Their best idea out of a bad bunch. The one great thing about the V logo is precisely because you can't decide if its a logo or a background design. a logo and jersey in one! Brilliant! Never been done before as far as I know. Waaaaaaaaaaay ahead of its time though for many to appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waaaaaaaaaaay ahead of its time though for many to appreciate. I don't know about that. There's two ways of being "different" and new. One is being cutting edge and revolutionary and makes you go , and the other is... The V is more of the latter IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many more years until it gets called the plate of spaghetti again. Rather have plate of spaghetti than a constipating whale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind the recent first nation rendition of it however. What logo was that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'm personally tired of all the 90s hype these days. Every team and their mother has reverted back to their 90s jerseys. It's fun for a quick look back, but a permanent change is not something I'm interested in. I love the Orca design and mostly love that we have an actual stable identity. Changing main logos would just be going back to the eternally undecided identity-less franchise. Well I rather not have a constipating corporate orca logo. What does the orca have anything to do with the Canucks name?? Nothing at all. It's like the Panthers team having a logo of the rat on their jersey or logo of a palm tree. It doesn't make sense and makes the organization look like a Mickey mouse operation. Logos should be linked to their name or closely represent it while our logo fails at that. Also going back to the skate logo doesn't mean we keep changing logos. It just means we corrected a mistake. The orca should never have been out logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the orca inhabits the waters of Vancouver so it's not completely random or unrelated to the region. the flying skate jersey makes me think we play for team germany. The skate jersey represents the fact that we are a hockey team and as Canadians or Canucks we love hockey and it has the Canucks name incorporated. What does an Orca have anything to do with being a Canadian?? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditch the cheap Agency font and go back to the traditional and much nicer-looking Athletic block font. No thanks. Rather not have another new logo. Either go back to skate jersey or stick with the current one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two times to Stanley cup finals. Didn't know loser teams go to finals, you must win the conference to get there.

Are we still representing the Orca sports and Entertainment?? Is John McCaw still the owner? So why keep it? There is no real good story of how they made that logo except for the fact that it represents a corporation and you think we should cling on the worst logo we have ever had in our history because you are too scared to change back or you think there is some identity crises if we correct the mistake and actually go back to the original logo. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because some morons in the local media back in the 90s called it plate of spaghetti, now everyone thinks it's a mess lol. It's way more realistic and simpler than a constipating orca breaking through the ice to represent the name, Canucks. The current logo is the definition of a mess since it wants to represent everything at the same time, hockey, orca, native artist, colors of the city etc yet it is completely disconnected to the name Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orca bay was mostly coincidence also reflective of the area like the Canucks logo. Blaming "corporate logo" is a lazy cop out. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a terrible logo in my opinion but hey, it has saved me a ton of $ NOT buying Canucks orca styled merchandise for over 2 decades...
