Time to bring back the "Flying Skate"?

[discordant concord]

I find our post 2007 colour scheme is the least intimidating look in the league. The colours work really well and represent our city and province. However, I think it's time for a change.

As a city Vancouver is changing rapidly. However, unfortunately, we are forgetting are past. From the 60s-90s we were thought of as a kind of rough, rugged and wild Pac-NW.

Red, yellow and black contrast nicely to our natural surroundings.

Remember these beautiful trains and buses:

Nope. How about the team just starts to build some identity instead rather than constantly changing it.

That is our identity. We are changing, evolving, while simultaneously reflecting on our past.


At the very least we should consider a modernized version of that jersey.

and bring these as 3rd.

I'd be ok with adopting the 40 anniversary stick and rink as our 1st and using the flying skate as our third. However, I really dislike the current jersey's. They just are so dull and blah. They look like we are trying to be the seahawks or something.

Stick and rink ain't bad though

I'm okay going back to an old logo, either stick-in-rink or spaghetti plate. Just no new logo.

How about both?

Some would say it's kind of odd to have colours that contrast so much, but I think it would work. Our city is modern, clean and beautiful. However, it also has its rough spots and industry. The green and blue represent the natural environment, while the orange and red represent the built environment.

In 2017 I think they are adopting new adidas jerseys league wide. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Green and blue version of the skate. Easy.

Black yellow red is deadly color combo

Interesting idea. On paper I prefer it to the current jerseys.

This is the thinking that created the flying V...

We had a huge jersey debate last year or so

Orca is very marketable and isn't that bad
See no reason to get rid of it
I find the stick and rink as the perfect patch, but I wouldn't be opposed to it being split like how it is now

 

[The Stig]

Nah. We've finally had the same colors for almost a decade....stick with em. THAT being said...I am all for having throwback jerseys throughout the year. NFL does it. NBA does it. Just have a few throwbacks throughout the season. Fans will like it.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks really tacky?

Nope. I think it looks just awful too.

the modern version of the stick-in-rink logo with the horizontal stripes on the jersey/pants is the best design the organization has come up with

if they want to start using the waffle logo, then switch to the stick-in-rink as a primary logo and ditch the corporate orca which still gives me painful flashbacks of the messier-keenan-mccaw era when it was introduced as an extension of the orca bay brand

 

[Bgav]

bring them back full time for sure

 

[JagdFlanker]

the only change we need is to get rid of that stupid 'Vancouver' wordmark over the orca. the Canucks are in Vancouver? really? when did they move there?

don't mind spaghetti skate per se, but it's still 3rd to the stick'n'rink and orca

That is how it should be done, rarity of use is a good way to make the old ones special and it sell tons more jerseys by getting people to double and triple up.

1. Stick and rink (<- added eye optional)
2. Spaghetti (original colours - looks weird in blue and green)
3. Burgundy Vs

Thrash the orca piece of crap.

Why do Nucks fans like the 'stick in rink logo? It's lame and too simple. They just like whales logos? It looks like a cartoonish whale almost.

At least, the skate logo had something going on and fits in with the other Western Canadian teams'.
