SabreFaninNYC Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Like I said for the Ottawa ones, they're OK but I'm not a huge fan of them either. A lot of these jerseys are looking like practice jerseys to me, not actual on ice jerseys. I think I am just going to cry for a bit in my old school (i.e., last year) jerseys and forget that this jersey roll out ever happened.

lafountain Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 August 29: Vancouver September 4: Calgary, Montreal September 5: Pittsburgh September 7: Minnesota September 13: Atlanta, Toronto September 14: Dallas, Chicago September 15: Phoenix, St Louis September 16: Philadelphia, Carolina, Edmonton More updates. This leaves Anaheim, Buffalo, Colorado, and New Jersey as the only teams without dates or who have not already unveiled theirs. I would imagine that Anaheim and Buffalo would be very minimal changes, and New Jersey has supposedly stated that their jersey will not have any changes at all except to fit the new design.

shandy_man Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 man I wish they'd show their new uni's now...I'm tired of waiting haha...I just hope I don't have to add some ugly blues jersey to the collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafountain Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Pictures of the Canucks jersey. Actually a very nice look for it, I like this one quite a bit. The only thing I don't like about this at all is the word Vancouver across the top of the Crest. The last two are screen caps from the online stream of the unveiling.

cgy_sabresfan Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 RBK obviously did not ban horizontal stripes for teams that aren't original 6 because the new Canucks jerseys have some. Overall, however, I don't like what they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabinsurance Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I like the idea of having the city name on the front of the jersey. They have every reason to be proud of Vancouver. It's a beautiful city, and they have supported the franchise well. especially the last few years. I like it. A good blend of old and new.

JustAnothaVictim Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Ugh! I don't like it. I don't like the colors and I don't like the word Vancouver on the jersey. It looks like a cheap Made in Korea fake. They should punish the designer of that jersey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtucker Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 VANCOUVER on the front.....??........where did that come from? Has there been teams in the past with the city name AND the logo on the jersey? . I only remember pittsburgh with the letters across the front, "Rangers style" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomZoom18 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I like em! I'm with the majority in not liking the wordmark on the front, but the Canucks did a good job with this one! I'm applauding this style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm applauding this style. It reminds me of the Sabres jersey, love the colors and striping but hate the logo (in this case the wording). Some basic rules for hockey jerseys: 1) Have a logo or have the city name on front but not both. 2) Too much negative space is a bad thing. 3) Never change a logo into a cartoon character.

lafountain Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 The Captain's C is too close to the wordmark, more proof that the wordmark should go away on the Canucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomZoom18 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 That wordmark is a negative, I hope they remove it in all honesty. This is probably the first new jersey I could actually see myself buying someday. It still looks like a regular hockey jersey to me and even retains their history with the stick and rink logo and colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 VANCOUVER on the front.....??........where did that come from? According to the official site's splash intro, the word on front is from the Vancouver Millionaires and WHL Vancouver Canucks. I can not find any evidence of this anywhere. I know the Millionaires wore a jersey with block V logo that had the word Vancouver spelled out inside it. I did find a picture from the WHL days. They had CANUCKS written across the front, though, not VANCOUVER. But I'll take their word on their explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still looks like a regular hockey jersey to me and even retains their history with the stick and rink logo and colors. For some reason, I like these. I hate the whale, I always have, but it's clean-looking on these. I don't have a problem with VANCOUVER on front, but I don't think it was necessary to shove that down our throats. The shoulder logos look modernized. I see Orca leaping out of the water on the white jersey's logo and out of the ice on the blue jersey's logo. I do like that they made an attempt to hybrid the team's history into the new ones, even if that means the skate logo gets now representation. Of all the new jerseys so far, I put this one toward the top. I'll probably buy a blue one someday, just because I like how the logo shows up on there better.

Brilliant! Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 See, if that VANCOUVER wasn't at the top of the chest, I'd agree with you 100%. It's a sharp looking jersey and probably the best looking so far. I read somewhere that it's a call back to the Vancouver Millionaires. I don't know what that jersey looked like but evidently that's where the VANCOUVER part came from. And it does look like the rink and stick logo got tweeked but in a good way. The colors are so much better now than that red and dark blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomZoom18 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I was never a big fan of the whale, but it looks good on this jersey. I like the hybridization of Vancouver hockey history on this. They really shocked me on this one, it keeps the old style jerseys but modernizes them in a good way.

Brilliant! Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 It's funny because I think I'm the only person around here that I know who actually likes the orca logo. I think it's a good connection with the whole Pacific Northwest theme...kinda like when the Coyotes had the Picasso jerseys. However, I wasn't too crazy about the colors when the jerseys initially came out. They were a little too dark but when they started to get tweaked a little bit in the early 2000's, I started to dig it a lot more(They did lighten it didn't they? My colorblindness really blows). I'm starting to think I'll pick one of these new ones up actually. The more I see it, the more I like it. I just wish the same could be said for more of the new jerseys...
