Re: Canucks News n Notes 22-23
Letter from 83 year old, West Van resident who designed rink and stick logo addressed to Frankie.
Dear Sir,
What are you selling – hockey or jerseys? Johnny Canuck didn’t help you last night against the expansion Las Vegas team when you blew a two-goal lead with 10 minutes left in the game. It didn’t help you against Boston, Toronto or Montreal either. What are you trying to establish here? All the different jerseys didn’t help when Bure was here or the Sedins. OK, they came close, but no cup. It’s only been 52 years, Mr. Aquilini.
Tradition and pride in uniforms are a bit of a stretch with your teams. I am prejudiced, as I designed the "stick in the rink" logo in 1970, along with the blue and green uniforms.
Blue and green is the West Coast look, "stick in the rink" is hockey. What are you trying to do with the image of the team? The smart look of a consistent logo and jersey creates a tradition and history and gives team players pride when they put it on, e.g. Montreal, Toronto, Boston and Detroit.
Arthur Griffiths could not stand the money he was losing with poor attendance, so he went to California to get a new look. Coach Harry Neal said when they played in New York on Halloween, they won best costume.
My logo is already established with the shoulder look and the history, but the players must feel they are in a fashion show and that is why they blow a two-goal lead with 10 minutes to go!
I guess the sweater business is doing OK for you – it’s Christmas.
I imagine the "stick in the rink" would look good beside the Stanley Cup.
Maybe our grandchildren will enjoy it, right Francesco?
Yours truly,
Joseph Borovich
West Vancouver

This franchise is a joke.

yup addressed to Aqualung and copied to the North Shore News.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

As much as I respect the sentiment "retro" night etc. is a league decision, and the A's didn't have anything to do with the previous changes.

Random Boner Incident?
All I can say is, Joseph Borovich isn't the only Canuck fan this team has transformed into a grumpy old man over the years...

Generally speaking random boners and grumpy old men just might be mutually exclusive.
Edit: come to think of it perhaps grumpy old men and random boners is more inclusive than originally thought.
