Bad move Canucks. Stink-in-Rink is among their best looks in a very confused visual history.
Especially with the retro stripes, even if they don’t have the white V on the sleeve stripes. I actually do prefer the big, bold stripes to their regular stripe pattern.
The Timberwolves court is a graphic design concept and not official
