Oh, Canucks.

Canucks release new sweaters

They're not as painful as I was expecting, but they're not wonderful either.
I like the fact that they're going back to the blue and green as predominant colors, and I REALLY like the fact that they kept the whale, but I think putting the big "VANCOUVER" over it is a really "DUH" move. Especially seeing as how the Orca is a very northwest thing, and there's ONLY ONE HOCKEY TEAM IN THE ENTIRE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AREA *grumble grumble*

I also appreciate that they didn't say "Well, we've got new seams to play with in this new style of jersey, so let's put as many random color patches on it as we can!" So many of the OTHER teams have done that, and it's a little obnoxious.

I also think that while Luongo's third helmet was a great third helmet, he needs a new primary helmet, as it's gonna get boring looking at the woodgrained one for an entire season. May I suggest a lovely Johnny Canuck pattern, as he didn't get on the jersey?
