I like 'em. No complaints from me.
I can just imagine your keepers shirt on the pitch...can we say ronald mcdonald?

I don't think by any means they managed to knocks the socks off 'em this time round, but yes, they are a definite improvement over others from the past. Just a mild reworking of last years' Vintage jersey: nothing more.
Had they gone anywhere near the ones post above right, there would have arguments over a new look (round patches in the elbows, stylized font on the numbers/letters, trimmed look). In a phrase: just more arguments between some people who like 'em and those who don't.
The Canucks are not the only ones putting their city name on their jersey.
But, this is a little more discreet.
Johnny Canuck
That's true about the comic book hero, but the history of the word goes much deeper, and it has nothing to do with whales.
Canuck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Specifically, the word describes a Canadian settler, most typically of French Canadian heritage. A lumberjack, or a trader, but mostly a hearty, brave, strong Canadian.
Again, if you want to go "T-Idiot PC", you could take it a whole number of degrees further, and describe a people who came to this land, pillaged, stole from, and slaughtered the natives, and helped themselves forcefully to whatever they pleased.
But, I don't believe or read anywhere that the word "Canuck" was meant to describe a barbarian- just simply a tough Canadian. Some say it is a slang...well, only when used by Americans. Just like they don't like it when we call them Yanks, I don't like it when American's refer to me as a "Cunook" .
Anyhow, I'd have had no problem with the team bringing good old Johnny Canuck back to life in a logo. I think it would have been a much better likeness of what the name is supposed to represent.
Still disappointed...
