Flying V jerseys of the late ’70s/early ’80s get the pre-game warmup, while the Spaghetti Skate livery that followed will grace the Rogers Arena ice surface against the Sabres

The Saturday matinee at Rogers Arena will feature two clubs who joined the NHL at the same time, the Canucks and the Buffalo Sabres, and for the occasion the Canucks are going retro.

“By popular demand, the black skate jerseys are back,” said Chris Brumwell, the Canucks vice-president of communications, fan and community engagement. “They’ve twisted the hockey stick a bit, made it at an angle and changed the colours a bit,” Borovich told Postmedia recently. “Things only I’d notice.”

The Flying V was the brainchild of artists in San Francisco who were paid $100,000 in 1978 dollars to come up with a colour scheme that turned out to be as far from Borovich’s as possible, one they said conveyed aggression and that would create “happy, upbeat” players.
