1978–79 Vancouver Canucks season

The 1978–79 Vancouver Canucks season was the team's ninth in the National Hockey League.

Offseason
The Canucks radically changed their appearance by changing the team's colors, logo and jersey. The blue and green scheme was replaced with gold, red and black. The logo of a stylized 'C' was replaced by a stylized ice skate in the new colors with the blade over top the name 'Canucks'. For the jersey, the logo was displayed on shoulder patches while the main body had the team's new colors arranged in a 'V' pattern, for Vancouver. The home jerseys were primarily yellow, a rarity at the time as most teams used white as the primary color for their home uniforms.

Draft picks
Vancouver's draft picks at the 1978 NHL Amateur Draft held at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal.
