Orca is the longest running logo, and its here to stay
The current logo doesn’t have the Vancouver across the top
They need a brand-new logo. Hire whoever did the Wild’s logo and go back to the black color scheme
Is this real because I do not remember that WCE stick in the rink.
I have never considered the Flying V as a logo. Just stripping in a weird place lol
From a design perspective, the stick in rink is the cleanest and it isn’t even close.
Interesting that the arched Vancouver work mark has its roots in the 1952-70 logo!
Might be a hot take, but I always loved the Johnny V shoulder patch from the old 3rd jersey we had. I think it could’ve worked as our full time home jersey if we went that route instead of the orca + Vancouver arch. A white version would’ve been sharp, although probably would’ve been rangers-esque with green in place of red.
Also slight off topic/jersey concept idea here, but take the 1989 black skate jersey with the v’s on the shoulders, and swap out the skate in favour of the indigenous reconciliation orca variant. There you have a home run alternate jersey, and just take my fucking money. Imo the Indigenous orca is *dramatically* superior to the traditional orca. I would love to see it adopted full time either in 94 colours or blue and green.
WCE stick in rink actually would have been sweet as a primary logo.
I don’t think there’s a sports team in the world that has gone through as many significant rebrands as the Canucks. Seeing it all laid out here is bananas.
Not shown: 2013-Present, the I want to die orca
Flying Skate > Stick in Ring (OG) > Current Orca
Stick in rink logo. With spaghetti colours. On the black red orange jersey would look absolutely so fucking sick as a modern jersey.
Flying V is still the one I will die on a hill for.
Why? I wore it as a kid growing up in the early 1980s. I even have it in some school photos. It’s the greatest design in sports history.
I’d be interested to see an new logo for the Canucks in the future that have nothing to do with the V, the orca, the stick, or Johnny Canuck. Not to say they are all bad, but I want to see what other logos could be expanded from the word CANUCK.
Johnny 1 is nicer. The current one looks too cartoony
I want Skate with Johnny V on the shoulders
Flying skate is the best by far… Loved those colours
The skate is one of the best logos in all sports.
#ORCA BOY WHERES ORCA BOY
Flying skate is easily the best.
We have the only logo with a rink in it!
I think the west coast express orca is so much better with that red trim and vibrant colour scheme!
The second row needs its respect because at least for the most part it kept trying something new.
The bottom row gave up and just kept mining history and an aging logo because of a misguided understanding of brand history. I wish they would use the Flying V “logo” as a jumping off point for a new image and stick to the ‘V’ as part of our team image. It seems like a natural evolution of progress and would be really fresh on the eyes moving forward.
