Canis, Canucks is another word for Canadian. Are you sure you did enough research? o.o
I like the Canucks logo more than the note, but again the Canucks logo shouldn't have went past the wings. Everyone has a different way of thinking. As Chris said, dont take it too seriously.
This is easy, THe St Louis Blues easily have the most original and inspiring logo of any team in the NHL, the dynamic winged Bluenote. Nothing stands out so clear, there are no animals, or slogans, stupid looking tires or racist portraits of indigenous people, the Bluenote represents the true spirit of hockey.
The Blues will heal your soul when it is broken and long after the fall of Man...after we have eaten all of the whales......the Blues will go on forever.
the 'note' is extremely annoying IMO, i hate the nucks jersey, but their logo is pretty good standalone.
btw, it says that the polls closed, but it closes tomorrow... is it just me?
Why does everything always have to turn into a Canada vs. USA shouting match? And why would it be a bad thing if the top four logos happened to be Canadian? People vote for the logos they like, and I think a lot of people would be biased in this voting. If you do not like Team X because of the rivalry with your team, then you would be much less likely to vote for Team X because you wouldn't like anything about their team (even the logo). Some people like the Flyers logo, but I personally hate it. So friggin' what. It's my opinion. If people are of the opinion that the Oilers have a good logo (and I am one of them), then good on them.
This is just a series of polls on NHL logos - it's not like we're debating the merits of George W. Bush - so why doesn't everyone stop being all pissy - regardless of nationality.
Sheesh.
I don't understand why people think the canucks logo is a corporate mark. Sure, the team was owned by a company named "Orca Bay," but that doesn't mean that the orca has nothing to do with the team, or the city. I've lived in Vancouver my whole life, and Haida art, which often includes images of the orca, is something I've seen my whole life living in this area -- on totem poles, in museums, and just around the city in general.
The orca logo represents the city much better than the old logos:
STICK IN RINK: Um what does that have to do with the name canucks or the city of Vancouver?
HOCKEY SPAGHETTI SKATE: Once again, we get it already, the Canucks are a HOCKEY team. What does that have to do with the city name?
ORCA: Vancouver is part of this logo.
here are some examples:

To all those people who say the Orca logo is a corporate logo... it's got more history than ANY logo the canucks have ever had.

Do you really? Maybe you should ask God for some schooling as well. Maybe ask him for a time-out from this forum while you're at it.
I don't see the validity in calling our existance (sic) pathetic in Vancouver/Victoria Isle/BC/Alaska (did you mean Vancouver Island?) merely because you don't like the local NHL team. Maybe you just need to grow up, who can say?
Go outside, breathe some of that fresh clear Michigan air, calm down, and let the anger just float away. I don't think even the presidential election creates this much animosty! (well maybe 2000...)
"I thank God every day that I was born in Michigan and that I was raised a Wingnut so I don't have such a pathetic existance as those in Vancouver/Victoria Isle/BC/Alaska."
That is one seriously big chip you have on your shoulder.
Seriously.....comparing The West Coast to Michigan. lol
Um...yeah. It is Vancouver Island, not Victoria Island...just to let you know. Thanks.
Um, I'm an American, born and raised in Iowa. Now I live in Vancouver and thank god everyday that I live here. It's not a political thing. It's just amazing here, not to mention an amazing (but sometimes frustrating) hockey town to live in. :)
Wow. Just vote for a logo.
I guess I'm really untouched by the comments of everyone. Perhaps it is because half the world thinks what Beli-cheat did is just fine...maybe it's because I really just don't care. I think most of you make assumptions about me and frankly I don't care. All I know is that I came on this poll thinking it was a fair vote of aesthetic value and it has turned out to be a vicious distortion of logodom. I truly apologize for my inflamatory remarks and I apologize for any insults I've made to fans of the NHL. This blog is not what I thought it was and I will no longer participate in it. Good luck to all and have a good life.
weird way to end these comments

Um, I listen to rock music, so I don't think blues is inspiring. Furhtermore, why does that logo capture the true spirit of hockey? It represents a type of music!
I am a Canucks fan, and I would just like to point out that it's people from everywhere voting on this thing. If we win because of Vancouverite's voting for their favourite team alone, then I should think that Vancouver SHOULD win just because that means we have more fans than the rest of the world combined. Which I'm damn sure we don't (have you seen the red sea of Calgary?)
Yes people are biased, but there have been way more comments about people complaining about the bias then people standing up for their team. I agree the Av's shoulda won, and i HATE the Av's, but it doesn't matter. You can't change people's opinions on their teams and their choice in logos just by leaving an angry comment. People will vote how they want. And if you're so sure people were spam voting for the nucks, then why don't you spam vote against them if it's so damn important to you?
I'd like to thank chris for setting up a wicked website, we'll see a lightning/nucks cup match this year.
