OT: Iconic logos like TCA maple leaf,CP goose a good fit for Canadiana clothing line

While more Canadiana than AC/AP, the article does mention airline logos including the old TCA design so will count on that to be enough to warrant it's inclusion here for all to read. I found it quite interesting and a bit of a stroll down memory lane when it mentions the various iconic logos, some I recalled others I didn't. Anyway:

The industrious beaver, the mighty moose, the upstanding Mountie in a red serge uniform -- these are the standard Canadian images you see most everywhere.

Dax Wilkinson says there's a few more national icons that deserve wider attention. And he's turned them into one of Canada's most unique clothing lines.

Wilkinson's Red Canoe National Heritage Brands specializes in reproductions of vintage Canadiana logos. He's resurrected long-forgotten emblems like the Canadian Airlines goose, the Avro Aircraft wings and the Trans-Canada Airlines maple leaf. He even persuaded the CBC to let him reproduce one of the great lost Canadian icons, the CBC "lightning bolt" logo.
