Luongo never wore this jersey. Minor foul. But these next 20 are match penalties.
If you're a regular reader of Puck Daddy, that other blog I occasionally write for, you're probably aware of "Jersey Fouls", the popular feature in which Greg Wyshynski highlights some of the most egregious alterations, customizations, and other atrocities people commit when they don their hockey apparel.
People like to talk about hockey's "code", the unwritten set of rules that governs who fights, when they fight, and how they fight. But there's another code in hockey, and it governs what it and isn't acceptable to wear to the arena. A normal hockey jersey? Acceptable. A customized jersey with the number 69 and the nameplate "YOURMOM"? Yeah, no.
There are a lot of different fouls. Many are listed in this Jersey Foul Bingo card we made a while back, which remains a great thing to print out and take on your hockey road trip. But if you want to see a lot of different fouls in heinous, heinous practice, you're in luck. Canuck fans commit a lot of them. What follows are the 20 most egregious ones we've seen, from spelling mistakes to frankenjerseys to general crudity and everything in between, courtesy Wyshinski's many amazing galleries.
20 | NJ Yankee
This one makes no sense to me. Wouldn't a yankee from New Jersey want a Devils jersey or, at the very least, any American jersey? For a yankee, the wearer of this jersey appears to have a conspicuous preference for Canada. Plus, grabbing the number 45 disrespect the legacy of Nathan McIver.
19 | MacVicar 12 1/2
Speaking of jerseys that make no sense… who is MacVicar? Is this a second jersey that disrespect Nathan McIver, perhaps by spelling his name wrong and getting his number incredibly wrong? No idea. I thought, for a moment, maybe this jersey belonged to a child whose last name was MacVicar and whose age was twelve and a half, but it looks like a grown man in this jersey. So I have no clue here.
18 | Canucklehead 69
Huh huh huh it says Canucklehead and the number is 69… huh huh huh huh.
17 | Ovechkin 8
See, because Alex Ovechkin never played for the Canucks, which is why this is a foul. Why you'd do this is beyond me. Isn't Chris Tanev enough for you?
16 | Cup Bound
This jersey surfaced during the 2011 Stanley Cup Final. In hindsight, it may have been just a touch premature. Either that, or it was the cause of the Canucks' failure. Eleven, really? Wayne Maki's unofficially retired number, brought back by Mark Messier? There's no way this didn't rouse the local hockey gods.
15 | Dukenukem 187
I've never played the Duke Nukem games, but I'm quite confident that there isn't a level or a world or whatever where he suits up for the Canucks. I'm even more confident that he doesn't wear the number 187.
14 | Max Power
Max Power is the man with name you want to touch, but you mustn't touch, but he doesn't play for the Canucks. He never did. And if he did, a classy guy like Max Power isn't going to wear 69 like a twelve-year-old. This is all kinds of foul.
13 | Sedins
Oh, come on now.
12 | McClean 1
Scott Brown, our illustrious Vancouver Sun sports editor, floats the theory that, perhaps, McClean is this guy's last name. Because it's definitely not the last name of Kirk McLean, who wore number 1 and would go nicely with the Richard Brodeur jersey to his left. Here's hoping. If not, this is a big ol' spelling foul.
11 | Blue and Green Canadiens jersey
That is not the logo that goes there. THAT'S NOT THE LOGO THAT GOES THERE. PUT IT BACK.
10 | Gretzsky
Wow. Just wow. First of all, I'm not sure who Gretzsky is, but there's no way he wore 99, because only Wayne Gretzky scored that. Second, despite very nearly signing a deal, Gretzky never played for the Canucks. And third, even if he had, it wouldn't have been in this jersey. Everything about this is bad.
9 | Bite Me
Wherein the stick in rink is used for a wonderful tableau. What's strangest to me here is that this guy went with Lapierre's finger taunt instead of, say, Burrows' actual bite. Why not go for gusto? Either way, this is strange. And the lime green makes the whole thing sort of off-putting too.
8 | Kseler
What's strangest to me about this jersey is that no one is telling this guy what's gone horribly, horribly wrong. You'd think someone would be tapping him on the shoulder or whispering into his ear while his eyes grow wide with horror. But no. He's just shuttling around the Lowerr Mainland with "KSELER" written on his back like a dope.
7 | Henrik Sedin/Andrew Ladd frankenjersey, part one
Why you would do this do a perfectly good Henrik Sedin jersey is beyond me, and mashing him together with Andrew Ladd, a noted enemy of the club, makes even less sense. The two logos don't come anywhere near lining up and neither do the numbers, with an inch-wide slice of Ladd's "6″ just floating there. On the bright side, at least the other halves of these two jerseys didn't go to waste.
6 | Henrik Sedin/Andrew Ladd frankenjersey, part two
There it is. What makes this mashup the worse side? The number 36. That's Jannik Hansen's number. You've ruined a Henrik Sedin jersey by sewing half a Jets jersey onto it and given Henrik Jannik Hansen's number. What could drive a person to such insanity?
5 | Stinky 69
Sigh. This guy probably thinks he's hilarious.
4 | Your Mom 69
There are several "69″ jerseys on this list, but as far as maturity goes, this one takes the cake. Not content to just have a snicker-worthy number on the back, this intelligent fellow tacks on a "Your Mom". I guarantee you when he went to get this, the person affixing the letters rolled their eyes so hard they nearly died.
3 | Neely
This is just cruel. Why would you do this to your fellow fans? Unless you're trolling, in which case, we still don't approve.
2 | Henrik Sedin counterfeit jersey of champions
It seems like a knockoff… but I can't be entirely sure.
