UKNuck96 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I’m fine with the change. The vertical striping jarred against the horizontal striped, pick one direction and stick to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halloween, Christmas, St. Patties and so on. They'd sell, just wear the damn things during the game. Who is this St Patricia? Patrick comes from Pádraic/Padraig (potentially these are derived from Latin Patricus). Paddy is a derivative of this. Hence why depending on its use the Irish have been referred to as Paddy’s and why a lot of Irish view American Irish as plastic paddy’s. Patty is a derivative of Patricia or a slab of ground meat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_theRyper Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 The fact that there is more than two jerseys and matching gear just seems unbelievably wasteful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brilac Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I liked the stripes on the pants. I never looked at their pants until now and didn't even notice stripes on pants and no stripes on pants. But I like stripes. By comparing the two, the stripes give a vintage look. Really, they should wear those 1994 uniforms more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psharpe07 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Having watched the preseason games I agree it was the right call to remove it. Looks a little less busy and the vertical stripes do jar against the horizontal in my opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current color scheme isn't great and the Orca is terrible, not only is it silly looking it makes no sense Orca's are found everywhere there is an Ocean, has nothing to do with Vancouver 90% of the planet is water. True Story: Many years ago on the way home from work I heard about Gordie Howe being at a charity golf event in Tsawwassen on the radio - late one afternoon and rushed home to grab what ever hockey "stuff" I could quickly find for him to sign and then rushed right back out the door and rushed out to Tsawwasen. This included a couple of newer Gordie Howe cards and our white Canucks jersey. When we got the the golf course, we immediatly spotted him walking near the club house and got a good 5 minutes alone with him where we posed with him for pictures holding his book and where he signed two of his hockey cards and then the canucks jersey on the back side. Before doing so, He took at the logo on the front of our jersey and asked Quote: "What kind of fish that was on the jersey?" We said an Orca, which he quickly responded back with QUOTE " No real hockey team puts a whale on their Jersey" I'll remember that for the rest of my days.

Gurn Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I hope to always be more concerned with the abilities of the players, than what they are wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas I have enough mental bandwidth to be able to watch a game and tell which team is which based on what they are wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
