The stories that we hear about Johnny Canuck being a 1880's political cartoon or a cartoon fighting pilot are interesting, but they have absolutely no relevance to the history of this team. Ditto for the old Johnny Canuck logo that is featured on this page and everywhere else on the Internet. If the WHL Canucks actually used that logo officially, it was not for very long, and it doesn't really look like the team's original Johnny Canuck logos. The Johnny Canuck logo featured on Luongo's mask is actually the original logo. It was also the logo most commonly used by the team. It first appeared in the mid fifties and was worn as a shoulder patch on the team's dark uniforms. The second Johnny Canuck logo is the one that is found on that red and gold uniform that has been floating around the Internet lately. That logo was the only Johnny Canuck logo that was featured on the front of a Canuck sweater. It was worn during 1962-63 season.

This was a failed kindergarten project where they said to some kids there is a rink there is hockey sticks, it's called hockey draw something. Any team in the league could use it and at least 15 more if they can see the "C" it's in their name or nickname. The "V" when placed next to the Vachon logo is not even close except they both have V's (I've done it). We need something that says Canadian west coast and is indigenous to us. The Orca is one but I prefer Johnny Canuck it's us, it's was a consistent winning team, and it shows motion and pay homage to history.

It is time for people to stop their constant whining and complaining. Forget the Vachon Cakes logo for crying out loud. The fact that there is some resemblence between the two logos is just a COINCIDENCE, that's all. The Canucks V logo is different from the Vachon V in terms of shape, colour, and design, while Johnny's head is bigger with no arm present. Even his eyes are open while the baker is stuffing his face with fattening junk food with his eyes closed. The Johnny Canuck V is more comparable to the BC Lions logo with the use of the city/province's initials with the heads of the mascots that bear the names of the respective teams. The V pays homage to the city of Vancouver and the Vancouver Millionares while the head of Johnny Canuck symbolizes the legendary character that our beloved NHL franchise is named after. The Chicago Blackhawks and the Washington Redskins have very similiar looking logos. The Chicago Bears and the Cincinatti Reds have C logos that look EXACTLY alike. Let's have some Vancouver Canuck pride for Pete's sake. Be proud that the Johnny Canuck lumberjack and our city's initial is finally on our uniforms. Who else in North American major pro sports has a V logo? Congratulations to the Canucks for FINALLY coming up with a great looking uniform that pays respect to our hockey heritage.
