The Johnny Canuck logo is perfect…for the AHL. It’s a minor league logo for a minor league team. Always has been.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Those are all disgusting

 

[rypper]

Someone post the logo that actually ripped from a restaurant in Victoria lol.

I really like this Flying V concept in blue and green. Some minor tweaks like font of the letters/numbers and this jersey would be so sick.

I just know I’m gonna get shat on for this Lmao

actually, that's way better than the orange, yellow and black version.

 

[Coffees]

Jerseys are fine as is in my opinion, would not mind if they went 94 retro either

 

[Sexy Necksy Garland]

I don't have strong uniform opinions for the Canucks except they endlessly disappoint me by trotting out the black "skate" over and over and over without ever giving us the white version.

Ive been fairly disappointed in the way they butchered the black jersey by “modernizing” it as well

I just did a side by side from pics. I don't care much about the added small black stripe between the red and yellow. The yellow is too f***ing bright though. And I definitely prefer the old numbers and letters with the double border.

Be ready to be disappointed because they’re trotting out the skate more than the regular jersey at home games this season.

Honestly I thought 2023-2024 already had crossed that threshold.

I’m going to be so angry all season.

 

[DFAC]

Im just glad they got rid of the "Vancouver" across the front of the jerseys

Felt to me a little like Warren having all of his clothing marked with his name. Iukuk

My thoughts:

-Will only hurt Silovs to rush him. He needs consistent AHL games to continue his progression. Not saying he can’t get called up for 10-15 but he needs to play and not get bounced around.

-same thoughts for Tolipilo. Let him develop in the AHL

-Paterra isn’t a proven NHL backup at all. He’s a good option and a solid AHL goalie. Not who you want to be your main backup.

-Canucks need a backup. Demko hasn’t played a full season since 2021 and isn’t getting younger. The goal should be for him for play 40-45 games and stay fresh. He’s had two seasons over 50 games.

-Canucks will surely go for it, they will deal picks I don’t like it but I know it’s bound to happen. Forbert is always injured as well, bring in someone other than Juuleen. They need a puck mover. My pick is Barrie. Can move the puck very well. Should be fine playing 30-40 games.

Completely unrelated but I chatted with Juulsen and his cute dog today briefly on the seawall. He said he had lunch at Cardero’s. This is my breaking news.

 

[David71]

trade for adam larsson. maybe a couple of picks+roster player for him. because they have way too many forwards. sorta like the zadorov deal. 4th and a 2nd.

What did the dog say?

Trouble is, almost every hockey fan in NA, has absolutely no idea what a 'Canuck' actually is. Who knows, maybe there a few people who don't know a whale from a minnow, and actually believe that the Canuck is just another name for an Orca, which can be found swimming around in the Pacific Ocean.

At least with the Johnny Canuck logo on the front of the uniform, people would know what a 'Canuck' actually is. So from that standpoint, their minor league team in Abbotsford has a leg up on the parent club.

The pattern in the stripes is horrendous.

Switch the orca logo for the modern stick in rink and leave the shoulders without a patch. Use the classic black skate as a 3rd for occasional use at home. Never make a change again.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

What did the dog say?

Roughly translated from the barking, I think it was “lol @Vector ’s gonna be so mad at the jerseys all year”.

For me the rank for jerseys/logos goes:

1)Orca: Was the logo when I first started watching the team and has been the team logo for half its existence. Keeps the blue and green colours and looks good with them now that the word art is gone. The Orca also fits a west coast/marine motif. I get the history of Orca Bay though and understand why the fans over 35-40 don’t like it.

2) Stick and Rink: Good classic look and a great jersey. Keeps the blue and green. My choice if we move away from the Orca.

3) Skate: Probably the coolest jerseys in our arsenal. I prefer them as a third though. Skate has no west coast connection. Also lose the blue and green which are a more unique colour set to black. Red and yellow are also Flames colours. I would love to see a white jersey someday though. Maybe next outdoor game.

4) Flying V: no explanation needed

5) Johnny Canuck. The V one works as a shoulder patch but the full logo does not work as a main logo. Cartoony and looks like a logo from EA create a team.

 

[credulous]

if they're going to drop the orca they should do a complete rebrand. the skate and the stick in rink are both terrible branding and should be left in the past

especially the black/red/yellow color scheme needs to be buried
