We are all Canucks

It is one thing to watch the Canucks on T.V. but it’s no comparison to watching a live game at GM Place no matter where your seats are. According to the Fan Cost Index, we are now the 3rd most expensive place to take in a live game in the entire NHL (Toronto is #1 and Montréal is #2). So I guess we can all be Canucks but only a select few can actually go cheer them on for real given the latest hike in ticket prices. Way to endear your fans.

Oh, and I hate the new jersey. Why did they have to ruin it by plastering 'Vancouver' across the chest? It's beyond tacky.

I absolutely hate "Vancouver" on the jersey. Why do we have to remind everyone that the Canucks are from Vancouver. The point is to market the franchise logo so that everyone who sees it will know its the Canucks from VANCOUVER. The Wings, Habs, or Leafs got it right as they have a simple and effective design, but don't put their city's name on it in upper case letters.

Our jersey looks like a shirt a tourist would buy in gastown. They might as well slap on a sillouette of Sears Tower or BC place as anything is better than that deformed, twisted Orca whale. I say bring back the flying V.
