For quite some time now, fans have been begging for the team to bring back these uniforms, quite possibly the most popular sweaters the Canucks have donned in franchise history.

The jerseys are just a small part of the year long celebration of Rogers Arena this season. The team announced that there would also be celebrations to honor players and iconic moments all throughout the year.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to start saving up my spare change in order to buy one of these bad boys with Bo Horvat's name on the back.

I'm more excited about the return of the black skate jersey than is probably healthy. #Canucks #Freetheskate
