Canucks Jersey's the day after
Ummmm so we have all slept on the new Canucks jersey and to be honest I thought I would wake up and like them a little bit more, that is until I got up and didn't.Then I saw this picture on the left here and I just started laughing.
To be completely honest I was hoping the Canucks would drop the whale. I didn't want the old logo in the centre but I do like it on the shoulders. I thought pretty much this uniform with a new logo and NO VANCOUVER across the top would have been pretty cool.
No matter what anyone says the VANCOUVER across the top is an attempt to cash in on the Olympics. The Canucks owners figure that of course Canucks fans will dish out bucks for the new merchandise, so why not capitalize on some people who will come here for the Olympics and clearly won't be buying any Olympic products with that stupid fucking Inuckshuk on it.
Hey they want people to know they were in Vancouver so lets splash VANCOUVER across the front of the jersey and make it look ridiculous, people from Norway will love it I am sure.
Some fucking dickhead (Earl Robert) wrote into 24 hours and said that he is glad VANCOUVER is across the front because "I can't keep track of how often I'm asked what team i was supporting while wearing my Canucks jersey in cities around the world."
Really you fucking dick head? Is that a major problem for you in life? Explaining why you are wearing a fucking Jersey with a whale on it must be tough eh? This fucking asshole should be happy that people even talk to him when he is on vacation.
You how Canadians love to bash Americans for being bad tourists? Well imagine this fucking guy in Spain wearing a fucking Canucks Jersey in the middle of summer and some hot girl in the smallest bathing suit you've ever seen walks up to him and he blows her off because because she is the 15th person in two days to ask him what his jersey is all about.
Hey fuckface they don't really care about your jersey, they're just wondering what kind of fucking idiot wears a Hockey jersey to the beach in Spain. And who the fuck says cities around the world anyways? As opposed to what cites around the fucking moon?
I also really hate the it's not the Jersey it's the team that's under it that that counts spin the organization and the media is taking. BULLSHIT! If that was true why even have a jersey? Why not just have a Blue shirt for home and a White shirt for away? "Oh once they have a ten game winning streak and everyone will love it." Shut up Perry Solkowski. If they got rid of the VANCOUVER people would love it.
It looks very amateur, it looks very budget and the bottom line not too many people are happy.

I, like you, was hoping that this new jersey would grow on me -- but no such luck. That friggin' whale makes me crazy. I think they kept it because they were too cheap to cough up the dough for a new mascott (PS-I hate "Fin" even more than I hate the whalte logo).
Now I actually don't really mind the Vancouver thing (though I wish it was a smaller font size). I do, however, agree that the "VANCOUVER" thing was all about making a few bucks from the Olympics. While that pisses me off, you can't really blame them. It's a business, and they'll make a killing selling those stupid jerseys in 2010.
Just be glad the new logo was a friggin' Inukshuk. Now THAT would have been embarassing.
Oddly the jersey has grown on me a little bit, but not enough to say that I now like it. The "VANCOUVER" is way too big and the whole thing just looks cluttered....hopefully it goes away as fast as the highliner logo did in New York, but when you think about it, we won't be rid of it until 2011
I think that the team should strike in protest of this jersey...the rest of Vancouver is on strike, why the hell not? Sooner or later the garbage will be piled so high that Trevor Linden won't be able to find GM Place anyway.
Hey by the way...what city do the Canucks play in again - I forget?! Oh right....VANCOUVER...good thing it was on the jersey or that would have bugged me all day!
I hope to be an American tourist in Vancouver before and for the Olympics and I want a jersey with "Vancouver" on it because, let's face it, who the fuck knows what the Canucks are in New Jersey? NO ONE. I would have to explain it like I have to explain why it's a big deal that my friends from BC fly out every few months because it's FAR. People think Vancouver is where Montreal is or something. Idiots. I actually have to say, "Think Seattle. Got that? Now go North."
Looks to me like Bobby Mongoose is just another one of those angry guys who likes to hear himself type and hopes other people will find his meaningless rampage or verbal diarrhea amusing.
I mean, what more intelligent commentary on the jerseys could there be than making reference to a guy wearing a jersey on a beach in Spain?
If Bobby gets that chance to visit Spain to research his fiction, he may want to see if he can hire an editor there to fix his typos.
And maybe that editor will point out that if so many others hate those new jerseys the Canucks probably wouldn't have sold out orders for their mid-September release within 24 hours.
And as for the accusation of printing 'Vancouver' for the sake of a money grab, I've got a HUGE breakthrough announcement for you.....it's a professional sports team! They sell tickets to fans....get this......FOR PROFIT! OH MY GOD, they have a store inside their building! They sell their TV rights! Hate to burst that Mongoose bubble, but NHL teams make money! And they don't even try to hide it!
Can you believe the nerve???
And besides, what the hell is an opinion on ANYTHING Canucks coming from a Flames fan anyway!?
I got two words for ya, Mongoose: "Mike Keenan." Have fun with that!
Wow, we haven't had a great reader comment like that in a while. That was Awesome! I knew that would get you going Kyle.
Jersey's or no jersey's Calgary will be triumphant in the battle of the Flames and the Canucks this year.
it's a sweater not a jersey you morons.
