Canucks release 2024-25 black skate jersey schedule

Saturday’s game will mark the first of 18 games this season where the beloved alternate jerseys will be worn by the Canucks at Rogers Arena. It is an increase of three games compared to the 15 times it was used during the 2023-24 season. Of the 16 teams Vancouver will face while donning the Black Skate, the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks will play against them twice this campaign.

Knowing that the Canucks will get to wear these alternates for roughly 44% of their home games is no doubt going to get fans feeling excited that these timeless classics will stick around for another year. Since being brought back into circulation late in the 2021-22 season, these sweaters have remained a fan favourite for young and old fans as they harken back to some of their glory days in the 1990s.

They were so popular that fans called for the team to make it their home jersey for the 2024 playoffs, which unfortunately did not come to fruition. However, the fact that they are going to be used more certainly suggests the Cancuks are making the fans’ prayers answered, so maybe it could become a reality this spring should they qualify for the postseason.
