  1. Besides coming up with a big league professional name instead of a singular Tier II name, I do hope the team uses "Salt Lake City" instead of the state identity. The team can be referenced to as SLC in short. Leave Utah for the Jazz and a future NFL team
  2. Salt Lake Eagles in tribute to the old CHL Salt Lake Golden Eagles. Dark green at home and yellow-gold on the road. Use a swooping golden eagle as the main crest.
  3. Morgan, we disagreed constantly over the years but this time, I fully agree with you 1000%.
  4. I'm damned. Very sorry but that was a HORRIBLE font.
  5. 110% agree. What I truly hated was the high-schoolish black monochrome look with no striping on the helmets. The '78-'89 set was the Lions' best-ever uniform; What the Lions should be using today going forward:
  6. The Kings only ripped off the Raiders. Their first NHL season was the NBA Lakers' first season in purple(Forum blue) and yellow-gold after years of wearing double blue and white.
  7. If the Kings keep the black and silver full-time, they should just use the classic jeweled crown on its own on the same current 3rd and matching black. Use the Chevy shield as the official team logo but the jeweled crown as the sweater crest. Use purple and yellow-gold as a 3rd.
  8. I hope the Lions go with a true pro look. No more monochrome black unis; bring back helmet striping with matching striping on the pants; much prefer orange as the primary dark colour.
  9. Based on the success of their 2 Reverse Retro uniforms, it would make the most sense to go back to the purple(Forum Blue) and yellow-gold with white as the light base. The classic jeweled crown by itself and updated would make the most sense, no matter what colour scheme.
  10. I love the Predators home yellow-gold uniforms. Much unlike that nauseating Dijon mustard they wore in the mid 2000's. Yellow and yellow-gold(Athletic gold) should be used as a light base like white. I agree, I was ever was a fan of yellow vs white in any sport...hockey, basketball, soccer. However, with the right colour scheme including a complementary dark colour like black, navy blue, forest green, burgundy and purple, yellow as a light primary can look amazing. Loved the Canucks-Flames uniform matchups at the Pacific Coliseum during the 80's. Like the Bulls-Lakers matchups in LA. Even black vs yellow looks awesome.
  11. It was actually the second season of the Canucks' home white Skate uniform. There was nothing wrong with yellow-gold as the home uniform. Added variety to light-coloured uniforms and created colour vs colour. The problems were the V yokes, the thick striping, how the Skate logo itself was screwed up by having a yellow background behind the yellow CANUCKS wordmark and by missing one of the white streaking lines and most of all, the constant losing. The updated Skate with the vibrant yellow and red and with more black and no white would look gorgeous on the new shade of yellow.
  12. Actually, the Orca Bay navy blue was indeed a dark navy/midnight blue....like the Seattle Kraken and Chicago Bears. The navy Johnny Canuck Reverse Retro was a vibrant navy like the 2000's Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Cowboys. I have both a #19 Naslund Orca jersey and two JC RR jerseys. The difference is definitely there regardless of the overall colour schemes.
  13. Good gawd, no. In fact, the Orca Bay uniforms were a dark navy blue, like the Seattle Kraken's. Remember those beautiful Johnny Canuck Reverse Retros from last season? That was a pure and vibrant navy blue. Like the Dallas Cowboys' shade. That's the navy blue I was referring to.
  14. Disagree on all counts except for keeping the blue and green. Nothing wrong with having a secondary colour scheme for a 3rd. The reality is, is that the Canucks are a 2-colour scheme franchise, like it or not. As for the font, the Canucks always have used the legible and timeless Athletic block font since their pre-NHL days in the Pacific Coast/Western League days prior to the Reebok rebrand in '07. The Agency font is cheap and weak and has no place on a professional sports uniform.
