The Vancouver Canucks will be celebrating Black History Month tomorrow night against the Detroit Red Wings. The game will start at 7 pm, and the Canucks will wear special jerseys during the warmup and then wear their very popular Black Skate jerseys for tomorrow’s game.
Their special warmup jerseys were designed by award-winning artist, Yared Nigussu. The blank jerseys can be purchased now on Vanbase and at the Canucks Team Store at Rogers Arena tomorrow night. The player-worn jerseys will be auctioned off at the game.
Designed by award-winning artist, Yared Nigussu, the Black History Month collection combines the rich colours, patterns, and textile designs of Ethiopia with the Canucks Orca.

The starting bids for the top players like Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes are $850, while the other players start at $800. Those are just the starting bids keep in mind. They will all likely be higher than that when the bids officially close tomorrow at 10 pm.
There is also other merchandise the Canucks are releasing alongside the special jerseys. There will be a tee shirt, pin, puck, and stickers that all have the Black History Month Canucks logo on them. All sales from the merchandise will go to the BC Black History Awareness Society.

The Canucks will be playing a home-and-home game against the Red Wings, as they just played them on Saturday in Detroit in a 5-2 losing effort. You can expect much more from the Canucks tomorrow celebrating Black History Month other than just the special jerseys and merchandise. During commercial breaks and intermissions, there will likely be special videos played on the jumbotron for people watching the game in Rogers Arena to see.
