Patchey13 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 With the announcement of the Canucks AHL team moving to Abbotsford, I worked on this concept last night. I always loved the name of the Jr. B team, the Pilots so I leaned into that because of the famous Johnny Canuck Pilot concept that's been around the internet forever.

jbird669 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Oh wow, that's cool! Honors the parent club with the color choice, but unique in it's own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnage84 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I hadn't heard about this but this is a fantastic concept. My only concern is that it seems to be connected to the Jets although the colour scheme says otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I have to agree that this is an incredible concept, but it does feel a little bit more like a Jets farm team than a Canucks farm team. Maybe removing the little jet all together and just having a standalone 'A' would work better? Or reworking it to be centered on a more humanoid pilot instead of a plane itself? I'm not sure how to rework this, but it does feel a little too Jets-y as-is. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I would go with "Abbotsford Aviators" because of Abbotsford's longstanding aviation programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoCubsGo Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Personally, I would lean more on a fighter pilot logo just to differ the team from the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgco Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The logo is really nice, and I appreciate the promotion of an existing brand! For that reason, the Jets similarities don't bother me so much. I don't know if my ideas would actually improve the logo, but I'd be curious to see versions with a slightly bigger plane AND/OR the right leg of the A paralleling the angle of the wingspan AND/OR the "highlight" of the plane always in the jersey's base color. I only say that last one because, at home, the A has no green touching white but the plane does (same for blue & green on the away) The jerseys are solid; the number font is very appropriate for the concept overall. I'd love to see if you could integrate the team's current reticle logo as a patch for one shoulder and the main wordmark into the identity (maybe on the helmets?) Anyways, despite my nitpicking, it's a nicely done concept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
