Ridleylash Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Yeah, the first year the Nordiques just carried over their jerseys from the WHA, that's why the logo looks so weird; the one we're familiar with wasn't on the jersey until the second year of the team's NHL tenure.

M4One Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 If I was a Lightning fan and wanted the throwback, the white thread around the collar would eat away at me. Why does it need to be like that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Black, yellow, and red have never felt right for the city of Vancouver or the Canucks and I say that as someone whose first experience with the Canucks was the 94 Finals run. Blue and green is perfect for them and the city and it's the only one of their many color schemes that feels correct. Also, the Orca is not good, but I prefer it to this "Generic Create-A-Team A" logo here 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFirestormToPurify Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Not many people seem to have noticed (or remember?) but the Canucks were actually black, yellow and reddish orange from '79 to 1991-92. They only changed to a true red in 1992-93 I get why the throwback uses red trim ('94 Cup Finals) but I wish they had used the orange version instead. It looked much better imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked much better imo I didn't mind the changing of the orange to red. The red gave that uniform more of a Canadian feel. Before '82, the Canucks' "red" was more of an actual red but an orangey-red. What I hated about the '92 update was the changing of the yellow-gold/Athletic gold to that eggnog yellow that one season before slightly deepening it the following year. I also disliked the removal of the yellow-gold and red trimming from around the legs of the pants. That was a unique feature and it looked great when the Canucks wore their blacks. Two of several screwups by CCM with the Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are these just "new" throwbacks they're making available for purchase? It’s more just a refresh of the existing Team Classics line; not sure what the future holds for it. It is, however, the first time we (that is, the identity design crew) have touched a project like this, so the art will be more accurate to the OGs than they have been in the past. 5 I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepis21 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I'm so suprised they put adidas logo on hem not on neck which is a nice touch. Btw do adidas use same factories as CCM to produce those retros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridleylash Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 LA really seems to love pushing the yellow and purple as of late, don't they? Their RR was that, their newest retro jersey is the yellow 60's look. The only major exception I can see is their new third, but from what I can tell the reception to that was pretty mixed compared to the unanimous praise the Reverse Retro got. I hope that's a prelude to them revamping their look, honestly. The current jerseys are stale and getting a fresh new look would be just what the team needs to usher in the new era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, blue and green is their best color scheme but the West Coast Express color scheme is definitely up there. If they went back to those minus the gradient alternate and with the modern stick-in-rink, they’d look amazing.

spartacat_12 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The amount of comments I've heard from casual uniform observers saying "why aren't the Canucks wearing these full time" shows just how much nostalgia clouds judgement. They literally made black their primary colour in the '70s because they wanted to look more "aggressive", and came up with a bizarre logo that's just a skate & the team name, but looks more like a planet or a plate of spaghetti. It also didn't help that Calgary added black in the '90s, so they had the same colours, albeit arranged differently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
