Can Do Vancouver

 I didn't have a chance to post this before they were eliminated, but I really like what the Vancouver Canucks have done with their uniforms.

I'm not sold on having 'Vancouver' on the front, but the color scheme is great.  Reminds me of the old Hartford Whalers.  (Ironically, they added a whale to their logo.)


Obviously, it's much better than this....


I mean, what were they thinking?  

Here is a historical look at the Canucks' uniforms over the years - http://canucks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=MediaGalleryPlayer&galleryId=10496.  They're like the Chicago White Sox of the NHL when it comes to uniforms.  By that I mean their uniforms have dramatically changed have some horrendous variations.

Also, I didn't realize the word 'canuck' comes from a cartoon character.  Here is some history - http://canucks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=12896
