this is all subject to change, but no leaks or interesting info at this point.

These are my favourites. The lack of shoulder patches, the colour of the logo on the white background, and those awesome V shapes on the sleeves. Make an inverse for the home jerseys and that should be it.
Colour wise its not even close.
Blue and Green is running away with it on the poll.
so far no one likes the navy blue and red orca bay colours and the skate era colours has 1 vote.

by far my fav blue and green jerseys
Very well said!
The colours are what read as team identity, to me. The Canucks have had so many! But none say "west coast of Canada" like green, blue, and white. And after the relocation of the Hartford Whalers, it is a unique NHL colour set. It even harmonizes with the Seattle Seahawks, not that that matters apart from a certain regionalism.
After colour comes design. I think that they should stick to the current design, which is well thought-out with nods to various predecessors. The orca is an appropriate mascot, for the kids.
However, creativity and sales pressure will always drive logo innovation. I have no problem with different icons showing up on T-shirts and so on, why not?
Remember the salmon-coloured third jersey? Widely despised, but I kind of admired how it took the hellacious clash of the spaghetti/tube-skate logo colours and found a way to bury them in a magma-coloured bold monstrosity.
Probably. Given another five years or so, when the current logo reaches 20 years of use, it'll probably gain enough staying power. Maybe it'll be tweaked a bit. The Predators' visual identity is from the same era (the same year, in fact - 1997), and the logo, upon being simplified in recent years, works perfectly. I believe the Orca logo is in the same situation.
The stick and rink has a classic feel to it. The color scheme classy too. I'm not a fan of uniforms like the Preds mustard yellow. I'd prefer not to go back down that road.
The Flying V is a perfect example of what happens when Corporate bows to their external consultant, who in this case had a theory that yellow and red create fear in onlookers because of their association with emergency vehicles. What's really important is having a jersey that the player is proud to wear, and these were not it!!! Stan Smyl said he used to cringe before leaving the tunnel although by the way he played you'd never guess.
Best quote about the the Flying V jersey came from Tiger Williams...
"We play like clowns...now we look like clowns"
The conspiracy theorist in me wants to say that Trevor (having already said he's hoping to reintroduce the Skate jersey) is leaning towards the 1985 dark jersey and not the 1994 jersey. At all of these ceremonies, the '85 jersey is more prevalent.

They use the 85 jersey in some ceremonies because it corresponds to Linden and Bure's draft years. There is no chance that the Canucks bring them back.
The 94 uniforms were seen at the Heritage Classic. They may bring them back but I really hope they don't. There isn't nearly as much nostalgia for that uniform as there once was and the Canucks finally have a colour scheme that has critical mass after 4 decades. The Canucks need to move forward.
Blue and green are Canuck colours. They are here to stay.

Yeah, I think when Linden hinted that we might be seeing the Skate jersey pretty soon, that this is the one he's referencing. Pavel Bure wore it to all of his events, and he, Kirk and Trevor were sporting them last night.
