M4One Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 If the Canucks leaked RR is true, I might be tempted to pick one up. It looks fantastic. Hope they don't ruin it by putting the numbers on the front. The modern version of Johnny Canuck looks better, but going with the classic version makes sense considering the program. Also, considering the Canucks didn't reverse their retros twice now, as well as a few other teams the first time around, and with the rumoured Expos inspired Canadiens RR, the program really should have been called Retro Remixed. Small nitpick, I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much like what the Dallas Stars had when they had their original Reebok Edge uniforms. What the Canucks should have done was either put the Skating Johnny Canuck on the front of a V logo or relegate JC to the shoulders but go back to the original '45-'46 block V with a Millionaires-stylized CANUCKS inside the V. Overall, the Canucks are finally embracing their WHL heritage with JC on the front in bold navy blue and kelly green colours. This is wonderful to see. Also, the first tie-down collar used by the NHL Canucks. This jersey will be a red-hot seller. What exactly does basketball designed sweaters mean? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at most basketball jerseys, NBA, NCAA and high school and then look at the WHL Canucks ' mid to late 60's jerseys and as the Dallas Stars' original Rebook Edge jerseys. Look at the similarities.

Also, can't really tell but looks like it might actually be vintage white/cream stripes.. Intentional or not - am I the one who sees Johnny's pants looking a bit like snow-covered mountain peaks? Interesting design if that is indeed what they were going for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Icethetics is reporting that the Devils will be going with a white Kansas City Scouts-inspired look for their RR. They mention it could be the Scouts jersey in Devils colours, or maybe the Devils logo will get the KC colour treatment. My guess would be the top design but with the Devils primary logo. I'm sure they want to avoid any potential controversy that might come with bringing using Indigenous imagery as a logo. I know it's an actual statue, but I'd think they would just play it safe. And I don't know how Devils fans would feel about their logo in Rangers colours. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like it'd connect with the NJ fanbase more than a recolored KC Scouts jersey. And I believe we heard the Avs are going red-yellow-blue RR, so if that's the case, then it definitely wouldn't be the bottom one. Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

I would think putting a New Jersey abbreviation alongside a Kansas City landmark would be a no-go. 5 Quote The (unofficial) NHL Uniform DatabaseThe WHA Uniform Database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Maybe it's just the lighting in the photo, but getting vibes of the last Whalers colour scheme prior to relocation from that rumoured Canucks RR. It's fine, as a design but Johnny isn't my favoured crest. At least it isn't another gradient jersey. Make it a green primary with blue and white stripes though!

It seems like they're never happy with what they have, and no matter what the current look they just want some sort of throwback. It seemed like the switch back to royal & green 15 years ago was a unanimous hit, but all of a sudden in the last few years people want to bring back the skate logo full time. On twitter I've even started seeing some replies hoping for a return to the West Coast Express era colour scheme. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
