Ultimately, I remember them for failure. I get that, but for me, I think of a team that would have won the cup if not for that ridiculous barrage of injuries. That was the culmination of those unis, if you will. The last time we wore them, I feel we were the best team in hockey.

drnkirishone Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) I agree that we have a great logo. I may be biased but it is a top 5 all-time. When i see the new jersey all i am seeing is the logo. I hated the goathead when it first came out, I came to like it after a bit of time. But one of my complaints was that the logo was to big. It is a minor complaint and I am sure I will be able to look past it.

Best known for choking out a fat reporter Tim Connolly: never stay healthy, what could have been Taylor Pyatt: along with TC, had the unfortunate circumstance of being acquired for Mike Peca Slava Kozlov: ugh, made Gilmour look like Fred Jackson Ales Kotalik: one timer and penalty shot savant, was more interested in going to da club than playing hockey Jochen Hecht: despised by fans as Lindy insisted on playing him at center most likely due to Danny Breire's non-existent defense Danny Breire: root of the famous 5x5 contract lore, slippery player who looked like he was 14 years old James Patrick: he was awesome in NHL 94 Marty Biron: good for a quote, just an above average goalie Mikka Noronnen: below average NHL goalie Andrew Peters: brought a new level of boring to NHL fighting Ryan Miller: Mr Softy, also famous for the Ryan Miller shutout which is allowing a cheap goal in the waning minutes of a given game Jason Botterill: ?

Though they could have a red 3rd courtesy of the buffalo's eye. More likely, either there would be a blue & gold goathead 3rd (similar to avatar <--) or a b&r throwback.

LouBrawls Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 That is incorrect. There are no color rules that apply to the third jersey or throwback programs. If the Canucks wanted to wear the black skate as 3rd jersey, they can. A third jersey has a three year 15 games a year commitment. A throwback or anniversary jersey is a one year commitment with number of games ranging from 1-? Depending on what the team negotiates with the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea when it changed? Was it with the new Adidas contract and reintroduction of 3rds after Adidas' 1st season w/ the NHL? The way the rules were through at least the '90's & the '00's, ALL 3rds had to be in the colors of the logos &/or the primary sweaters. Teams could change shading a smidge, but they couldn't go completely outside their existing color palate. If the rule has been changed, would be really interested in seeing what it now is. (Couldn't find links to the current standards; would appreciate seeing them if you do have a link. And wasted WAY too much time trying to find them.) And a 3rd uni being in the current colors does not rule out the 'Nucks wearing the skate sweaters in black, red, & gold as those are "vintage" or "alternate" unis which don't follow the same guidelines as 3rds do. Lastly, though you say there's no color requirements, ottomh can't come up with a single "3rd" that was a different color from those used in the current unis/logos. Do you know of any that violated what had been that rule? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
