calgary-man-used-bad-judgement-during-rink-arrest-1.5239513 Edited December 21, 2020 by stanleysteamersmyl edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told CTV News he is not offended by the logo because in his opinion, there was no intent by the Canucks to be offensive. “Is racism an issue? Absolutely. Is it something we should work together to eradicate? Absolutely. But am I troubled by the Canucks logo? No way, nope, no way,” said Chief Kelly.' So why is this an issue? It's an issue because a white guy took a potential job from a First Nations individual and the optics look bad because of colonialism. It's one of those, "Oh man, another white guy stealing from the Indigenous again?!" moments. People just be looking to be offended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vancouverbucsfan Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Mission accomplished! Buy the way all you orca logo lovers if you google search the southern resident killer whales that reside off of our coast the whale is currently on the US endangered species list! Will be proudly wearing this as an alternate third jersey when the pandemic ends and we can finally start going to Canucks games once again! Me being a long time 11 game yearly ice pack holder of the team will be wearing this at Rogers Arena and around town and I'm quite sure I'll get a lot of positive comments regarding the jersey! Being a 'retro' jersey it'd have made sense had they gone with this look as something different and that would sell well. Later haters!

Don't comprehend the 'beer league' theory behind your thinking?!?! Or it is too cartoon looking perhaps? The Penguins and the Ducks ones are just as cartoonish and the Islanders had a fisherman on their jersey at one time. Having worn it while out grocery shopping at the Burnaby Cotsco yesterday I had a lot of folks compliment me on the jersey saying they despised the 'regional orca whale logo" and thought this had been a good idea had the team done something different like a Johnny Canuck jersey. Being a 'retro' jersey this is what they should have considered. The retro they did with the orca makes it look like a sprite can jersey! Putting a Johnny Canuck logo on it had made more sense but seeing Aquaman loves his whale logo nothing is gonna change anytime soon. As well the southern resident killer whale is on the US endangered species list and can possibly become extinct one day soon.
