Disagree. The most iconic logos in pro sports are symbols not animals that have nothing to do with the team name. (Yankees, Montreal Canadiens, Notre Dame University etc. In fact, the most iconic sport brands on planet earth are symbols.
Vancouver's jerseys on the other hand have historically ranked at or near the bottom in terms of popularity. (all versions of them)
I like the idea of the Millionaires logo. (or a modernized version of it) Its simple, multidimensional, and has history behind it. Guess that's why the Canucks bought the rights to it.
Agree about the Stealth nickname LOL  Doesn't exactly strike fear in opponents. |
Nope,
it's from the Yanks - much like how "Yank" comes from the Brits.
Hmm, the orca logo is popular enough for
Seattle to steal it.
Fair point, but the teams that still use letters were there when the leagues were created. Unlike Vancouver, those logos have a century's worth of heritage and a couple of trophies behind them; our city goes out wearing the Millionaires jersey (or worse, that Johnny Canuck one), we just end up looking like the Blue Jackets.
Could be worse - take the Oakland Athletics or the
Mighty Ducks... or the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly. We ever get a team name like that, the franchise'll evaporate faster than the Grizzlies.
