I’m not going to pretend to be some opinionated jersey phenom. I like the Johnny Canuck logo, but I think summing these up as “uninspired” sounds about right.
Here’s hoping that these reverse retros aren’t as cursed as the ones from 2020-21.
During the disastrous North Division season, the Canucks played four games in their Sprite-can-inspired reverse retro uniforms. They went winless in those four contests (having deja vu?), including being shutout in two of those contests.
Well, here’s hoping they can win at least ONE game while wearing the new uniforms. The Canucks released their reverse retro schedule shortly following their initial jersey announcement.
We’ll get our first look at the jerseys during NHL action on Tuesday, November 1st against the New Jersey Devils.
Welcome Johnny Canuck back to Vancouver starting November 1st!

Here’s a couple of opinions on jerseys from around the NHL that you didn’t ask for.
San Jose wins for truly nailing the reverse and the retro

Some truly heinous jersey crimes this year, which is nice. But overall, a pretty boring lot. Minnesota phoning it in and just throwing out an alternate of 2021's RR is a big miss for me. pic.twitter.com/Xi8OciG5St

In other pressing jersey-related news, the Canucks reportedly will no longer use the old stick and rink logo as their third jersey.
More #Canucks jersey news. I'm told the Canucks won't be wearing their stick-in-rink heritage jerseys this season. It had been in their rotation since 2019. pic.twitter.com/IjNNZLUnNm
