How to pick the right Vancouver Canucks jersey to buy
Picking a player
Choosing what player to put on your jersey can seem like a daunting task, much like choosing a style it comes down to three things.
Skilled for celebrations
One of the best things about owning a jersey is identifying with the player on the back, and when you get to take part in the glory when your guy scores I imagine the people on the TV flaunting their Ryan Kesler jerseys during the Nashville series when he took over. Having a skilled player on your jersey can be amazing, but everybody and their dog is representing the best players on the team.
Having the best player’s name on the back of your jersey adds for some added security because they will be a high-value piece for the team. But, if a player not getting traded is your main reason to choose them on the back of your jersey, choose Loui Eriksson.
Some examples include: Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, J.T Miller, Quinn Hughes, and maybe Jacob Markstrom.
Character guys
Choosing a player who plays a rough and tumble type of hockey can be a great way to show off your favourite player, Alex Burrows and Kevin Bieksa reminds me of that type of player. These players have more of a chance at getting traded than the skilled guys but sometimes last even longer if they are imperative to the success of the team.
Some examples include: Bo Horvat, Alex Edler, Jake Virtanen, Tanner Pearson, and Tyler Myers
Potential future stars
If you’re down for a little risk factor you could take a gamble on a young gun. These kids could miss some games by either playing the AHL or getting healthy scratched in favour of another player. These players could even be packaged in trades to improve the team at the trade deadline.
Oh, how sweet is it when they finally make it and you have the jersey, this year they even have timestamps with the 50th year to say you got it first!
Some examples include: Adam Gaudette, Zack MacEwen, Thatcher Demko, and Nikita Tryamkin (if he ever arrives).

The path to your dream jersey is a tough one and I hope I made it a little bit easier, but everyone has their own thoughts and preferences. Canucks jerseys on Vanbase are going for $280-$298 plus tax, its a steep price to pay for fandom but its an experience. I’ll be getting my jersey November 5th before the game I’m going to and I haven’t even begun to narrow down the player search.
