The Vancouver Canucks are turning back the clock and acknowledging their history in more ways than one with a new alternate uniform.

The club revealed its new third jersey on the same night it paid tribute to late fan favorite Gino Odjick, who donned the original "Black Skate" sweater during his playing days. He died Sunday at the age of 52.

The Canucks used the "Black Skate" as their primary logo from 1978-97, according to SportsLogos.net. They've occasionally brought the classic jersey back in smaller doses, including for a few games in 2019-20 during their 50th anniversary season.
