The Flying V

It's a fairly well known fact that the Vancouver Canucks have had more makeovers than any other team in the NHL. The first makeover in the late 1970's involved the change from the colors of blue and green to the colors of black, orange, and yellow. Obviously, the new color scheme would not mesh with the logo they had at the time, so it would have to be a complete makeover, for sure. The result is the infamous "Flying V" jerseys. For much of the early 1980's, that was the jersey of the Vancouver Canucks, and while the road black versions of those jerseys were acceptable, at best, it was the yellow home versions that would cause blindness to even the most sharp sighted person. You have to give the people responsible for the design some credit for having the balls to come up with something different and even going so far as to have a back story behind the jersey design. Luckily, no one else has tried this design, although there have been quite a few jerseys that have clearly looked worse than what Vancouver donned in the early 1980's.
