The Canucks first brought back their black skate jersey for a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on February 13, 2016, to honour their 20th anniversary of Rogers Arena. They then reintroduced the throwback jersey for select games in the 2019-20 season to celebrate the Canucks’ 50th anniversary – the design was chosen based on a fan vote between two other throwback jerseys.
However, come January 18, 2023, the Canucks introduced a more modernized black skate jersey. The organization removed the white trim and updated the font to match their current design on the regular home jerseys.
For the rest of the Canucks’ 21 games, fans will see their team sporting their blue and green orca jersey. However, once they return from their current five-game road trip, the Canucks will sport the infamous 1990s jersey in their next three home games against the Canadiens, Oilers and Rangers – JT Miller‘s return.
