dudacek Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Canucks have 4 jerseys - the regular home and away and two alternates, one a revised throwback, the other a pure throwback 1 Quote

They could potentially remove that on a patch and push the 1970 together. Maybe someone with better eyes than me can say otherwise, but I believe that would make the last two identical. Quote

Expand I mean, typically if you're doing a special patch you keep it uniform and just slap it on everything whether or not the colors match. I'd have expected a Golden Anniversary colored patch (that matches the rumored all white and gold kits) to be put on all the throwback jerseys. But this muddies the waters a bit and seems to go counter to that white and gold theme they're trying to establish. Quote

Expand I feel like if they were going to be wearing all the different uniforms in-game, that would have already been announced. In fact, the Sabres aren't doing themselves any favors by incorporating this level of ambiguity into their plans, unlike Vancouver. I think warm-ups are the best we can hope for at this point. Quote

Expand Well, considering they changed their plans relatively last minute on when to celebrate the 50th, maybe the league asked them to hold off on announcing the unis plans (if in fact they are cycling through them all). Or, it could just be a continuation of the Golisano Era uni unveilment style. The slugs weren't officially presented until training camp. Quote
