YEGCanuck Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I don't believe the Canucks use of an orca whale image is a cultural mis-appropriation. Use of the words "Eskimo", "Indian" and "Redskin" in a team name for many years is a whole different story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of kids like Johnny Canuck and quite a few of us adults too! I'd have lined up to have bought one of these had the team decided to do their retro ones in it. And please don't give me the BS it's too beer league looking, etc. Even if it is 10 games a season in it. The Ducks alternate one is just as bad as you hating on the Johnny one so why not? The islanders should have put the Captain highliner one on their retro jerseys too! What are half of these pictures supposed to mean? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pavelbure96 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 This cancel culture is a joke but if they're gonna change it we have a lot of logos to choose from. Our 94 Downhill skate should be our main jersey, I dont care if they are similar to Calgary's colors. Do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never liked the Flying V, never liked the downhill skate. (Despite my hatred for the jersey, I loved some of the players that played for them. Linden, Bure, Courtnall, McLean, etc.) No to Hallowe'en Colours. I'd rather have Johnny Canuck (Provided that doesn't offend lumberjacks), stick in rink, or Orca. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Roger Neilsons Towel Posted December 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2020 Canucks fans still can’t agree on what logo or colour scheme the team should go with. Comforting to know that some things in this world never change. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BlueDragon23 Posted December 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2020 Are you kidding me? Change the logo because one anal historian snowflake gets offended by the logo that isn’t remotely offensive at all? Sorry, but let the First Nations speak for themselves. This has never been a big issue before. It’s only now getting attention because of all the controversy of other logos being deemed “offensive” In recent years. People need to get a life or a hobby.

Devron Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Can’t honour people I guess. Scrap it and honour the skate. As long as whoever invented the skate approves? Sorry I can’t wrap my head around some of these things 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the black away jerseys of the early 90s. Blue/green/white on the other hand, don't. Why not navy blue, green and white? Same contrast as black, red and yellow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we just not refer to people without race, color or culture? Yeah from now on let’s refer to each other as muscle, sinew, fat with crazy looking eyeballs - skinless folks. If we all just had translucent skin then maybe the world would be a better place. Like no skin matters. Unfortunately then it would be about how much fat some folks have and gross flabby triceps. OR maybe the folks with wider gaps between their eyes and big chins and teeth the size of horses teeth would be minority prejudices. Humans as a species have a lot of growing up to do yet.

This old VCHC photo interested me very much, thank you. Trent Beatty played for the Prince George Mohawks (and was probably there the year they went all the way and won everything (and beat up everybody that stood in their way). That was a really, really, tough team that I am constantly reminded of every time I pull out the old Slapshot tape/DVD/download. Marty Howe on D. Maloney and Popein were really solid players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoKnows Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 2 hours ago, Jimmy McGill said: when you consider the word 'honouring' tho, it implies some level of respect. I'd think respect would include discussion if at all possible. Maybe using an image for a sports team isn't positive for the ones being used if its just been taken and used with no attempt at consultation. You really can't know until you've had a discussion with them about it, imo anyway. Imagine if Bettman chose the Canadian uniforms for the Olympics e.g. as part of the negotiation between the NHL and Olympic Committee (which isn't far fetched if they want to ad advertising, e.g.). Would we all be "honoured" at what Bettman came up with? What's more respectful then using it in a symbol cherished by the majority of the local population. Pro-sports teams bring the community together and using their art style is a compliment imo. It'd be different if they used this logo as a way to mock their culture but that's obviously not the case. I don't know if honoured is the right word but I won't be offended that Gary Bettman (an American) designed our jerseys. 53 minutes ago, YEGCanuck said: I don't believe the Canucks use of an orca whale image is a cultural mis-appropriation.

If the Canucks do end up addressing this issue than will the Seahawks be pressured to change? Also will the Atlanta Braves, Kansas City Chiefs, Chicago Blackhawks also rebrand? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