1 | Crosongo
But the grandaddy of them all is "Crosongo". Half Crosby, half Luongo, all jersey foul. Why? Just…. why.Tags: Blogs are for lists, Jersey Fouls
My favourite jersey foul came courtesy of a fine young gentleman who belligerently informed me that I, as a girl, had no clue what I was talking about. He was wearing a "SNEPTS" jersey- and I had discreetly taken him aside to suggest he might want to return the jersey to wherever he had purchased it from.
All right, what is the appeal of the Frankenjersey? I don't understand it at all. We've all seen it multiple times on Puck Daddy, and every time I'm left wondering if they're actively trying to besmirch the jerseys, or if they're just completely lacking in self awareness. Or they just have limitless budgets and they enjoy driving the other fans nuts.
I see no real problem with #20 — the guy's a Canuck fan originally from New Jersey and is proud of that. As a fellow U.S.-born Canuck fan I can admire that. If he's not going to cheer for the Devils (or, let's be more honest here, the Rangers) why would it have to be another American-based team? He has no greater connection to Los Angeles or Detroit than he does to Vancouver.
#19 could be an allusion to Rob McVicar, but it is spelled wrong (and I assume only a family member would have a Rob McVicar jersey, and they wouldn't spell it wrong). Probably the guy's own name and 12½ is some kind of inside joke.
#13 I actually think this is clever (though he might have given them their combined #55 instead of 23). Have you noticed how few Sedin jerseys you see on fans, even though they are two of the best players in the league? It is partially xenophobia, but it is also partially because fans generally won't pick one over the other. This solves that.
#10 I would be willing to be that this is a novelty jersey featuring that girl's nickname. Her first name is probably Skyler or something.
I also LOVE the early '80s throwback Luongo jersey in the article masthead. I don't get why era-mixing is a jersey foul to begin with, it's actually a really fun visual experiment (particularly in the days before they throwback third jerseys started appearing to see it for real, so the thought of Trevor Linden in blue and green, say, was unthinkable but still cool to try to imagine). Now that teams do so often use retro jerseys anyway, these types are only a hair away from being in team stores anyway.
I have two Canuck jerseys plus a 2010 Team Canada jersey with both my name and birth year on the back. Ironically, my birth year just happens to be 1969. It's time to put this 69 sex stuff to bed once and for all as '69 was a good year and Bryan Adams co-wrote and recorded a classic hit based on that year.

Last month, Doug and I took our first adults only vaction in 6 years. We're always talking about possible relocation spots and we had both seen pictures of Maine that made us drool. We decided we should at least check it out and so, Nana flew in to be with the little ones and we headed out. We arrived on a Saturday night and drove up from Boston to New Harbor in the dark. We got settled into the house Doug had rented from his company for the week and went to sleep. We awoke the next morning to this sight...
and staying in this house.
Once we got going and began to explore the area, we immediately fell in love with New Harbor.
The lighthouse itself hadn't opened yet for the day. We decided to leave and come back the next day. We drove out to Fort William Henry where a stone bastion replica built in 1908 stands on the spot of the original fort built in 1692!
We drove on in to Damariscotta and were amazed at the size of the pumpkins!
I always thought Bishop's Pumpkin Farm had enormous pumpkins. I was wrong! The winning pumpkin there that day had set a new state record at 1,471 pounds.
All of the other carved pumpkins on display were between 300-500 pounds and a fork lift was required to move them around. I had also read there was going to be a regatta but little did I know it was a "pumpkin boat" race. We arrived only in time to see the aftermath of the race...
and one lone motorized pumpkin boat race contestant still at it.
We took the opportunity after lunch to explore a bit more of New Harbor...
and then finished the day at the beach.

Hampton picked up in the postseason where it left off in the regular season.
After going undefeated through the Watauga Valley Conference, the Bulldogs capped off a dominant run in the District 1-A boys basketball tournament with a 70-55 win over South Greene Tuesday night at Daniel Boone High School.
Taking an early 6-0 lead, the Bulldogs led the rest of the way.
"I thought our kids played well even when they made big runs at us," Hampton coach Ned Smith said after his team improved to 25-5. "We buckled down and played defense. South Greene is a really athletic bunch. They shoot the ball real well from the outside and get to the hole.
"I thought our kids made enough big plays, had a couple of big runs and got the job done. District championships are great and I'm proud of our kids for winning it."
Tournament MVP Stanley Valentine certainly got the job done for the Bulldogs with a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds.
When the Rebels threatened to cut the lead to single digits in the fourth quarter, Valentine answered with an old-fashioned 3-point play to give the Bulldogs some breathing room.
"Like Coach Smith always says, 'Basketball is a game of runs,'" Valentine said. "They are a great team, as tough as we've played. We knew we just had to get back to what we do best, attacking the basket."
Coby Jones kicked off a strong start for the Bulldogs by scoring the game's first four points. Jones finished with 16 points and five assists. Tristan Robinson had an all-around performance of 16 points, six rebounds and four steals, while Cody McClain had 10 points and six assists.
Jones noted it's not unusual for the Bulldogs to have so many different ways of beating teams.
"We just spread the ball around," Jones said. "It doesn't have to be one player that scores. When one's guarded, the next one makes the shot and we just keep moving the ball around."
Daniel Lowery had 17 points for the Rebels (13-13), who also had a 15-point effort from Nick Fillers.
Both teams as well as Unaka and North Greene will now move to the regional quarterfinals. Valentine likes the Bulldogs' chances with so many players who can score and all of them focused on one goal.
"We can go eight or nine players deep," Valentine said. "Anybody on this team is capable of having a 30-point game when it's their night. What I like about this team, if one of us isn't hitting, we know how to share the ball with each other. All we want to do is win."comments powered by Disqus
