You are not alone brother. I have never really taken to old Johnny Canuck and frankly, it is a symbol that is not widely known or understood and honestly looks something more appropriate for an amateur team.David wrote:I am aware of its history, but I am not sure why it's popular. This is not to say I dislike it necessarily; just don't know why many like it so much is all.
After all, as Canadians, we tend to be a trifle self-conscious about our image. And a skating, toque-wearing French Canadian lumberjack pretty much reinforces every American stereotype out there, short of him shooting a puck into an open igloo with a moose looking on in amusement. I much prefer the 1970 stick-in-rink logo.
