This blue has been a significant part of the Avs ‘team color’ jerseys since day one. For whatever reason, this “steel blue” seems to look darker when next to a larger portion of burgundy (and it doesn’t help that Avs merch seems to use 100 different shades of blue) – but I promise you, this is the same shade of blue used on the team color jersey today.

Even if they had gotten rid of the black stripes and opted for another colour or white the jersey would have been light years better than it turned out being. But this is such a lazy design it is shocking. Seriously, you have an opportunity to give your entire organization an expanded identity with which to be associated and you have virtually no boundaries. I would have relished in the effort and like The Blues or The Wild put a great deal of effort into my team's new look. This looks like it was banged out by some 10 year old in MS Paint. Such a let down.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565630433382572677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906875144542272320.post-83405341889640293822009-11-13T13:02:40.250-06:002009-11-13T13:02:40.250-06:00I think this new Avalanche jersey is lazy and unin...I think this new Avalanche jersey is lazy and uninspired. I'd like to see that bigfoot paw on the front, although that doesn't quite relate to an "avalanche".<br /><br />As for the Panthers, there were rumors about powder blue, and I just hope they don't use it. Like you said, it just doesn't work on anyone else, especially since the Panthers have only used navy, red, gold, and white. I wish they'd bring back the all red again.mtjawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890171103387203704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906875144542272320.post-21630498245648146332009-11-13T12:25:53.427-06:002009-11-13T12:25:53.427-06:00JTH - you are exactly right.

If you mean as an accent colour, why is it now a primary jersey colour? I get that the blue was to represent ice, but to say they have history with it is the same as suggesting the Islanders have history with teal because they wore it on their Fisherman jerseys.<br /><br />And you don't see the Isles in teal, do you?Teebzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538474727022437837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906875144542272320.post-49793757634153739602009-11-13T11:17:58.107-06:002009-11-13T11:17:58.107-06:00To your point about the light blue, I dare say tha...To your point about the light blue, I dare say that the Avalanche do have some extended history with light blue, so I would argue - in that respect - it works here.<br /><br /><a href="http://espn.go.com/media/nhl/2003/0205/photo/q_beck.jpg" rel="nofollow">Nordiques</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906875144542272320.post-34006281582381082572009-11-13T10:32:34.993-06:002009-11-13T10:32:34.993-06:00Is it just me or have they changed their blue colo...Is it just me or have they changed their blue color over the years?

Which makes it lamer than Vancouver. The last burgandy ones were horrible, and these are worse due to the fact that they are light blue - a colour totally associated with the Avalanche.<br /><br />These are absolute crap.Teebzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00538474727022437837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906875144542272320.post-91411189382866736112009-11-13T07:17:15.419-06:002009-11-13T07:17:15.419-06:00This isn't the greatest jersey in the world, b...This isn't the greatest jersey in the world, but its not that bad, Teebz.<br /> <br />There are 22 NHL teams with an alt right now. Its better than 8 of them. <br /><br />It doesn't include a number on the front, which puts it ahead of Atlanta and Dallas. <br /><br />Its not black (for no reason), which puts it ahead of Carolina, Phoenix and San Jose. <br /><br />It doesn't feature a team nickname, which puts it ahead of Ottawa and Tampa Bay. <br /><br />And it isn't exactly the same, with a different logo on the front, which puts it ahead of Vancouver. <br /><br />So its a middle of the pack alternate.Seanhttp://anyonebutdetroit.comnoreply@blogger.com
