Except for the logo, that is one ugly jersey

Some fun facts interesting observations for the local Vancouver market/demographics since I've been a Nucks fan since birth.....

 

It's pretty funny that in decades past, they didn't give a DAMN about recognizing/celebrating Chinese New Year up until recent years.... somebody on the Mangement team found out "oh hey!! lots and lots of china people got $$$ to splash... let's use our warm-up jerseys to market our brand!!"  

 

Little do they know... people from China (in general) living here don't really give a F about this team/sport... they care more about flipping homes for $$$!!

 

And also in years past, we were so accustomed to the saying "kung hei fat choy".... and then slowy becoming a similar phrase that's harder to read/pronounce: "gong xi fa cai"??

 

Just pointing out the objective truth, that is all! the gradual cutlure shift is subtle but it does mean something....  ^^

It makes me sick they charge $688 dollars for a jersey. What a joke. In thought hockey was for everyone. Nope just people with money.

Didn't see this anywhere else so thought would post.  love the logo, understand why the colours are what they are but don't love the colours.

Agreed on colours but as you say that's the deal with these. Would be cool in a red/white/green dragon on black though!

Watching this clip of Canucks players walking to the arena, it was startling to note how many small bodies there are on this team........................................   Hope you're paying attention J.R.

They need some meat and taters in their system. Get on it chef!!!

To be fair I saw Costco selling bird nest soup for $50 ahead of Chinese new year, everyone just trying to get a piece of the action. Not too familiar with the traditions but im guessing a lot of money changes hands this time of year for the people of China.
