I like C & D

The Johnny Canuck on I and J is too reminiscent of the NY Islanders' unlamented Captain Highliner experiment for my liking.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
I see the stylised C as well, but I usually just see it as a smiling head (of a whale, perhaps?) in profile... just add a puck for an eye to complete the look...David wrote:...their 1970's blue w/green and white trim and white w/blue and green trim uniforms with the simple yet effective hockey stick in rink logo (which, if you look closely, is actually a stylized "C"). ...

Maybe I'm cynical, but don't modern teams change uniforms in order to sell more jerseys to the true believers? English soccer clubs seem to have pioneered this scam. Now that I think about it, the CFL seems a bastion of consistency.
As for the glorious orange Canuck bumlebee-V sweaters - I was sitting in a pub in a little Welsh village in 1982, and out the window I saw a guy wearing one of those. So I chased him down the street. Turned out he had bought it in a jumble sale, because it was so ugly he thought it looked punk.

Since we're on the subject of revenue and hockey jerseys I propose that the Canucks copy what the European teams are doing and decorate their jerseys with sponsor's logos. We can have one for Molson's beer, Canadian Tires, Ford logos etc. The possilities are endless.
