Sedin Jerseys Still Not A Hot Item

…when my wife and I get new jerseys this season, she’s planning on getting a Kesler or Burrows jersey, while I plan on getting a Daniel Sedin jersey. It helps that we share a first name and 2 is my favorite number (and he has two of them!).

My knee-jerk choice for a jersey (and what I selected in the poll) is Kesler, but I decided on Daniel after some consideration.

Easily. American. On the Canucks.

I´m surprised no one has tried a semi- Frankenjersey with Sedin and the number 23. (or 32). Edler unavailable for comment.

When I do buy one, you just might have convinced me Sean. He is the guy that won 2 major trophies no other Canuck has.

1- It is funny they are never mentioned as the singular draft picks they were. Yes, there are two of them, but two very talented guys. After last year, I don’t think we will here that “one can’t play with the other” so often.

2-I agree wholeheartedly. The thing is, as you get to know them through the media interviews and whatnot, it is quite apparent they both have a pretty wicked sense of humour. That NHL “Swedish Twins” thing was hilarious.

3-They are physical, just not in the traditional way. The way they control along the boards, they take a ton of abuse and stand in and make the play. That is tough too. Just because they don’t light someone up ( and I think this past season was the first time I noticed them being more aggressive. The influence of a certain French Canadian shit disturber…I imagine )

4- We had that discussion a while ago I think. I was down on the preternatural connection then, and still am now. Though I do agree that you can sure get something akin to what they do from playing with someone for a long long time…it just seems they take that to the next level too. As for the “Sisters”…one of the most satisfying things about the last couple years is the few Flames fans I know actually, in a bar, correcting a fan of their own team to the tune of “I wouldn’t call them that anymore…fuckers are pretty good…” Laughter from all around ensued, and dude had a few beers bought for him as well!

5- You aren’t anti-Ginger are you?

Great article Sean.

I’d get a Burrows jersey. But I’ll probably get a Sedin jersey.

Why not? Here long term, two of the best players in the league, they visibly care about their team (not always common for European players). Who cares if they’re funny looking? I’ve looked around at Canucks games, I don’t think anyone should judge.

Almost got a Kesler shirt, decided on just a blue shirt with the canucks logo on it for cheaper. Being sent down under now

a Lu stick in rink blue vintage jersey from 3 years ago and an unnamed orca jersey from 4 years ago with stick in rink on the shoulder blades, signed by Nazzy and Ohlund (selling it, if anyone wants it! $120, negotiable). But the next jersey I definitely want to get is a "VANCOUVER’ Burrows jersey. I got a shirt in the playoffs because I didn’t have the cash for a full on jersey. I would only get a Sedin shirt or jersey if one of them became captain.

my family and i can’t afford getting a name on the back. when us kids got my dad a jersey 2 years ago for his birthday, it was either $130 for a plain jersey, and an extra $70 for a number and name. as a couple university students and a high school student, you can probably tell which one we took….

Kesler, Burrows, those names are coming up again. So why do you choose them over a Hart Trophy winner? It’s the heart and soul thang, right? It’s because the Sedins look like Orphan Annie? I was hoping to gauge some reasons

And why did Naslund get so much love yet the Sedins don’t?

For me I think Kesler just stands out more, I like players to have personality and I see more of that from Kesler

It’s not the name on the back that’s important, it’s the crest on the front.

Besides, if I got a name on the back (tshirt, jersey, it doesn’t matter), I guarantee you, that player would be gone before the start of next season. That is my blessing, that is my curse.

People in general respond to aggressive players. They love warriors.

I am one of those people so I voted Kesler.

Kind of on-topic, I picked up a Team Canada Luongo t-shirt jersey the other day. The last one in my size and cheap ($10), good buy.

Daniel Sedin would be near the top of my list. I’ve always liked his scoring abilities. But I voted for CoHo. I guess I like the challenge of backing future question marks. But I’d really, really love to have a Billy Sweatt jersey!

I’ve always said and will continue to say, I’ll never get a jersey with a player’s name on it, unless it’s a legacy type thing (linden, smyl, etc). In the salary cap era, to me buying a jersey with a players name on it is a risky possible waste of money; even if they are a player who’s name just screams ‘CANUCK’ (see mitchell: willie). Tee shirts tho…different story.

My first ever shirt was a Bertuzzi shirt. I then went and bought matching Linden and Naslund shirts, which are framed and hung in my study. My latest shirt was a Lu shirt – but if I had to start afresh, I’d be getting a Hank jersey. He and Daniel WILL get their jerseys retired one day…franchise leaders in practically every category (by the time they’re done that is), several exciting cup runs…they will one day bf viewed as the “Ultimate” Canucks IMO.

but my first thought was, “No, I wouldn’t get a Sedin jersey” followed by, “wait, why the hell not?”

I… really don’t know. Maybe it’s because it feels like I should be wearing both of their jerseys. I’m certain that if they were mashed into one Swedish red-headed orgasm of awesomeness named Danrik I’d damn sure choose that jersey. So yeah, I guess it’s #1. I just never thought about before.

I’d rather get a throwback anyway. Linden, McLean, or even Ronning, just because I’m almost as tall as he was. :)

I bought my first jersey last year and it was Lou so I voted for him. Although at the time he really was the star of the team. Now we have a few star players to pick from. If I get a second one it’ll probably be one of the Sedins.

I have a blank 3rd jersey – not sure who I want to put on it. My first thought would be Kesler, as he’s more of the leadership type. And the get-in-your face type.

I wonder if part of the reason there aren’t many Sedin jersey’s sold is that people always think of them as a package, and bring themselves to choose/don’t want to? That’s kind of how I see it

pisses me off more than someone wearing a Hordi jersey. Why would you waste $230+ bones on a useless goon that is a healthy scratch most of the time? sigh. Im so angry.
