30 best NHL jerseys of all-time
28. Vancouver Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks have a difficult task at hand when making an emblem and designing a jersey in general. They do not have the luxury of a typical animal mascot because a “canuck” is essentially slang for a Canadian. That alone severely limits their options, but they somehow managed to put this jersey together.
Overall the color scheme is appealing. The variations of blue mixed with a medium-dark green makes for an aesthetically pleasing look, particularly with their away jerseys because the color pops on white. Vancouver’s simple choice in font and strategic placement of stripes, both large and small, make for the entire jersey itself to come together.
Their logo could use a revamp, but it is a lot more difficult than one could imagine to embody an entire brand into a design that is not boring, but has enough going on to be pleasing to the eye.
For a Canadian franchise that has had a number of different color palettes, it seems as if Vancouver has managed to find one that works. After 20 years of red, black and gold mixtures, which eventually developed into a red, blue and white color scheme, the Canucks can be confident in their decision 10 years ago to stick to cool tones.
