Johnny as the main would get lampooned by people, because it looks even more like a cartoon character then the Orca does. Exactly my opinion. I think people who don't think this are a bit delusional and nothing they say can change my mind on that. Also agree that JC on the chest looks a bit weak. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself.

MDGP Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Johnny Canuck as a logo would be fine if the current logo wasn’t so poorly done. The head doesn’t look like it has a mustache, it looks like some weird open grin, as though Johnny is some buff version of the little caesars logo. Then you’ve got the full body logo, which is just a mess. The head is in profile view and then just stuck onto a body that’s at a 3/4 view without any attempt to add any depth, creating perspective issues. The line weights are extremely disparate between the head and body. The head is made up of thick lines and shapes. Besides the gloves, Johnny’s upper body is made up of a thick and thin navy blue lines. Then there is the fact that the legs and skates have a ton of shading and highlights, while the rest of the logo has no shading or highlights, outside of, again, a small spot on the gloves. For me this isn’t even a “cartoony vs. professional” thing. This is just a poorly executed logo. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

I don't think the circumstance is all that different from the Browns' elf or the Notre Dame leprechaun, and nobody would advocate for those being front-and-center of their uniforms. Johnny Canuck's a great mascot. But it's not a visual to build your brand around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Johnny Canuck is a great alternate logo, but I wouldn't want it as the primary logo for Vancouver. Maybe it's just what I'm used to, but I like the orca logo. Also, unpopular opinion: the stick in rink logo makes the overrated logo hall of fame for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I love that they are a BC coast animal. Beautiful creatures. However, they don't show up in Vancouver's harbour and surrounding waters except for the odd pod. In fact, it's Vancouver's tourist industry that has marketed the orca as a Vancouver native animal. Literally yesterday in False Creek. About 1-2 km from Rogers Arena. https://twitter.com/DanBurritt/status/1138932844649111552 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, both Johnny designs fail to pass design scrutiny. I fully support a better Johnny Canuck design as the Canucks’ rightful logo. Also, to play devil’s advocate for a second, how popular is Johnny Canuck among fans? We too often get trapped in our little internet bubble, assuming things about treats that fans honestly don’t give a bleep about. Maybe the Orca and the SiR are more popular and a bigger hit with fans. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Harry Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The third jersey is soooo unbalanced. How do you not get some white trim in the stripes? The mostly white logo with only green stripes is just terrible execution. The rest are fine but the collars are still bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Regardless of logo preferences, I think we can all agree that removing the Vancouver script is a huge improvement. The third could really use some white stripes, but it's a bit more distinct from the home uniform this time so there's that I guess. The neo stick-in-rink was already an OK logo but these simple tweaks have made it much better. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Looking at the Canucks' twitter thread of the new uniforms. Is it me or does the green pop a little bit better now even though the design's the same on the home and aways? I think it's more of the lighting than anything else but it did look a little brighter. All in all solid, though they could've taken the time to fix the collar on the home and aways and not manage to make a new mistake on the collar for the throwbacks. Making the stick-in-rink third jersey a different design than the home works better, too.

bowld Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The third needs work. Why have a giant all white collar but then no white on the sleeves or body of the jersey? Looks off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Just a whole bunch of meh. That third is an incredible missed opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldconcepts Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I genuinely like the third jersey. The contrast of all green stripes on the hems and socks versus all white numbers will look great on the ice IMO. It’s something I remember trying in a concept a couple years ago that I really ended up liking.

Ridleylash Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 These are a definite improvement on the ones before, I'd agree. Just the removal of the useless arched "VANCOUVER" over the logo makes them look so much better, and I'm digging the mostly blue/green third. The collars are about as good as you can do with Adidas' template, unfortunately, but I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Third looks much better seen worn. Need to see the full uni on a player to make up my mind Also, numbers have dots in them to look like Rain fall (not joking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Not feeling the white shoulder patch on the white jersey. I think the blue stick-in-rink would have looked better on the white jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Well, guess I was wrong about them not unveiling them today. On the positive, the primary jerseys look better without the script, but that dumb logo is still around. As for the heritage jersey, I kinda like it, but it needs white on the stripes or green in the collar and numbers to balance it off. I prefer the new alternate logo over the old. The holes in the numbers is just stupid. With the collar, they should have done the same thing with the primary that they did with the heritage.

randyc Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I look at the third jersey and it looks like a Walmart knock off. It needs a white stripe between the green at the very least. The other thing that gets me is they said the new shoulder patch remains white on the away jersey to enforce a simplified identity. Yet, they still use two different primary logos that contrast with the jersey colour. So why not keep two versions of the stink-in-rink logo as well? I'm not overly pumped on the jerseys as a whole, but I am very glad that the Vancouver script is finally gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I was on the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League website earlier this week, as a handful of friends in New England have sons who were projected to potentially be selected in the 2019 QMJHL American Entry Draft. In any event, something occurred to me while while poking around the league website. In a league where many of the team logos tend towards overdone, "more-is-less" illustrations - detailed Viking ships, talon-bearing birds of prey, photorealistic torches, anatomically-correct moose and huskies, fanged ocean liners, stick-chomping tigers, and headdress-bedecked First Nations sachems - the primary mark of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada stood out for its straightforward, classic simplicity. Might this be the direction that the Vancouver Canucks should go in when designing a new primary logo? Rather than choose between a cartoon lumberjack, a Haida-influenced orca, or a stylized ice skate, opt instead to embrace a timeless and traditional mark with which to identify the franchise. Picture a large V with a banner/scroll stretched across its face, the word CANUCKS written in said containment shape. The logo could be that simple. If desired, some small device could be placed within the space between the V's two uprights - perhaps, 1970 to indicate the franchise's year of founding. But that's it. The idea would be to lean into a bold, clean look that would eschew trendiness and, as a result, stand the test of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLion Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 The stick in rink is an OK secondary logo but sucks hard as a main. Johnny Canuck wouldve been a better option for the 3rd jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
