I want the Petey with the C. It’s what I crave.
I think the blue and green works the best for the province. However, love the black, red, and yellow as a third jersey. Not a big fan of the orca however, in the minority that liked the 2020 stick in the rink – wish they put a white skate logo on the shoulders of that jersey
I much prefer the black skate in the photo you posted to the one that actually came out this year. As much as I love the black skate I agree with the other posters – these work better as a full time third.
I guess I’m a minority. I love the Orca and I liked it a lot more when they rid of the “Vancouver” from the old jerseys and made the logo bigger.
Personally I think the skate fits very well as a third jersey and I hope we get an away variant.
I don’t. I love it as a third jersey, but I feel like as the primary it would stop feeling particularly special.
I’m in the minority in that I’ve always liked the Orca though. I just feel like ‘Canucks’ is kind of a generic nickname, and the Orca gives the team’s branding a bit of extra dimension, and ties it to the province more specifically.
I also remember when people were demanding that the stick in rink jerseys become the primary (circa 2006/07), and the ‘skate’ jerseys were kind of mocked. This stuff is all cyclical, and has more to do with nostalgia and the appeal of ‘vintage’ looks, than any objective appeal of the designs.
Honestly, I’ve really liked the « VANCOUVER » over the orca with the blue and green colours. That just fits the culture in general.
And as a GenXer who grew up with the team from the early 1980s on, the « skate » reminds me just a little too much of the bad Canucks teams of the 1980s. I say if we do the red/black/yellow, let’s go all out and go back to the flying V, because that was the first one where we felt really special (1982 finals).
No blue and green is mostly unique to Pacific Northwest.
I don’t know if I like the orca, or just the aboriginal art design. But either way, skate holds nostalgia for me as a kid in 94, but I think orca it’s distinctly canucks and too iconic at this point.
No.
I like the blue/green. For me the flying skate should be our 3rd jersey
I’ve always loved the Orca, it’s just iconic for the Canucks at this point. I agree with some other posters however, this is an EXCELLENT third jersey.
Absolutely
Absolutely not. I am already sick of that colour scheme. But as a third jersey, it would be/is sick
No 💙💚
Absolutely not. It’s a great logo but with a awful colour combination. Blue & green works better, represents the province better. Keep it as a third jersey instead
I like it as an alternate. The Canucks are in the unique position of having two very different color schemes and 3-4 logos that are instantly recognizable. I get the criticism that they’ve gone through too many logo attempts, but as others have said some combinations of logos and colors have a local flavor and others are clean, high-contrast looks (and retro; yellows and reds are very 70s-80s).
That’s a really great situation to be in. They can switch back and forth for variety, and for ~~selling jerseys~~ retro fun.
Oh, and the RR/Johnny Hockey, now Abby, logo is pretty great too.
I like the blue,green,white, and orca which represents our provinde
Blue and green all the way 💙💚
No… need to maintain consistency with the main set and we’re ONLY at 15 years with the blue and green.
I hope the team rotates their alternates every few years to reflect the diverse uniform history of the club… maybe an updated V jersey will be the next alternate?
Two feet in or two feet out. These colours clash against the blue/green/white arena colours and the maroon seating.
This team needs to commit to a colour scheme and just go with it, whatever that means.
I like the Orca a lot more than the skate, but I don’t mind the red/black/yellow colour scheme.
I love it as a third
Has a team ever tried see through? Mesh tanks would be 🔥/s
I grew up with the black/red/yellow and the skate but it feels like that should stay in the past outside of retro or 3rd jersey nights.
I just want them to stop freakin’ changing it! Leave it with something and never change it again. Pick one. Either the one we have now, or skate/plate of spaghetti. Just please don’t pick yellow V or yucky purple orca.
I’d rather we stick to blue and green, and the Orca because that’s the Canucks branding I grew up with. I think it fits well with the Vancouver and BC theme.
Flying Skate should be a third jersey thing. Although, my idea was what if the Flying Skate is the home jersey, and we use a white away for the Stink in the Rink in the white/blue/green?
Orca is all I’ve known as a fan, I don’t know how y’all dealt with the changes back then
No! But with the re-design as a third, I’m okay with that. I grew up with the skate in the 80s and 90s and thought it looked stupid. With that said I like the re-design a lot better, just the subtle changes make it better.
The team was mediocre at best and the only reason people are connected to it is because of the 94 run such the team snuck into the playoffs and went on a magical run. The Sedin era produced 2 presidents trophies and by far the most success the franchise has ever seen, but gets over shadowed.
I mean, I hope at least sooner people have figured out that the whole color scheme same jersey design changes over the past 20 years have been all about targeting specific demographics (besides the obvious « the more versions we put out, the more we sell », see warm-up jerseys).
Which demographic? The one that can afford going to hockey games and buy all that merchandise plus that *exclusive* jersey. Or two. Or three. A year.
The switch back to green and blue was about hitting that nostalgia switch in the boomer brain that was around in the 70s for the OG expansion years.
Now that the baby boomers are declining in numbers, we see them teasing the return of the skate and the black-red-gold color scheme. Clearly targeting most of the Gen-Xers: 43+ on top of their earning potential. A full switch to that color scheme in a year or two would not surprise me in the least. Add to that the V as an alternate, and there you go.
Give it another ten years and watch the 97 orca color scheme come back once millennials can afford full Canucks fandom on a permanent basis (assuming we’ll ever pay off our student debt).
Personally, can’t wait for to be 2001 alternate to be reissued. The recent blue-green version doesn’t really count. But that’s just my opinion.
I’d be down and Johny Canuck as our second would be cool . The orca as a third, change the vibe of the tram would be cool.
With how often we wear our 3rds at home does it really matter?
I’m a half season ticket holder this year and I have only seen our primary jerseys twice. Every other game has been either the reverse retro or the skate.
Vancouver is one of the only teams in North American sports with a *classic* blue/green scheme. I love the uniqueness of it; green in sports is too underutilized!
