Hey, everything is good about it. Except maybe the "VANCOUVER" part.

Fails at just about every level.

Do they even bother to focus group these things? Or do they just run it by the other people in the marketing department?

better than it was...but not up to The Stick. I agree w/ Joe on the "Vancouver"...a bit too baseball/basketball

there is *alot* going on in this new design ... rather cluttered and indecisive methinks

I think I would have been fine with a combination of 2 out of the 3 main elements: either

1) vintage colours plus orca logo, but not "VANCOUVER" or
2) "VANCOUVER" + vintage colours, but not orca logo

VANCOUVER + orca logo no matter what colours are too much. I'm all for breaking the rules when it makes sense, but the city name on the home jerseys is a good rule stick with. Team name at home, city name when on the road. They had to put the stick in rink logo somewhere.

Could be worse, could be bright yellow with a big V...

yeah could be a lot worse but i agree with @sgl's comments

Yes, it is just a jersey and the hype on this has been unreal, but I am surprised (i.e., disappointed) in what they showed. The jersey itself is just a copy of their 1970s edition, their white socks are borrowed from the Hartford Whalers and the logo is the "buck shot method", with actually an attempt at two logos - the Orca and Vancouver - being placed together. They didn't even think about trying to make one smaller than the other so at least one could be the focus of attention. Just slap both Vancouver and the Orca together to compete side by side. I agree with filmgoerjuan; it does make one think they just ran it by their own team over coffee during a meeting on ticket prices.

Guess it was expected - I have always had a soft spot for the team but in reality no other organization has had more crazy experiments on their uniforms than the Canucks. Now it appears they can add "lack of creativity and simplistic design“ to "wild looking", "bright and gaudy", and other choice comments they received over the years to their designer's resume.

Let's hope their new uniforms do for them on the ice what the new unis did for Anaheim last year at least.

At least it's not vertical striping.

The "VANCOUVER" + orca combo looks sharp on T-shirts though.

what an awsome jersey and pic of Naslund :D

I'd rather Markus was wearing nothing at all he's yummy
