pathetic.
and I thought Nashvilles jerseys were bad!
its official...this jersey overtakes the Flying V as the Canucks worst jersey ever in team history.
seriously who is going to buy this crap? besides a few thousand Vancouver sheep who must absolutly have it because its the new,cool and trendy thing to have in B.C
I havent seen 1 decent new rbk design from any team....yet.
they all suck.
and im losing faith.
jersey sales will suffer and the nhl will switch back to the traditional style jersey.
these RBK jerseys will go the way of the Cooperall in a few years,they will be scrapped..hopefully (remember when the Cooperalls were called cutting edge technology?)
WOW!!!!! OVER 170 Comments
the jersy isnt that bad looking at 1st i though it was ulgy but when i looked at it more it was not that bad
Bad, bad, bad! Just really BAD!
The wordmark is just too big...other than that, it's pretty good.

I'm sick of, "oh the word mark, ew," it serves a perpous a a historic logo, the Vancouver millionaires. all in all, a very sharp uni.
Its a jersey who cares as long as they play good who cares. The jersey doesn't effect the game its the way u play.
I'm also completely disappointed in the change to the secondary stick the rink logo. it looks ridiculous now, before it was shaped nicely like a hockey stick, now it just looks like a 4th grader drew it
First, I got tired of trying to read the 180+ comments, although the comment of 37 years of ugly jerseys was funny.
"Vancouver" across the front is an homage to the Vancouver Millionaires of the Pacific Coast Hockey League that operated until 1925. I believe they won two Stanley Cups. I was opposed to it at first as well, but once I found that out, I recognized it for what it was, a nod to Vancouver hocky history. Not just Canucks.
don't complain too much people its just a jersey and by the way its better than lots of other rbk edge jerseys so relax EVERYONE GOD!!
All you people who are defending the "Vancouver" wordmark because it pays tribute to the Millionaires are way off. Sure, the Millionaires played in Vancouver, but that's about all they have in common. The Millionaires played in a different league, with a different name, 50 years before the Canucks ever existed. That's be like the Senators unveiling their all new uniform and *gasp* it's the 1905 Silver Seven black, red, and white striped piece of art. Sure it's history, but that doesn't make it suitable for use on what's supposed to be "new and improved".
And by the way, the wordmark would be so much better if it was about 1/2 the size.
whatever man! the millionaires do play a part in the history because the history is not just about where or when, its about the city, its about vancouver, thats what makes the logo! i think if the font was 1/2 the size, whats the point?? thatll look uglier! if theyre gonna put the vancouver on, it should stand out, it looks great the way it is, i cant wait to buy one, because im a proud canuck fan and this is definately awesome. no other team thinks about putting as much thought into a jersey.. other teams just think about image and what "looks" good, this jersey isnt about that, its about the pride of vancouver, which is HUGE
As a canuck fan, i love it too.
there is meaning to everything. in the video it says "it's been a long and curious road, but we are now vancouver owned again" talking about the ownership of this team. it should VANCOUVER loud and proudly. lets support our team and their logo. i dont know why everyone wants to be negative, thats not what vancouver is about.
GREAT LOGO WITH THE INCORPERATING OF THE CITY. ITS PART OF THE LOGO, SO ANY SMALLER AND A SMALL LOGO WOULD LOOK OUT OF PLACE.
Looks like something from a beer league. "Moose's Tavern" above the logo ... Disappointing.
oh man.... i feel sorry for canucks fans everywhere.... so many leaks that looked soooo good... and then you get this. i love the white orca though, and the stick in the rink looks good... but the "VANCOUVER" over the orca ruins the whole thing... and they definatley could've gone a little more modern... it's not really jersey the makes it look bad.. it's that terrible wordmark, but all in all? still hideous.
wow....as a canucks fan i was really excited to see what they were going to do...however after seeing it i wish that they hadn't revealed them yet...the colors and the symbols are sweet....but what the hell were they thinking throwing the word vancouver on there....it just looks like too much stuff thrown onto one jersey
