Here's another classic mess up by the Canucks. In the same vein as the "V" jerseys, Vancouver made some fine tuned adjustments and created the "Star Wars" type uniforms seen above. That's just one of the few nicknames for this "winner". You got the "Flying Skate", "Flying Blade", "Waffle Iron", "Plate of Spaghetti" and "Planet Canuck". Any name you give it, it's still going to be terrible. I guess they figured that the color scheme for the previous jerseys worked so they kept that together minus the "V's". The logo is odd because it looks like a planet, a skate with a blade that says Canucks or just a mixture of lines and the team name thrown in. Minus a thousand points on that one Alex. Although this jersey doesn't have a nameplate, they used the same gold color that is featured here with the stripes and numbers. The home jerseys were changed to white during this time period so at least they got something right.
My final thoughts: The combination of the same colors and the new logo still make this a stinker. The only thing that would make these better is wiping them from the history of NHL jerseys along with the V uniforms.
