Canucks Bringing Back the 'Flying Skate' Sweaters

[Frank Drebin]

Better than nashvilles yellow, no?

 

[NYR94]

I like that old color scheme better than the current one.

 

[bossram]

Oh god, the spaghetti plate jersey is atrocious. Yah, I get there's nostalgia and some good memories there, but it's straight up ugly. I couldn't even tell it was a skate until I was like 17, and the Halloween colour scheme is so wacky.

The millionaires jerseys are way slicker. Or wear the original stick-in-rink kits for promotional nights.

Just not the spaghetti plate.

 

[I am not exposed]

I’m sure everyone thought the logo is a nod to one of the best rock albums of all time.

Hell yeah!

Love Judas Priest. Great album.

 

[njdevils1982]

that is the flying V

the better choice was not had

 

[PeoriaBlues309]

So are they wearing these just in 19-20 or this coming season as well?

 

[lawrence]

What exactly is a "Canuck" anyways?

is a slang for a Canadian. Used during the 40's and 50's I believe. It's like Canadas equivalent of a Yankee,

Slang for Americans is a (yankee) Slang for a Canadians is a (canuck) its our equivalent

So are they wearing these just in 19-20 or this coming season as well?

19-20 season for selected games.

 

[lawrence]

I feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t like these. The arena logo jerseys have always been my favourite

actually 30% of the voters didn't want the black skate, so no, your not special many others hate it too.

 

[brokenhole]

I dont get it, i find it disgusting

You don't get a lot of things.

The Millionairs sweaters are ok except the see through pants. Eddie Lacks skidmark is something that you cant unsee and will haunt you for the rest of your life.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

One of the greatest jerseys of all time, takes me straight to my childhood . 1994 SCF and The Russian Rocket never forget.

 

[Pens x]

At least Anaheim took a chance at being creative. This is just lazy on the Canucks’ part.

The jersey still looks really outdated to me. The logo is putrid.

 

[Beville]

Do we know which uniform this will be?

All we need now is the V uniform (or whatever you call it).

 

[Summer Rose]

What's funny is that I never realized it was a skate until they were long gone and I was an adult.

:embarassed:

I didn't even realize they were a flying skate until I saw this thread title, how about that?

I started watching hockey in 2001 and never really saw them though.

 

[tony d]

Those were good jerseys for sure, nice to see them brought back.

 

[Eat The Rich]

Their "subtlety" with more recent jerseys did prompt this:

It is kinda funny how they've always historically had hidden elements in their uniforms. The Sleeve V, Stick in rink, flying skate..

And then they come out with the VANCOUVER jerseys.

Maybe they were hoping people wouldn't notice.

 

[Super Hans]

I also heard they're replacing the video screens to 30 ft. CRT screens and the arena DJ is going to play nothing but disco on vinyl.

What an overall horrible opinion, Anaheim completely shit the bed with their new Mighty Ducks scheme.

Calling the flying skate logo “putrid” is absolutely hilarious. The Canucks wore this jersey in 2016 against Toronto and it surely didn’t look “outdated”.

People only like this because of the whole nostalgia thing. If this was a totally new sweater people would critizing it. What is that logo!? It would be shredded to no end here.

Most people would love literally any jersey previously worn by a team on this site strictly for nostalgic reasons.

 

[BlueDream]

I wish they could get rid of their current jerseys.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

I don't hate the spaghetti plate/flying skate, but I do feel strongly that the team needs to stay committed to a color scheme at this point. I mean...

^And that's without the maroon Millionaires jersey option.

I say bring it all up to Cascadian blues and greens and be done with it.

(Credits at this link)

Maybe that Millionaire's one is a bit suspect (though the "V" done in blue with white lettering as a patch was sweet when it was used a few years back).

If I could pick, I would convert everything to blues/greens. You could have something like the stick in rink as the primary jersey logo (with the orca C as a shoulder patch), and you could have the spaghetti plate as the 3rd (with the blue Vancouver Millionaire V as the shoulder patch).

Abler souls than me could pick out the best placements for the various historical symbols. Just limit the darn palette and put some distance between the technicolor yawn that is the history of coloring for this franchise's gear.

 

[crazychimp]

I always enjoyed these they should have always been our 3rd jerseys, however they need to go back to their roots and forget about that weird looking whale and go back to the originals!

 

[Three On Zero]

Second best jersey next to the throw back millionaires jersey (how can you not like the Stanley cup winning jersey the best!)

 

[end]

I hate how every pacific northwest team wants to wear green and blue. WE GET IT THERE'S TREES AND RAIN DO ANYTHING ELSE

also bring back long pants. the classy way to play hockey.
