New Canucks uniforms
- Thread starter dcbogey
- Start date
As a Canuck fan... they are just brutal.
Someone was probably paid thousand of dollars to come up with the "brilliant and creative" idea of putting both the ex-Orca whale and the hockey stick on the same jersey while adding Vancouver. Absolutely brilliant... why didn't I think of that?
Hopefully the new owners will be in place soon... after the court judgement against the Aquilini family and the new people can actually bring some fresh ideas.

Total crap! Well not total, i love the colours of the old style jersey but hate the orca "C" always have always will and adding the word VANCOUVER over it is just plain ugly. Not many will be lining up to buy those im guessing

Well, it's better than the skate and the flying-V

They could be pink and made from velour. Or velveteen. They could have the drape of Luciano Pavarotti's dressing gown or Mama Cass's mumu. They could have puffy sleeves like Seinfeld's shirt, or puffy pants like Ronald McDonald's or fit like Toller Cranston's costumes.
The numbers could be in braille and the logo something bizarre and indecipherable like, say, an orange flying-V. The sweaters might be accessorized by a shawl or long pants like the Philadelphia Flyers wore in the 1980s. There could be elbow patches or, worse, tassels.
The colour could be washed out like white asparagus and, like the vegetable, make your urine smell. Worse than it already did.
The Vancouver Canucks' new uniforms could be any of these things and if the National Hockey League team won a Stanley Cup in them, our city would happily become the worst-dressed on the planet.
Who among you hockey fans would not trade cool clothes for one measly Stanley Cup parade?

They'll look splendid if the Canucks start the season 5-0. And if they start 0-5, Karl Lagerfeld couldn't help them.
"Ultimately, when you look around at league-wide jersey sales," Linden said, "it's who has won a lot that [determines] which ones are successful."
Bieksa said: "I'm not surprised by the interest but I am happy about it. We were talking about that in the dressing room before we went out, that only in Canada would 6,000 people come to watch a sweater launch. Everyone will debate the jersey and what they like and what they don't like."
Complaints will continue even after it starts soaring off store shelves in two weeks.

All of the teams are getting redesigned uniforms this year in the switch to the new Reebok jerseys, the tighter ones that they had for the all star game last year, A few other teams have already introduced theirs. The biggest problem I have with these is the whole Vancouver across the fron, it just looks dumbvivalapanocha said:
I don't mind it, but the "Vancouver" on the home jersey is a bit redundant. Obviously the home fans will know the Canucks represent Vancouver.
Like I said, I don't mind it, but given some of the nice, streamlining they've done on some of the other logos, I would've thought they could do something nicer than the current logos.

I like 'em. especially the form fitting style.
And considering that the 'National' Hockey League is an American League, I also think that it is necessary to have Vancouver on the jersey because not to many Americans know that Vancouver is a city in Canada... let alone can they find America on a map.

I dont think that these new jerseys will last long. A lot of players hate them. They say its too tight and some say too hot.(even though its supposed to reduce that)
Yes they do! for the many fans watching on Versus, FSN, OLN, NBC or whatever the hell the NHL contracts with. lolBlahBlah said:
