PetterssonOrPeterson Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 how about we just stick to an identity for once. i hated the orca at first (because of orca bay) but i can manage now. the colours, blue, green and white are a perfect representation of the Pacific Northwest and specifically Vancouver. 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-Hearted Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Go with updated version of the Johnny Canuck Reverse Retros full-time with navy blue as the primary dark colour and use the updated Skate as the 3rd. Ditch the cheap Agency font and go back to the traditional and much nicer-looking Athletic block font. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 33 seasons with everything else we got to the final once. Let's go back to the winner. I think you mean two time loser. But the '82 run was actually the Flying V monstrosity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flying V still had the flying skate as the team logo and it was on the arms. Losing isn't getting to the Stanley Cup final. Losing is what we have been doing for the last few years.

McBackup Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) If they go back to the skate full time within a decade all the trendhopping smoothbrains will be just insisting we change again to whatever is fashionable at the time.

McBackup Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I just looked through the trademark database and they also filed one for the reverse retro Johnny Canuck on the same day, and the Abbotsford Canucks the prior week, so it likely has more to do with crossing their t's and dotting their i's legally than indicating an actual permanent change going forward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgo Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The Canucks should do one of two things... 1: Leave the primary jerseys unchanged and stick with something for once. Or... 2: Replace the Orca with Borovich's original Stick and Rink and switch out Agency for a bloc-font. Put the Orca, the "VC" patch or one of the simpler Johnny Canuck logos on the shoulders. Two things that should absolutely never change again are the current colours and the current striping configuration. Nobody liked the way 2011 ended but it was still the best team in Canucks history and we should never deviate too far from what we wore then. I want to see us redeem the awful way that season ended by winning a championship in Blue, White and Green. If we switch back to Black, Yellow and Red at this point, we will forever be known as the team that can't decide on an identity. The mistakes of our 27 year identity crisis were finally rectified in 2007. We don't need to repeat them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mistakes of our 27 year identity crisis were finally rectified in 2007. We don't need to repeat them. I also don’t understand why this team is typecast as having an “identity crisis”. It doesn’t. They’ve worn the blue and green for the majority of their history at this point, nearly going on 20 years consecutively now, and the orca for nearly 30. They’ve had a couple deviations but seems like they’ve corrected back to their ‘true’ look. It’s no different than the Kings, or Sabres or Astros or Nuggets or several other teams who nobody says has an identity crisis. I’m not a fan of the Orca, but the Canucks have never had a truly good logo either, so now that the script is gone I’ve made peace with it. Everything else about the uniform is stellar. The only things I’d change (outside the template issues like the collar) is putting stripes back on the pants and changing the number font. 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. This logo was never good in my opinion. People were fed up with it when we had it in the 90s as well. Black just looks sleek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white orca. Not the blue one. I still think the white one on both white and blues would look pretty good. I guess they want the whale to pop on the whites but I think it would look pretty clean with a white orca on it. Anyone willing to photoshop it on the white jerseys? Anyways it would also make sense for Rogers Arena to have the white home orca. The blue is for the away jersey. Doesn't make much sense to have it at center ice at home.

Doesn't make much sense to have it at center ice at home. The logo is the same and used interchangeably depending on the background it's used for. It makes complete sense for it to alternate for colour balance and clarity depending on which application its being used for, just like Tampa, Toronto, Calgary, St. Louis, Washington and the Rangers Edited March 4, 2023 by McBackup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canuck #12 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I guess no one else remembers how the original skate logo was at times ridiculed in the local media for being drawn as plummeting downhill. Something about how that was symbolic of Canucks history, and maybe a bad omen as well. That interpretation left me hoping that they would redesign it to actually be pointing upward one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its trendy though. The people insisting we switch to it will insist we switch to something else when that becomes trendy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
