However, the corporate orca, the Vancouver wording, and the cartoonish stick and rink logos have to go, period. Orcas do represent the West Coast, but the name of our team is Canucks. That means having the classic stick and rink logo on the front, or even better, the Johnny Canuck lumberjack. That's what our team named after and the city of Vancouver was built on the lumber industry. Why settle for second best when the logos aren't even third best? The colours and the stripes are great.

What for? Once the jerseys were presented, they were going to be public domain in a matter of minutes as it was... I'm also a little shocked that one couldn't pick up a new jersey onsite. I guess fear of the logo leaking trumped a fantastic marketing drive. A waiver? What for?

Perhaps some of the VIP's had to sign something but certainly not the masses. I thought the event was sold out too but a coworker checked the Ticketmaster site last week and we were able to get tickets...I didn't even think to try since I had heard it was sold out...good thing he tried. It was an interesting event but I probably won't go out of my way for it again (presumably when they come out with the third jersey)....I do wish I had brought my zoom lens though...could have had much better shots.

That can't be right, could it? Not if 8000 people were there. Thanks for the post - I heard about it too late and the event was sold out. I think the "new" logo is pretty "meh" myself.

They are adding a retro stick logo patch to the shoulder of the jersey though.

Isn't this the same logo they had a few years ago? Please enlighten me. I don’t understand. Isn’t this the same logo they had a few years ago? Please enlighten me.
