Canucks officially unveil new logo in wake of Luongo shitshow
Perhaps to take some heat off the embarrassing handling of Roberto Luongo, the endless losses in 2014, and the fact that the team couldn’t score if Sasha Grey was in net, the Vancouver Canucks have officially announced the release of a new alternate jersey.
Even though the logo isn’t totally fresh (having first surfaced last year), it is fitting given the way that the once-proud franchise has continued to flounder.
The Canucks marketing department has announced that the logo will be half-assedly stitched onto tattered jerseys that look like something Tom Hanks might have worn in the last reel of Castaway. As part of an advertising campaign to be rolled out after the Ryan Kesler shitshow has finally been botched, the jerseys will be modelled by David Booth.

Damn that's funny :) though maybe a tugboat would've been more appropriate

The 3 FastCat ferries built between 1998 - 2000 should be displayed inside the logo.

How many times do I have to tell you that the Capitals are my default team? Mostly because their record of futility is just as pathetic as the Canucks'.

Shouldn't the ship be called the "Tortanic"?
The Hawks are a good choice. Newt deserves a raise.

Nice logo. I suggest a small addition: an opium poppy on the ship's side to remind folks it's not drugs & it's not "religion" that's "the opium of the masses" (in Karl Marx's famous phrase). SPORTS, & in Canada that means HOCKEY is the opium of the masses! A cheap buzz (unless one's attending in person)that helps keep the population hypnotized & distracted from important issues, & from keeping their own selves physically fit. Sports opium
keeps minds focused on scores & "news" that are inconsequential in the real world. Wake up, sports junkies, you're wasted!

Vancouver easily has the worst and dumbest fans in all of hockey.

@ Vladimir Krutov- Wow, you have the nerve to judge us ( real fans) with a comment that isn't even relavant to the above article. That doesn't seem too intelligent now does it Vladimir ? Or were you simply referring to the randoms who posted comments above yours? They cannot be considered fans.
