After six months worth of speculation, the Canucks are hours away from leaking (or maybe deliberately releasing? God forbid...) the new logo on the new jerseys. The official release date and formal press conference is supposed to be later in August. Meanwhile, from Sportsnet:The Canucks are holding a 'closed door' photo shoot Thursday afternoon , where the subject will be the new-look jerseys in line for the 2007/08 season. The local Canucks' message boards are ablaze with speculation, with most believing the team will go back to the retro blue and green colour scheme. However, what the logo will look like remains a mystery.Hopefully we'll see something in a few hours -- and I'll post it here. Meanwhile, here is the previous discussion, speculation and polling about the possible logos.Note:The Daily News noted an earlier report from the Vancouver Sun that indicated today, August 1st, was the expected release of the new look: "the 'modern day' Canucks' marketing machine has been instructing its large army of merchandising retailers to stand by for an announcement on Aug. 1."Note2 Photoshop of Luongo from here.Update Aug 2: I sent an inquiry to the Canucks media relations office yesterday asking if they'd be providing images of the new jersey/logo publicly before the late month press conference (since they've supposedly already taken PR photos of it). They did not respond. Not a big surprise. So we'll keep waiting for someone to leak it...
