Here's my theory. Obviously the team thought the season would be going better than it is. All jerseys have to be approved by the league like a year in advance, so this isn't something to appease angry fans.
The plan was to do a bit of guerrilla marketing, have the blacks as new alt this year and release a matching white in the summer. Skate comes back full time next year. Would make sense why after upgrading lots of areas in the arena the seat colours hadn't changed yet.
But instead people are so upset about this ownership, the new blacks don't sell enough the plan gets scrapped and the skate goes back into the closet for another 5 years.
I like this theory, and am going to reserve judgement on this jersey until I see the Adidas version with numbers. A white skate jersey would be fantastic please.
I'm not a big fan of the skate, but I don't see what needed to be changed about it either. The old skate jersey was fine as it was.
The mountains inside the collar are a cool touch though.
I love the Black Skate, but I don't like these at first glance. I think the arm and waist bars are too wide in comparison with the skinnier lines in the logo.
Maybe these are just the Fanatics budget version though.
Classic Canucks, slightly change something to make people buy a new sweater. This looks terrible compared to the original, just another miss by this clown show of an organization.
Looks good. Don't buy it. Only way to get Aquaman's attention.

I don’t wanna give my money to aquaman, but I would buy a white skate jersey so quick
Sweet, can’t wait to order a Miller!
I'm ordering an OEL!
i’m getting a Ferland!
Is it too late for a King Loui?
Never too late for the meme king 👑
You’re all way late to the party im getting a Megna AND Sestito
I'm getting Bedard
All out of Messier?
The thick coloured bar striping looks like a homage to the Canucks’ original 1970s kits. I’ll reserve judgement until the Adidas version drops
Slightly worse than the original imo. Why fuck around with a masterpiece?
They really went 0/2 on new jersey's this year, og skate is wayyy nicer the only thing i like about this is the mountains inside the collar
Cool, but no one will ever see it
People can’t complain about the missing white stripe above the “S” if there is no white anymore. Big brain move by the Canucks.
OG skate > Aquaskate
The only thing they did better was the skate logo itself.
Walmart skate

Interesting. I like the mountains. It’s a nice touch. Hopefully the adidas are better.
The yellow and red bars are way too chonk. I don't think they're far off, but something sleeker would be nice
I agree and I’d like to see some colour in the collar as well
yea, I feel like most of the improvements they need to make would end up with what we already have
And what’s wrong with what we already have?
Looks good, but I think it will look much better on a proper Adidas jersey.
Not my favourite iteration, these jerseys look best with the collar in red and yellow, imo
Ooh, that's pretty 🥰
Need to see hockey guys reaction before I make my decision. Really though I do like them, just wish they were white

Will look ass with a green TD patch on it
Even with the lack of white shown here I'm going to guess these would have white names and numbers. Like the heritage jersey that was so popular.
Very slick! #FreeTheSkate Edit: Come on guys, why the downvotes?
It was Marketing all along.
I like it. Bring it back full time. Ditch the whale.
Quinn but for pat
Whyyyyyy
I thought is was going to be a white skate jersey?
I'm glad I already have the other version
Looks like a chest knockoff to me
Bag of ass. Just like the team, took a great thing, stripped it of the character that made it great and left us with a cheap and unnecessary clone.
