The Vancouver Canucks are widely known as the NHL professional ice hockey team of the National Hockey League. Located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

For a long period of 18 years i.e. from 1980 to 1998, Vancouver Canucks was owned by Mr. Arthur Griffiths Jr who was a local philanthropist and businessman. However, circumstances forced him to sell his major Canucks shares as he was more involved in building a wonderful GM Place that was consuming most of his financial resources. American billionaire John McCaw bought the majority of the Canucks’ shares from Arthur Giffiths Jr.

The Aquilini Investment Group of Vancour also showed interest in the Vancouver Canucks and the leader of the Aquilini Investment Group managed to buy 50% of the shares in the franchise and the General Motors Place sports arena on November 17, 2004. Aquilini still owns the remaining 50% part he got from the franchise and John McCaw’s General Motors Place. However, in January 2005, Aquilini had a difficult time when his former business partners Tom Gagliardi and Ryan Beedie filed a lawsuit against Aquilini and OrcaBay, the group that currently owns the Canucks. Gagliardi and Beedie complained about Aquilini and OrcaBay’s bad faith and failure to provide assistance when Aquilini and Orca Bay negotiated their deal, even though Aquilini had to withdraw from his partnership with Gagliardi and Beedie to acquire the team for financial reasons. . .

The history of the Canucks shows that they put a lot of effort into selecting a unique logo and making an acceptable sweater design for their players. They underwent a process of making many logos and designs for the sweaters from time to time. An early team sweater now worn only on the occasional “vintage night” is a blue rink-shaped rectangle with a hockey stick on it. This sweater was designed by Joe Borovich of North Vancouver. An adaptation of the same logo is used until now, as a shoulder patch on the team’s existing jerseys, along with the modern team colours.

In the 1970s, some revolutionary changes were made to give the team a new look, resulting in the team’s most controversial appearance in history. The design of the sweaters was the subject of great controversy. The new sweaters consisted of a huge “V” of yellow, orange and black stripes that fell from the shoulders. Some considered the newly designed sweaters the best, while others dismissed the new designs as the worst sweaters.

As far as the logo goes, it was based on the word “Canucks” at a diagonal angle that is actually part of a skate blade. The logo is almost laser-like in design, sometimes referred to as the “Star Wars” logo or even the “Downward Skate” logo. To put the final blow to these controversies, some fundamental changes were made to the design of the jerseys and logos in 1989. The yellow home jerseys were fragmented by more conventional white ones; furthermore, the triangular shoulder stripes that adorned post-“V” jerseys were simultaneously dropped. The new design was used from 1989 to 1992, when a subtle change was finally made. Red took place in place of orange, and the deep ‘gold’ color was altered to a brighter yellow. This is most likely a reference to Orca Bay, the name of the company that owns the equipment.

It’s worth mentioning here that the name “Canuck” is not part of the current Canucks logo. Canuck is used as a slang word for a Canadian similar to “Yankee” for an American. Anyway, the team name is originally derived from Johnny Canuck. He was a 19th century Canadian cartoon who was reincarnated multiple times throughout the 20th century. The Johnny Canuck symbol was also on the first Vancouver Canucks logo.
