Rumor: Black Skates to make an appearance?

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I’m so down for this. Love those jerseys - and McLean’s mask is an all time great for me.

When I think "Canuck", Kirk McLean's mask is the first image that pops into my head. Would be awesome to see it in a game again.

 

[Cornwallace]

I hope so

It's easily my favourite Canucks uniform

 

[Canucks LB]

I wonder if somebody went to Ruthaford and requested them to return lmao

Ugly color scheme, even uglier logo.

Time to put an end to that abomination.

It's kind of funny. I seem to remember that jersey being considered one of the worst back in the day (although nothing like the Flying V in reputation).

Compared the the stick in rink jerseys with far too much green on them, I vastly prefer the black jerseys. They look so much better.

Yeah it was so good that Calgary Flames blatantly ripped it off for their alternates last year

Those 90's jersey's were the best we've ever had.

The black red and yellow was intimidating and bad@ss. Also very unique.
I would love to see them go back to that and move away from the super friendly color scheme we have now.

Imagine Demko in that... FIRE.
Pettersson puling off his 1 hand Foppa deke in that.. FIRE.
Boeser snapping a 30' wrister top corner.. FIRE.
Hughes spinning around and walking the blue-line making space to feed Jt. Miller for a 1time clapper. FIRE.

do it!

shoutout to the early yellow version of the captain kirk mask

i feel like there was also one where it looked like a modern mask in the front but just straps on the back, but i might have invented that memory

This is the correct answer. Yes, the Flying V was a little bit worse, but not by much.

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

I would love to see the white version of this jersey as well.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

The skate jerseys are my nostalgic favorite - first became a fan while they were in use, and all my childhood favourites wore it. The Orca came in when I was in high school. I don’t hate any of the looks we’ve had (although I’ve got most to least favorites), but seeing these bad boys out definitely makes me a happy camper. I think they look deadly.

Also helps that there are no Free Willy remakes

I like the way they look but I really think we should stick with the blue/green colour scheme full-time.

Very fun 3rd jersey though.

The stick and rink is my favourite by far (and blue/green is THE colour combination for Vancouver). But these need to make a 2-3 time a year appearance for sure.

This was the version with yellow home jerseys. Thus the reason for the yellow painted mask.

Honestly think it's a far better colour scheme than blue/green.

Our stuff looks corny

except for this - this is great.

(if anyone has a size medium one that isn't a fake sell it to me thanks)

Sick and rink should be our main jerseys with the black skate being the 3rd

Our current main jerseys with the orca and the Vancouver letters are terrrible.... up there with the worst in the league

To me, that one looks the worst. Blue on green and green on blue all the way.

you are the first person i’ve ever seen not like the 40th anniversary ones

i thought there was a unanimous like for them

I think the white is a good away jersey and blue/green for home games.

ya that was my first year really watching, so i caught the last season of home yellows (and the babe patches)

next year came larionov and krutov and the rebrand to whites

year after was courtnall and ronning

then after that pavel’s rookie year

back in the early 90s, the yellow era really felt like a whole other decade

I am pretty sure we haven’t had that Vancouver word mark for like three years or so now.

Oh, I think this is only for special occasions. Not a full time switch.
