Potential Leaked New Vancouver Canucks Uniforms Show Slight Alteration to Previous Design
By Scott Rogust
Rumors began circulating around the NHL world that the Vancouver Canucks would be making uniform changes for the 2019-20 season.
On Tuesday, a Reddit user leaked said alterations for next season, and no, it wasn't anything major. Instead, the "Vancouver" text above the orca whale logo has been removed and the color scheme of the shoulder logos were changed.
Other than that, the uniform scheme remains the same.

Chris Creamer of SportsNetLogos.com confirmed that the changes were legit.
If you remember, the retro logo located on the shoulders of the sweater were always blue. Now, the Canucks opted to make the patches white.

The changes were made to commemorate Vancouver's 50th season in the NHL. The Canucks already created an official anniversary logo, and confirmed that they were bringing back their ever-popular "flying skate" throwbacks as their alternate uniforms.
So there you have it, the orca whale logo has made the cut for next season. While many fans will be disappointed in the lack of major changes, there are still going to be fans and collectors who will look to cop this sweater next season.
