johnnygriswold Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'll never understand the appeal of that logo or Johnny Canuck. I guess I'm just anti-cartoon logos.

IceCap Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Well for one it references the team name, while none of their past logos (a stick and rink, a skate, and an orca) have. That's always a plus. It also has history on its side. It was the logo was for the Vancouver Canucks hockey club years before they joined the NHL.

oddball Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What blows my mind is I just saw in the concept thread, someone do a Chicago Bulls logo redo and uniforms and talked about the Bulls logo looking dated. Yet, for whatever reason, this dated logo is praised. It's not a great logo, it's not horrible. If I was to give a grade on 1-10 point scale with 10 being best, it's about a 5. What's worse is the "bodiless" version of this logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 For the record, I'm still convinced that the Giants (WHL) were selling retro-style ringer shirts with a variant of this logo (possibly even the original Canucks lumberjack logo) as recently as two years ago. I remember seeing them in the merch shop before a playoff game against the Bruins.Perhaps one of the Vancouver kids on the boards, who have likely been to a lot more Giants games than I have, can confirm.

AsM29 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I was hoping you would do this. Thanks!I was planning on asking you when I sent it, but completely spaced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Color-corrected in all his glory...I love this. If they slap it on both sweaters then it will automatically become the best primary logo in Canucks history, though that's not saying much. It's not perfect, but this is to me the best way to represent something as intangible as a "Canuck".The easiest way to make it better would be to put some royal blue accents in the toque so it matches the pants and the head doesn't appear so flat.

BBTV Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The Canucks should just change their sweaters to green, with sublimated blue suspenders. No logo required. Blue pants with blue socks. You don't need a logo if you become the logo. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

You don't need a logo if you become the logo.The funniest part of this to me is that, were the Canucks to do this, it would not be the most ridiculous uniform decision they've ever made.Your response implies that such a uniform would be somewhat ridiculous, just not the most ridiculous ever. I don't think it would be ridiculous at all. A green sweater with a pair of wide blue vertical stripes outlined in white on the front and back over blue pants could be an excellent and distinctive uniform. Certainly no more ridiculous than horizontal black-red-white barber pole stripes or any other distinctive NHL jersey pattern. Take this idea a tiny step away from the notion of literal or sublimated suspenders and it's pure uniform design gold.Then again, I'm a fan of both the orca C and the Johnny Canuck head-in-a-V logo, so what do I know?

steve61 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'll never understand the appeal of that logo or Johnny Canuck. I guess I'm just anti-cartoon logos.Agreed as far as this being their replacement primary. I'm also not sold on a cartoon lumberjack on skates being used for a pro team's regular jersey. Maybe it would grow on me. As a secondary logo (or third jersey), I think it's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyvoodoo Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 The one thing that bugs me about this logo, is they missed a perfect opportunity to sneak in something unique. The tape on his stick should be inverted creating a V. Maybe that's just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsox Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm pretty sure the reason everyone thinks that logo is so great is because a lot of success has come with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
