The team’s first six seasons (1995–2001) were played at General Motors Place, now Rogers Arena, in Vancouver. They were mostly miserable seasons as the Grizzlies managed just 101 wins against 359 losses and never came close to making the playoffs.

The franchise left town in 2001 after owner Michael Heisley, who purchased the team from John McCaw two years prior, decided to move the team to Tennessee.

It was a kick in the teeth to the Vancouver basketball fans who supported the perennial loser.

“This season’s Vancouver Classic Edition uniforms will not only feature the iconic teal base, but it will also stay true to its classic design with the native Canadian Pacific Northwest pattern outlining the uniform. The original Grizzlies wordmark will be displayed across the chest while the Grizzlies’ first iconic bear logo sits on the leg of the shorts,” the Memphis Grizzlies said in a statement.
