Apparently I am not the only one who thought that the new logo that The Vancouver Canucks introduced last week looked familiar.

Upon looking for a picture of it to post here, I found it on someone elses blog. He was commenting about the exact same thing I was going to write about.

When I first saw the logo I was instantly reminded of the logo for Vachon Inc.. Vachon Inc. is a Canadian company who manufactures baked goods, like their chocolate covered chocolate layer cake called, Jos. Louis. I haven't had one for years but I they taste good.

The Vancouver Canucks really seem to struggle with their image but I do like the blue and green jerseys. It seems very suitable for a team situated on the beautiful west coast and it celebrates their history. They haven't won a Stanley Cup but they are a successful franchise in every other way.

Alot people like the old "Johnny Canuck" logo. But to me it has no association with any Canucks teams I'm familiar with. There seems only to be a few pictures of it and I haven't been able to find out when it was used.

Vancouvers new third jersey is a subtle change of the jersey they already wear. The changes are so sublte it makes me wonder what the point of introducing a third jersey was. You might think money, but introducing a third jersey that looks almost exactly like your current home jersey isn't going to get alot of people running to the store to buy. I think that they've fouled up so many times in the past that they're scared of doing it again.

I'd like to see the old V jerseys in the new colours or a version of the Vancouver Millionares jersey. The Millionares did win the Stanley Cup. That's worth a tribute, don't you think?
