First worn from 1978-1997, the Canucks’ Flying Skate jersey has been brought back several times throughout the years, but hasn’t been worn since the 2019-20 season.
The Canucks did not confirm on how many occasions they will be wearing their old look.
But fans were hyped regardless, with some petitioning for them to make them either their permanent third jersey, or even their permanent look altogether.
