Vancouver invited fans to vote for its throwback alternate jersey for the team's golden-anniversary season, and 70 percent chose the Flying Skate option, pushing it ahead of the Flying V and Original Orca stylings.

The Canucks originally wore the Flying Skate uniforms from 1985-97, including when Pavel Bure, Trevor Linden and Co. pushed them to the Stanley Cup Final in 1994. The alternate jersey fan vote is just the first of many plans to celebrate Vancouver's 50th NHL season.
