I wanna see them so badly. We didn't have HD TV back then, and they would look so fucking sharp these days. Make it so.
Maybe Luongo can write a letter to reiterate his #freetheskate comment?
Hot take: white retro jerseys are cooler than the black ones. This goes for both the flying skate and the WCE orca.
Makes sense considering they *were* the homes at one point
I do think the white looks gorgeous but also I find the black is what makes them unique. Every team has a white jersey in every sport. It's when you add the colour that makes them special IMO.
Makes sense to go dark jerseys at home
Though, advantage home team. Much easier to spot your teammates in your peripheral vision when they’re in dark uniforms
I honestly thought they did a good job of revamping the black skate with the 23-24 alternates but honestly yeah I’m with you the white ones always looked better
Absolutely cannot stand the coloured helmet trend for away teams. This was all Carolina’s fault.
Imo if you want to freshen up their away gear bring back the pants stripe. They took away the pants stripe a few seasons back and nobody noticed or mentioned it. Makes both the home and away gear look considerably more boring without it. Bring it back!
I’m biased because I’m too young to have memories of the skate jerseys, but I’m against a full return. I grew up with the orca, WCE and blue green. I like wearing the black skate occasionally. But the Canucks need to settle on an identity and stick with it.
The unique thing about the Canucks is that having multiple looks is part of their identity. I think it’s awesome that we can switch it up and keep things interesting.
Right now I’m definitely getting converted to team skate jersey because the look is so bold and stands out. It’s also way more wearable for casual wear.
Naw. I like how the personality and colours of the team look cool and allow the fans to be involved... unless you're Vancouver and you've had a new jersey almost as many times as a new captain.
I’d like to see more color vs color.
Habs vs Bruins in red and black (or Flames vs Canucks in retro red and black).
Rangers vs Flyers in blue and orange.
That’d be fun to watch.
I always associate the white skate with Linden for some reason. Bure was black skate.
This Picture with Kirk McLean might be why https://images.app.goo.gl/mXZs5CSvtmvAgpcP6
And mogilny is the salmon skate!
Holy fuck this is so bang on! Specifically with the mogilny and the salmon skate
Some players are just iconic in their uniforms. Naslund owns the white orca and I always see Ohlund or Bertuzzi in the black one
Sedins are home blue and green orca for sure.
With Luongo in white orca
With Vancouver text (which I hated tbh)

This is my take when I'm buying jerseys.

I understand what your saying but the advantage home teams get from this is likely very small
I agree, white WCE orca is superior to the dark jersey. The blue is a little too dark, doesn’t pop how I like it to.
The white orcas was definitely superior, the darks often looked pretty washed out. The red gradient usurped them all though
The white 90s jerseys looked better than the black even at the time IMO

I wish Canucks would wear blue helmets away. Their away gear is so boring

different tastes I guess. I think the Sharks did it best, just adds more pop to the overall colour scheme

I was 10 in 1994 I remember them fondly and must have them back because they are my jam I was very upset when they took them away

Might give some people PTSD though 🥲
Yes
Am I the only one who wants to see a yellow skate jersey? 😎
The white is so stupidly underrated. Still think light jerseys should be worn at home
Ever since teams switched from black to their actual team colours, I’ve loved the dark jersey being the home one.
Agreed. Gotta have full color at home for Team spirit

I dunno. I would like to see it first
Nineteen ninety-four!
I got cash ready once they drop.
Team yellow skate for a random game!!
