Gothamite Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I love the blue and green color scheme, so I'm partial to the original set and the current one. I don't mind the Orca crest, but hate that they slapped "VANCOUVER" above it.Replace the orca with Johnny Canuck (not the decapitated version), and it's a near-perfect scheme for Vancouver.

Sport Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I don't know why this guy isn't their logoIf they took the current set, removed the arching Vancouver, made their striping consistent throughout the uniform, and replaced the whale this Johnny then it would be one of the best sets in the league. Also, their number font needs work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'd be willing to overlook all the other stuff if they moved the Orca to the shoulders and put him on the chests. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc51design Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Current colors with skating Johhny Canuck logo , and Johhny Canuck in V being secondary, that would be my pick for future. lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I think the Canucks need to pick something and stick with it for a long time. They don't have an identity right now. So the question is, would the skating Johnny logo have staying power? Or would people tire of it quickly? I know nothing about that logo and am sure I'd never have seen it if not for these boards--is it official or just designed here? Either way, I just think it may get outdated in a hurry. And they need to establish something for the long haul. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

While I appreciate the historical nod, I think it's possible that putting Johnny on the jersey for an overhaul of the primary sooner rather than later. But that's just my gut and I don't really know.

AndrewG70 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I hate to say it, given how much I (1) like throwback uniforms and (2) like almost all the Canucks' previous looks (including the huge "V" jerseys), but I think their best look is the one they currently have. People may knock their current crest as having too much of a corporate tie-in (Orca Bay Sports & Entertainment), but it's the logo that most represents the City of Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. Same with the colors of blue and green -- much more representative than black, gold and red/orange or navy blue, maroon and silver. And the arched "Vancouver" pays homage to the old-time jerseys pictured earlier in this thread. Keep the modern stick-in-rink and Johnny Canuck "V" as alternate logos, but I say keep the current look.

SilverNRed Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Pure Awesome.I love those uniforms. Nice simple design with a cool color scheme.That said, I give the edge to their current uniforms. We already have a red, black, and yellow team in Calgary, so the blue and green is a good look there. Not a huge fan of the logo or the huge "VANCOUVER" they threw above it, but overall it's their best look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian_Idiot Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I'm not a fan of the canucks by any measure of the word. But i can say your organization finally did something right by going back to Blue, White, and Green. They look friggin' classic, and it pains me to see the Canucks looking good when i hate them so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I like the 90's jerseys the best. I'd love to see those colours with the full Johnny Canuck logo and possibly some red/black/yellow plaid on the alt.
