Alrighty Mr. Aquilini... with all due respect, at this point, after Thursday's victory over the Flames on our Flying Skate Jersey night... The fans have expressed heavily on how much they want these jerseys to return back & the players/management have publicly expressed their desire and interest to play in these jerseys every home game!!!

As a passionate & loyal fan base that follows & loves this wonderful team & organization, we understand that we can be pretty extreme &  reactive at times and so with that being said, I can understand that making this a permanent switch is not an easy or simple process at all, and from a business standpoint, it's a long-term kind of decision that requires patience, consideration of all the avenues & diligent planning/execution.

So that is why I believe it is fair to ask that you can atleast make the executive decision and allow this team to play with the Black Flying Skate jerseys for the remaining home games of this season! I'm sure you watched the game Mr. Aquilini & as a fan yourself, there's no denying that what we witnessed from this team's performance, effort, and overall the special atmosphere the night had, this could be the spark for something miraculous and electrifying! I truly do believe that superstitions, & rituals are a BIG part in the World & Culture of Sports and depending on the superstitions, it can make or break a team.

There has never been a more perfect, & compelling moment like right now to give the green light on something like this to create a cultural & inspirational momentum shift for the players, coaches, management, fans & your organization as a whole and I feel that it would be a wasted opportunity to not give these boys a chance to play in this jersey for the rest of the season.

Not only does it look sleek, bold, & powerful design wise but we also have nothing to lose on this! After the rollercoaster of a year we've had so far, a decision like this could be the catalyst of a special shift for the team. It's also is a completely quick & doable execution process with justifiable benefits from a business standpoint because it will infuse a culture & message that ownership is all for the movement & backs its players/fanbase, it will increase revenue through ticket sales, merchandise sales, and it will definitely help with the brand of the season by being a hot topic of discussion which in turn. All of these along with other benefits will reap a very positive ROI for you from my projections of the situation which I'm sure is something you can be on board with, Mr. Aquilini.

So I speak to the Canucks fanbase here, I believe in setting a goal for minimum 50,000+ signatures for this petition and urge you to all to sign it, so that Francesco Aquilini can consider this genuinely and take action. The People have spoken from top to bottom with this Franchise! The Black Flying Skate Jerseys need to be in as our kit for the rest of this season's home games because it will bring more pros than cons for our season. You have the powers to give this the green light Mr. Aquilini, and we truly do hope that you will take the voice of the passionate and loyal fans & members of your organization to heart & consideration and provide the boost & spark that this team needs, as we still have a slim but doable chance into grasping a playoff spot for another run and hopefully more samples of what this team can be for years to come. Don't let this once in a lifetime type opportunity go to waste! Believe in the miracle of the Flying Skate!!

We thank you so much for your time & consideration Mr. Aquilini and I speak for the entire Canucks fanbase here, that we hope you respond by making the decision to continue using the Black Flying Skate atleast for the rest of this season, and potentially be open to considering a more permanent, long-term inclusion of this jersey in our rotation.

Sincerely, A local Surrey BC fan, & the entire Canucks Fanbase
