kiwi_canadian Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yes the Canucks would be wearing black, red and yellow today if they'd won the cup in 1994.Proof, please.Second that. Again, the change was to make money and looking back I think Orca Bay had a bit of say in the logo and colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Black red and yellow was the most bad ass combination, but blue and green represents the city the best. The Orca colours were such a mess, but I loved the jerseys because thats when I became a fan. Looking back at them though... I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

Mr. Krabs Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I remember hearing something about a new jersey needing to stay the same for two or three years before any changes can be made to them. Maybe that's why Tampa's jerseys this year won't have the victory stripes. I hope though for their fans' sake that the classic uniform from their 2004 Stanley Cup win will be brought back eventually. Honestly, what was so wrong with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Bunky Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 A little off topic, but I just saw another Burger King jersey sell for about 500 dollars. ... the moral of the story children? Buy that ugly ass jersey, because there's a good chance it will go up in value by 150-200% in 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 why does everyone think winning a cup in a uniform makes it untouchable?It's about legacy. A fan should be able to look at a picture of their team winning the Cup from years past and be able to identify the uniforms being worn as being from the same aesthetic "tradition" of the uniforms currently being worn. This doesn't mean "Stanley Cup win = untouchable uniforms" but it does mean that teams ought to try to and look like they were at their best. the pens won back to back cups in athletic gold. the stars won the cup in green. the bolts won the cup in black. the avs got reeboked too. and that's all just recent history.does anyone really think that if the canucks had won the cup in 1994, they'd still be dressed up like germany? or the sabres in black and red if they'd won in 1999? or better yet, the ducks in eggplant and jade if they'd beat the devils?All of these are examples of what happened or what could have happened, not what should have happened. The Penguins did change after back to back Cup wins, but in my opinion they shouldn't have.

There's something about the identity of your team when they have success that almost feels sacred. It's such an annoyance for me when I see teams winning cups in uniforms that look completely different to what they end up wearing years later. Especially colours! I can live with a change in logo (provided its not too drastic) but the colours really should be the same, forever. I love the Canucks but I hate what they've done with their identity over the years. In fact as much as I was cheering for them to win the cup in 2011, part of me didn't like the idea of them potentially lifting the cup in those 'VANCOUVER' jerseys. To me that look will not last, nor the logo either probably. Bring back the rink and stick 40th anniversary jerseys! I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

I tried to rationalize the pros of the Canucks' primary uniforms. Ie. the colours and the Stick 'n Rink shoulder patch. However, I just couldn't stomach the thought of seeing the Canucks win the Cup with the orca logo. I still prefer the skating Johnny Canuck logo as the primary identity of the club but I also love the 40th anniversary uniforms. The only changes I would make to the 40th anniversary jerseys is add green accents to the numbers(Watch the football scene in the new Dark Knight movie. The opposing team has the number design and colours the Canucks should have) and I would add Johnny on the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just weird/unique jerseys that came out of nowhere, compared to the Islanders taking a bunch of parts from other jerseys and meshing it together.EDIT: But a Thrashers jersey might be worth something someday because they're not a team anymore.

Keep in mind that Wildwing and Burger King both only stayed around for about half a season, and during that period, only replicas were produced for retail - no authentics were mass-produced for fans.

Sodboy13 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yeah, it appears their authentics are all from the 2010-11 crop or earlier.

nash61 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Got my Hockey News Yearbook today, and each team profile features a secondary logo (see Panthers, far right) However, Toronto and Detroit were a bit different.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
