The best Vancouver uniform Generation

[-kj]

I liked that look better when they had yellow home jerseys, though (and not the big Vs).

No Vancouver uniform has been good. I could deal with the current green/blue if they had a better crest, like Skating Johnny Canuck or the V-Johnny, but I don't think their navy/red uniforms ever suited them, and the red/yellow/black, with or without the flying V, was way too loud and gaudy for Vancouver and/or British Columbia.

[charger77]

Agreed.

The flying skate logo with yellow at home and the Vs on the shoulders is my favorite Canuck look.

I think perfection was their jerseys worn during the Bure era, but I still have an affection for the yellow "V" shoulder with the flying skate.

I've never thought that red yellow and black worked for a city like Vancouver. The current uniforms have stripe consistency issues and I wish the blue was a little darker. My favorite Canucks uniforms were these bad boys

Ah the West Coast Express years!

I still wear my home white Cloutier jersey.

As a bonus, it makes it impossible for a beachball to hit you.

I grew up with the black gold, red and white jerseys, but I have to say the original 70's jerseys are the best overall iteration of the Canucks' uniforms. The current ones would have taken it, had they not used the Orca and combined it with a script. The 70's and current colours of lite blue, green and white are perfect for a city like Vancouver, which is on the ocean, surrounded by mountains, and in a province covered in trees, at least when we aren't clear-cutting them.

The dark blue, red, and silver jerseys never did anything for me.

I've always been a fan of the current blue-green unis, and the red-yellow-black from the 90's.

These jerseys were definitly aesthetically pleasing but to me they scream "Colorado Avalanche." Got to go with the current era of Canucks jerseys as their updated colour scheme is arguably one of the best in the league. They just need to get rid of the oversized wordmark or design a new set based on their current alternate.

[Corvus]

I think the thing that killed the original Orca set for me was its' associations with one of the worst times in the team's history, the Messier-Keenan years.

[Red Wolf]

Flying skate is my favorite by far. It's a little goofy and probably wouldn't fly today, though they should use it as a throwback every once in a while.

Flying skate more goofy than the Orca? For real?

Yes, I believe so. But I still like the flying skate and the jerseys that went with it. It could be a partly nostalgia thing, but then again, I still look at them fondly. Whereas a lot of things from those days don't seem nearly as cool now.

Ahh, China fakes, God bless you.

It was the best I could do without ay real effort

[DustDevil61]

I like their original green/blue look best (I'm glad they went back to those colors, though the "VANCOUVER" and the orca are a different story), but the orange/yellow/black of the 80's were good, after they ditched the V look. Hockey needs more teams wearing yellow in place of white.

My favourite Canucks sweaters were these... From right in the middle of the sublimated era for NHL sweaters.

[NJTank]

The Canucks current unis are the best they ever had, and its not hard since they have such a bad history of hideous uniforms.

I fricking love that jersey! I wore that one to class a ton in high school and college, unfortunately its not lettered... yet.

Bring it back!

I can't explain it, but I love these.

I don't know why, but in every sport but football I'm drawn to the crazy 70's looks. In football, IMO all the best uniforms were from the 50's and 60's... the Rams' gold jerseys, the original Chargers, UCLA first powder blues with the white trim, the Bart Starr Packers, and Fran Tarkenton in purple pants... on and on. But Baseball and Hockey? For me, give me the Padres in brown, orange and yellow, the A's wearing gold from head to knee with the vests and that awesome bright kelly (I went back to the 60's there I guess) and, of course, the greatest baseball uniform of all time, the Houston Astros' rainbows with JR Richards pitching.

And these hockey uniforms... I just remember seeing them on TV one time and thinking, is that a Hockey jersey? Where's the logo? And for some reason, that question actually made me LIKE these. Call me sick I guess.

[TruColor]

I probably make some of you crazy when I do this, but I just gotta:

[slapshot]

Bring it back!

It must be the material, but the dark color of the V looks brown, compared to the black on the shoulders.
