Confirmed with Link: Canucks reveal Reverse Retro 2.0 Jersey (Post #105)

[The Stig]

The source is a very reliable one on twitter.





Appears to be the 1962 jersey in somewhat more current colours.


I was hoping for a flying V but I still like it. Thoughts?

If it’s true, I like that we are FINALLY paying homage to the old WHL Canucks. But it would have been even better to use their old colour scheme, which I believe was more of a royal blue.

But still - these are pretty solid. Interested to see if it’s true, and how they look in action.

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

I don’t care about the Johnny Canuck logo, but I am very happy at first glance with these as compared to the Pepsico Sprite monstrosities.

 

[LordBacon]

Meh.
Spaghetti jersey is the best for me.
Just needs a better Logo.

I agree. Even if it was a reimagined orca C, reimagined by a first nations artist. That with the black/red/yellow/white would be the best thing ever

What Chase Gray did was brilliant, and the colour palette being both traditional Coast Salish/Musqueam and totally in line with the flying skate is so great.

I think the logo would need a little retouching, simpler is better and although the subtle second whale in the bottom of Chase’s design is neat, something more in line with the current style would suit the rebrand better imo

What would be very exciting too would be to add authentic salish details to the entire design of the jersey as well. Instead of usual trim do a blanket weaving pattern, add subtle crescents and trigons to the structure of the jersey

Its “okay”
Nothing really stands out, i dono..
The logo looks improved tho

IMO that logo looks better on a white jersey

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

The logo just looks a little too small in a sea of blue. Overall the jersey is a bit meh, but whatever.

 

[Joe Rogan]

Should have done a blue/green flying V. This is boring and uninspired

 

[Josepho]

i get that it's cool to honour the original team but these suck ass man

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Yea.

Doesn't really do anything for me.

Bring the flying skate as the third jersey.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Bring the flying skate as the third jersey.

There’s been a lot of rumors that this is exactly what’s going to happen next year. The modified stick and rink jersey being retired as the 3rd and the skate taking its place.

The Reverse Retros are a league wide initiative that they appear to be committing to multiple variants of.

The Jersey

If it’s true, I like that we are FINALLY paying homage to the old WHL Canucks.

They have been since the insane decision to put a giant, unstylized wordmark over the logo in 2007?

In any event, these jerseys are boring, but they prove once more that green goes much better with navy blue than royal blue, and the Canucks need green in their logo to even approach normalcy.

Awesome, the flying skate was my childhood visual of the Canucks. I’ll grab that tshirt no problem.

I don’t think the “VANCOUVER” wordmark was inspired by the WHL team at all. I think that was someone in marketing feeling like the orca logo didn’t shout the location enough and slapped the name of the city on as an afterthought.

IMO.

I don't know if it's been recorded very well, but they actually said it was at the time. I think the video announcing the change made a point to show both too – it's a pretty clear homage and explains why they didn't even make the slightest attempt to make it look good:

 

[Breakers]

The white stripes are way too thick and it makes it look terrible.

They are so overpowering in the overall design.

 

[MS]

The Johnny Canuck logo is a terrible dated cartoon and I don't understand why it isn't left in photos from the 1950s where it belongs.

 

[wonton15]

Sorry but this is ugly. Should’ve done the flying V.

 

[kaiser matias]

The jersey itself reminds me of the later Whalers colours.

 

[JUMBOcanuck]

That might be the worst looking Canucks jersey I've ever seen, and they've had some bad ones.

 

[Seattle Totems]

If ugly is the issue the flying V is sideways at best.
