Vancouver Canucks Grizzlies-inspired jersey costs four times more than cheapest tickets
The Vancouver Canucks are throwing it back with some Grizzlies-inspired merch, but if you want to get your hands on it, it’s going to cost you.
The team released a new merchandise line with a series of designs featuring a mashup of the Canucks and old Grizzlies logos. There are jerseys, hoodies, shirts, toques, and hats all featuring different mashups of the two logos.
The gear has been on sale inside Rogers Arena for a few days but just got released on VanBase today.

The sticker price for the jersey, which comes in both a white and black version, is $400. That’s quite the price tag and more than four times more expensive than the cheapest remaining ticket to see the Canucks at Rogers Arena this season.
With the team in the midst of a playoff race, the cheapest Canucks ticket left is to watch them play the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday, April 2. The get-in price is $89.54, or less than a quarter of the cost for one of the Canucks/Grizzlies jerseys.
The other items beside the jersey are offered at a cheaper price point. You can buy a shirt for $75 or a toque for $60.
While the $400 jersey price tag can cause some sticker shock, it’s actually cheaper than some of the specialty jerseys the Canucks have released in the past. Last year’s Lunar New Year jersey cost $888, and the final price was close to $1,000 after tax.
While the Grizzlies left Vancouver in 2001, the logo has not died out. Memphis has brought the jerseys back on multiple occasions, including for some games this season.
