randyc Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=653445I like the idea, but wearing the patch on the front of the jersey rathers than replacing a shoulder patch I don't like.If someone didn't already realize the Canucks played in Vancouver, you shold really know now as it'll say "Vancouver" two times on the front of the jersey.

goforbroke Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Not sure the history behind the Vancouver Millionaire name, but coming off a lockout, even the mention of players being millionaires seems in poor taste to the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not totally awake!The Millionaires Reebok jersey above is interesting. Seems like it would be something the Canucks would wear for a Heritage Classic-type game.First time I've seen any pictures of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Canucks posted some more pics of the photoshoot of Kesler in the Millionaires jersey and other Millionaires gear. Awesome looking uniform in my opinion, just needs a matching brown helmet with it.http://www.fortnucks.com/post/42029010296/kesler-millionaires-1-p-m-tuesday-january-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'd do a white patch with blue letters.This one's a bit out of the blue, since we've never seen any rumblings of it here. Does any NHL team have to submit whatever uniforms they plan to wear during the regular season before actually being allowed to play in them? (Or was that the NFL or something?)I recall that the Leafs once wore the Ballard designs during warmups for some reason.The shells for the pants look too shiny. Kinda like the shorts boxers wear in bouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I hope that because they made an edge version of it means we'll be seeing it soonI really think they'll end up eating these. Not only did they make an EDGE version, they also made socks and pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 My guess is they will wear them March 16th vs the Red Wings as the last paragraph mentions that game as when the Millionaires will be honoured "in-game."EDIT - Canucks twitter says they'll be worn later this season, so there we go.

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Not sure the history behind the Vancouver Millionaire name, but coming off a lockout, even the mention of players being millionaires seems in poor taste to the fans.Heh heh heh. I believe the origin of the name came from the fact that many of these guys had played earlier for the Renfrew Creamery Kings who were sarcastically dubbed "Millionaires" by the press in other cities because the owner (Ambrose O'Brien, a gent that had a reputation for having more money then he knew what to do with) signed a group of all star players to essentially buy himself a Stanley Cup championship in 1909/10 and 1910/11. (They failed)Most of the guys (Patrick brothers, Cyclone Taylor etc) came over from that team in 1911/12 to Vancouver. The Catch of the Day!

It's not so easy seeing Cups won in LA, Boston and Chicago, so the only remnants of any title the Canucks can look is in the very distant past.*tries to give Vancouver fans a hug of sympathy* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey week Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The use of the silver stitching in the patch, a logo which is otherwise clearly one-color, makes me wonder if there aren't further plans for this logo somewhere. Could we see this look incorporated into the Canucks full-time look?Rink-in-stick goes primary, V goes secondary, orca goes away? Would Johnny Canuck stick around?Could we see a blue (or better, green) and white version of that jersey?Too many questions yet. This one-off thing isn't done much, and Vancouver has been allowed to do it once already. Makes me wonder if it's really market research for future ideas. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GO2HELL Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I just hope they wear this at least one or twice a season like the devils and not adopt it full time. It'll get really stale really fast if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
