The first major transition for the Canucks organization was their switch from the "Stick in a Rink" design to the terrible "Giant V" look. Along with the change in logo, the team also drastically altered their color scheme from blue, green and white to the standout gold, black and orange. According to the designers of this whooper of a jersey, the giant "V" and the subsequent "V's" along the rest of the uniform stand for Victory and not Vancouver. Kind of an interesting considering that the Canucks didn't win very often during their time with the dreaded V, compiling a record of 197-264-99 in that span.The fact that it takes up most of the jersey speaks to its ineffective artistic ability. The worst thing about these jerseys really is the color scheme. Who in their right mind would think that gold, orange and black would actually be effective? Especially when you make a gold a primary color (not a good idea). What exactly is there to like about this? Like a few of the other jerseys I've gone through, the color scheme is really distracting and downright rude. It hurts my eyes just looking at this thing. The away jerseys aren't any better; instead of gold it's all black. Truly an awful design for (at the time) an awful team.
My final thoughts: I have said that there are some jerseys here that I've analyzed to be some of the worst in NHL history. Well now I'm telling you THIS is the WORST jersey in NHL history by far.
